COURSE OVERVIEW
Missile System Design Training is recommended for those who wish to broaden their understanding of missiles. Conceptual design methods are presented for the major subsystems and for predicting performance, cost, risk, and launch platform integration. Examples are shown of subsystem and system development test activities. Configuration sizing examples include rocket-powered, ramjet-powered, and turbo-jet-powered missiles as well as guided bombs.
The Missile System Design Training course presents typical characteristics of missiles, the historical development of subsystems, enabling technologies, and the state-of-the-art. Over seventy videos illustrate missile development activities and performance. Each attendee will design, build, and fly a small air-powered rocket based on the analysis and prediction methods of the course. This Missile System Design Training course is based on the instructor’s 880-page AIAA textbook Missile Design and System Engineering, which includes free software.
