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
- Launch 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.
