For both experts and novices, presents the principles of both tactical and strategic missile guidance in a common language, notation, and perspective, with numerous examples to illustrate the concepts. This revised edition (1st ed., 1990) adds three new chapters on the fundamentals of endoatmospheric ballistic targets; a new chapter showing how covariance analysis can be used to analyze missile guidance systems; two new appendices; and included Macintosh and IBM compatible formatted disks containing the FORTRAN code listings presented in the text.

"In his latest book, Missile Design and System Engineering, Eugene L. Fleeman comprehensively reviews the missile design and system engineering process, drawing on his decades of experience in designing and developing missile systems. Addressing the needs of aerospace engineering students and professors, systems analysts and engineers, and program managers, the book examines missile design, missile technologies, launch platform integration, missile system measures of merit, and the missile system development process. This book has been adapted from Fleeman's earlier title, Tactical Missile Design, Second Edition, to include a greater emphasis on system engineering." --Back cover.
Rocket and air-breathing propulsion systems are the foundation on which planning for future aerospace systems rests. A Review of United States Air Force and Department of Defense Aerospace Propulsion Needs assesses the existing technical base in these areas and examines the future Air Force capabilities the base will be expected to support. This report also defines gaps and recommends where future warfighter capabilities not yet fully defined could be met by current science and technology development plans.
The book follows a unified approach to present the basic principles of rocket propulsion in concise and lucid form. This textbook comprises of ten chapters ranging from brief introduction and elements of rocket propulsion, aerothermodynamics to solid, liquid and hybrid propellant rocket engines with chapter on electrical propulsion. Worked out examples are also provided at the end of chapter for understanding uncertainty analysis. This book is designed and developed as an introductory text on the fundamental aspects of rocket propulsion for both undergraduate and graduate students. It is also aimed towards practicing engineers in the field of space engineering. This comprehensive guide also provides adequate problems for audience to understand intricate aspects of rocket propulsion enabling them to design and develop rocket engines for peaceful purposes.
This best-selling text focuses on the analysis and design of complicated dynamics systems. CHOICE called it “a high-level, concise book that could well be used as a reference by engineers, applied mathematicians, and undergraduates. The format is good, the presentation clear, the diagrams instructive, the examples and problems helpful...References and a multiple-choice examination are included.”
