Synopsis
This self-contained short course provides the fundamentals of tactical missile design, development, and integration. A system-level, integrated method is provided for missile configuration design and analysis. It addresses the broad range of alternatives in meeting performance, cost and other measures of merit requirements such as robustness, lethality, accuracy, observables, survivability, and reliability. Methods are generally simple closed-form analytical expressions that are physics-based, to provide insight into the primary driving parameters. Configuration sizing examples are presented for rocket, turbojet, and ramjet-powered missiles. Typical values of missile parameters and the characteristics of current operational missiles are discussed. Also discussed are enabling subsystems and technologies for tactical missiles, the missile development process, the current/projected state-of-the-art, and launch platform integration. Videos illustrate missile development activities and performance. Attendees will vote on the relative emphasis of types of targets, types of launch platforms, topics, and one-on-one/round-table discussion.
Key Topics
- Key drivers in the missile design process
- Critical trade-offs, methods, and technologies in subsystems, aerodynamics, propulsion, and structure sizing
- Launch platform-missile integration
- Robustness, lethality, accuracy, observables, survivability, reliability, and cost considerations
- Missile sizing examples and the development process for missile systems and missile technologies
Who Should Attend
The course is oriented toward the needs of missile engineers, systems analysts, program managers, marketing personnel, engineering professors, and others working in the area of missile systems and technology development.
