Course Details
Missile Design, Development, and System Engineering | On-Demand Course
Course Length: 27 hours total - delivered across nine sessions of 3-hours each.
Continuing Education Units (CEUs): 27
Description: Missiles provide the essential accuracy and standoff range capabilities that are required in modern warfare. Technologies for missiles are rapidly emerging, resulting in the frequent introduction of new missile systems. The capability to meet the requirements for performance, cost, risk, and launch platform integration of missile systems is driven by missile design, development, and system engineering.
A system-level, integrated method is provided for the missile design, development, analysis, and system engineering activities in addressing requirements such as cost, performance, risk, and launch platform integration. The prediction methods presented are generally simple closed-form analytical expressions that are physics-based, to provide better insight into the primary driving parameters. Configuration sizing examples and predictions are presented for rocket-powered, ramjet-powered, and turbojet-powered missiles as well as guided bombs. Typical values of missile parameters and the characteristics of current operational missiles are discussed as well as the enabling subsystems and technologies for missiles and the current/projected state-of-the-art. Over 100 videos illustrate missile development activities and missile performance.
Who Should Attend: The course is oriented toward the needs of missile engineers, system engineers, system analysts, marketing personnel, program managers, new employees, university professors, and others working in the area of missile systems and missile technology development. Attendees will gain an understanding of missile design, missile technologies, launch platform integration, missile system measures of merit, and the missile system development process.

Instructor
Eugene 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 200+ publications, including three textbooks. His textbooks and short courses on Missile Design, Development, and System Engineering emphasize physics-based prediction methods, for enhanced insight, speed, and accuracy to the conceptual design process. Since the year 1999 his short course has been held over 100 times in fifteen countries and five continents.
