COURSE OVERVIEW

Missiles provide the essential accuracy and standoff range capabilities of paramount importance in modern warfare. Technologies for missiles are rapidly emerging, resulting in the frequent introduction of new missile systems. The ability to meet the essential requirements for missile systems’ performance, cost, risk, and launch platform integration is driven by missile design, development, and system engineering.

This 3-day Hypersonic Missile Design and Engineering Training course will discuss Hypersonic Missile Design and Engineering from a system-level perspective. The class will touch on hypersonic missile design, development, analysis, and system engineering activities, highlighting the promising advantages of hypersonic missiles and, at the same time, discussing the underlying limitations that this technology may bring.

World superpowers compete to develop the most effective hypersonic missiles in the new race. The question is, can hypersonic missiles hide from the increasingly sophisticated tracking surveillance technology? Is the massive investment into this technology worth the opportunity cost that could otherwise go into other pressing needs?
