Guided Weapons Systems - ZEIT4210 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Description This course provides a cross-disciplinary study of guided weapon systems, focussing on implications for electrical engineers. It commences with an overview of the guided weapon itself: airframe, steering method, propulsion, fusing and warhead. This is followed by an analysis of a range of guidance principles, including semi-active laser homing, infrared homing, command guidance, beam riding, GPS/INS and man-in-the-loop. This is followed by a detailed study of radar in the context of radar command guidance, active radar homing, semi-active radar homing and anti-radar homing. The course concludes by examining platform-weapon integration.
