Tactical Missile Design
January 12-14, 2009
Laurel, Maryland
April 13-15, 2009
Beltsville, Maryland
Summary
This three-day short course covers the fundamentals
of tactical missile design. The course provides a
system-level, integrated method for missile
aerodynamic configuration/propulsion design and
analysis. It addresses the broad
range of alternatives in meeting
cost
and
performance
requirements. The methods
presented are generally simple
closed-form
analytical
expressions that are physicsbased, to provide insight into the
primary driving parameters.
Configuration sizing examples are
presented for rocket-powered,
ramjet-powered, and turbo-jet
powered baseline missiles.
Typical values of missile
parameters and the characteristics of current
operational missiles are discussed as well as the
enabling subsystems and technologies for tactical
missiles and the current/projected state-of-the-art.
Videos illustrate missile development activities and
missile performance. Finally, each attendee will design,
build, and fly a small air powered rocket. Attendees will
vote on the relative emphasis of the material to be
presented. Attendees receive course notes as well as
the textbook, Tactical Missile Design, 2nd edition.
Instructor
Eugene L. Fleeman has more than 40 years of
government, industry, and academia
experience in missile system and
technology development. Formerly a
manager of missile programs at Georgia
Tech, Boeing, Rockwell International,
and Air Force Research Laboratory, he
is an internationally known lecturer on
missiles and the author of over seventy publications
including the AIAA textbook Tactical Missile Design.
What You Will Learn
• Key drivers in the missile design process.
• Critical tradeoffs, methods and technologies in
subsystems, aerodynamic, propulsion, and structure
sizing.
• Launch platform-missile integration.
• Robustness, lethality, accuracy, observables,
survivability, reliability, and cost considerations.
• Missile sizing examples.
• Missile development process.
Who Should Attend
The course is oriented toward the needs of missile
engineers, analysts, marketing personnel, program
managers, university professors, and others working in
the area of missile analysts, marketing personnel and
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.
