• Semester 6, position 4

Goal of subject is to achieve competitive academic knowledge and skills in the analyzes and syntheses of the main missiles and rocket system performances. Also, goal is to realize knowledge about special missile and rocket performances, as the special flight vehicle and ballistic object, with their distinguishing features, applicable for weapon or ammunition syntheses comparing with other types of weapon and projectiles. Student or applicant developing creative capabilities, in the directed mechanical engineering, skills for the basic professional orientation of weapon design engineering. Theoretical applications and practical examples of missile, rockets diversification and integration design cases is the knowledge goal of student creative course work, as the bachelor basic knowledge of weapon designers.

Student achieve possibilities of analyzes and syntheses for the expert solutions of weapon missile and rocket systems, project, design, feasibility and other study approaches integrations.Output includes methodology and proceedings of specific research knowledge of mathematics, mechanics, propulsion , propellants and its software applications in missiles systems design. Student developing critical approach of weapon missiles system and design and possibility to employ knowledge in practical work also, in information exchanging about relevant references. Also, understand principal performances of missiles and rocket weapon systems and differences its design differences and applied different technologies and branches of research in this area.

Classification of missiles. Missile structure and airframe properties. Basic concepts of unguided missiles. Basic concepts of guided missiles. Mass and propulsion consideration in missile design. Flight performance considerations in missile design. Rocket motor design. Aerodynamic considerations in missile design. Basic analyzes of guidance laws and their influence on missile design.
