COURSE OVERVIEW
Missile Analysis Training presents a broad introduction to major missile subsystems and their integrated performance, explained in practical terms, but including relevant analytical methods. While the emphasis is on today’s homing missiles and future trends, the course includes a historical perspective of relevant older missiles. Both endoatmospheric and exoatmospheric missiles (missiles that operate in the atmosphere and in space) are addressed. Missile propulsion, guidance, control, and seekers are covered, and their roles and interactions in integrated missile operations are explained.
The types and applications of missile simulation and testing are presented. Comparisons of autopilot designs, guidance approaches, seeker alternatives, and instrumentation for various purposes are presented. The Missile Analysis Training course is recommended for analysts, engineers, and technical managers who want to broaden their understanding of modern missiles and missile systems. The analytical descriptions require some technical or mathematical background, but practical explanations can be appreciated by students without this background.
