Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Tactical missiles target military installations or key civilian infrastructure in the vicinity of the front line. With the growth in the deployment of remotely guided UAVs, launch locations of guided missiles are getting closer to their targets. The tactical missiles covered in these 3 volumes are expected to play critical roles in the new generation of localised battlefields. Offering an advanced introduction to tactical guided missiles, Tactical Missiles - From Concepts to Components bridges the gap between the well-established theories of combustion, fluid mechanics, explosive materials, and modelling and control in the context of guided missile design. Volume 1 covers propulsion and aerodynamics, Volume 2 covers guidance and control, and Volume 3 focuses on warheads. Encompassing multiple subject areas, from mathematics, physics, and chemistry as well as several branches of engineering, the author brings together his broad expertise developed from decades in academia and the defence sector, in order to provide this advanced introduction to new graduates joining the missile industry. The books will also be a useful reference for researchers and post graduate students in defence, UAV, aerodynamics and radar departments and courses at universities worldwide.
