Selected Тopics in Aircraft Аrmament Systems

The study of this course is to ensure adoption of advanced procedures and methods for problem solving related to aircraft armament. The course aim is to enable students for analysis and calculations of fire, rocket, bomber, mine and torpedo aircraft armament elements in order to obtain the best possible performance of airborne platforms and maximal action efficiency at specific application conditions of each of these types of armament. Analysis and calculation of these elements of aircraft weapons will precede the study of gunpowder and explosives as its integral parts. Students will also through course get better knowledge to the principles and functioning of the guidance and control of aircraft ordnance. Specially will be taken to the historical development of aircraft armament, and trends in the development of modern aircraft armament.

Student will obtain, through these programs, following advanced subject - specific skills: - fundamental knowledge and understanding of gunpowder and explosives - fundamental knowledge and understanding of different types of armaments and their application - fundamental knowledge and understanding of guidance and control of aircraft ordnance - calculation and analysis of aircraft weapons characteristics and their integration on aircraft trough modern scientific methods and procedures This course provides basic knowledge connectivity of mathematics, programming, mechanics, aerodynamics, flight dynamics and structures structural mechanics and their application to the design and calculation of aircraft armament and its integration.
