Introduction to tactical missiles
This course will provide learners with an overview of tactical missile systems (technical solutions employed and performance capabilities).
The course lasts 5 days (30 hours) and includes:
- Lectures
- Video projections
The theme of this introductory course is to present the main functions/roles involved in the design of tactical missiles and to give an overview of the concept of weapon systems. The priority is to emphasize the description and physical understanding of issues by minimizing mathematical developments.
This course is intended for military or civilian personnel involved in the use or study of tactical missile systems or concerned with some of the functions involved in the design of a tactical missile system and who wish to have an overview .
Course level: Basic
Engineers or senior technicians with general scientific training. A further development course for engineers already initiated in existent missiles (see course AED 033).
