Synopsis:

In his latest book, Missile Design Guide, Eugene Fleeman presents a comprehensive compilation of the missile design process pulling from his 50+ years of experience in the design and development of missile systems. The handbook consists of full color figures with self-standing graphs, tables, charts, and diagrams. It is aimed toward the needs of missile engineers, system engineers, system analysts, program managers, aerospace engineering students, and professors. Readers have a quick reference for missile design, missile technologies, launch platform integration, targeting, fire control integration, missile system measures of merit, and the missile system development process. Topics Discussed Key drivers in the missile design, development, and system engineering process Critical tradeoffs, methods, and technologies in aerodynamic, propulsion, structure, seeker, warhead, fuzing, and subsystems sizing to meet flight performance and other requirements platform and fire control system integration Robustness, lethality, guidance, navigation and control, accuracy, observables, survivability, safety, reliability, and cost considerations Missile sizing examples Missile system and missile technology development process Special Features Simple, closed-form, physics-based analytical expressions that provide insight into primary driving parameters Example calculations of rocket-powered, ramjet-powered, and turbojet powered missiles as well as guided bombs Examples of the characteristics of current missiles Enabling subsystems and technologies of missiles, and the state of the art of missiles Detailed appendices, including homework problems/classroom exercises and quizzes Access to the web site for this book - which includes over 100 missile videos, missile configuration design software, missile design studies by Georgia Tech graduate students, and a STEM project for students.

About the Author: Eugene L. Fleeman has 50+ years of government, industry, academia, and consulting experience in the design and development of missile systems. Formerly a manager of missile programs at the US Air Force Research Laboratory, Rockwell International, Boeing, and Georgia Tech, he is an international lecturer on missiles and the author of over 200 publications, including four textbooks.
