• Weapon Systems, Semester 2, position 3

Acquiring basic knowledge in the field of missile guidance and control with the possibility of applications in the fields of research and development, designing, manufacturing, marketing, operational use and analysis of modern guided missiles. Mastering the methodology of the calculations of dynamic characteristics of guided missiles (maneuverability, stability, etc. The eigen frequencies.) and autopilot synthesis and guidance law for the method of proportional navigation.

The student acquires general knowledge in the areas of analysis and synthesis system of guided missiles that enables participation and communication in work teams involved in the development of guided missiles. With the use of modern software tools developed in MATLAB and Simulink, are qualified for the trajectory calculation of guided missiles, aerodynamic transfer function calculation and the synthesis of the autopilot and the missile guidance system. It has a basic knowledge of verification and assessment of the quality of guidance system.

Introduction to the theory of guidance and control of the missiles (discusses the basic principles of guidance and control). Analysis of dynamic characteristics of missiles and calculation of aerodynamic transfer functions. Basic requirements and methods of designing autopilots (Block is dedicated to improving the dynamic properties of rockets by autopilot use). Theoretical basis of proportional navigation (We examine the proportional navigation as one of the fundamental laws of guidance)

The practical realization of guided missiles (analyzed various construction solutions of guided missiles to review the role of guidance and control subsystem. The application of MATLAB and Simulink in design). Designing pitch and roll autopilots. Simulation homing systems (applying SIMULINK program, students are trained in the selection parameters PN). The project of the system of homing missile (Project includes aerodynamic function transfer calculations and synthesis of the autopilot and homing system)

None. Passed exams (preferably): flight dynamics and aerodynamics of projectiles, Fundamentals of automatic control
