Shamanic Self-Defence: Diagnostic and Protection

In his latest book, Missile Design Guide, Eugene Fleeman presents a comprehensive compilation of the missile design process pulling from his 50+ years of experience in the design and development of missile systems. The handbook consists of full color figures with self-standing graphs, tables, charts, and diagrams. It is aimed toward the needs of missile engineers, system engineers, system analysts, program managers, aerospace engineering students, and professors. Readers have a quick reference for missile design, missile technologies, launch platform integration, targeting, fire control integration, missile system measures of merit, and the missile system development process.Topics Discussed:✓ Key drivers in the missile design, development, and system engineering process✓ Critical tradeoffs, methods, and technologies in aerodynamic, propulsion, structure, seeker, warhead, fuzing, and subsystems sizing to meet flight performance and other requirements✓ Launch platform and fire control system integration✓ Robustness, lethality, guidance, navigation and control, accuracy, observables, survivability, safety, reliability, and cost considerations✓ Missile sizing examples✓ Missile system and missile technology development processSpecial Features:✓ Simple, closed-form, physics-based analytical expressions that provide insight into primary driving parameters✓ Example calculations of rocket-powered, ramjet-powered, and turbojet powered missiles as well as guided bombs✓ Examples of the characteristics of current missiles✓ Enabling subsystems and technologies of missiles, and the state of the art of missiles✓ Detailed appendices, including homework problems/classroom exercises and quizzes Cover Half Title Title Page Copyright Page Contents Preface Chapter 1: Introduction 1.1 Overview 1.2 Missile Characteristics Comparison 1.3
