Missiles provide the essential accuracy and standoff range capabilities that are of paramount importance in modern warfare. Technologies for missiles are rapidly emerging, resulting in the frequent introduction of new missile systems. The capability to meet the essential requirements for the performance, cost, risk, and launch platform integration of missile systems is driven by missile design, development, and system engineering.

World superpowers are competing in the new race to develop most effective hypersonic missiles. The question is, can hypersonic missile really hide from the increasingly sophisticated tracking surveillance technology? Is the massive investment into this technology worth the opportunity cost that could otherwise go into other pressing needs?

This 3-day course will discuss Hypersonic Missile Design and Engineering from a system-level perspective. Trainer will touch on hypersonic missile design, development, analysis and system engineering activities, highlighting the promising advantages of hypersonic missile, at the same time discussing the underlying limitation that this technology may bring.

Over 90 videos illustrate hypersonic missile development activities and performance. Problem reviews are provided at the end of each chapter. Attendees participate in a daily roundtable discussion. Attendees vote on the emphasis of the course topics.

• Drivers for Hypersonic Missile Design, Development, and System Engineering
• Conceptual Design Criteria for Hypersonic Missiles
• Hypersonic Missile Configuration Design/Sizing
• Prediction of
• Aerodynamics
• Propulsion
• Weight
• Flight Performance/Flight Trajectory
• Other Measures of Merit Sizing/Prediction, Including
• Missile Seeker Performance
• Guidance Accuracy
• Warhead Lethality
• Observables
• Cost
• System Engineering/Integration with Launch Platform and Fire Control System
• Development Process for Hypersonic Missile System and Technologies

The course is oriented toward the needs of missile engineers, system engineers, system analysts, marketing personnel, program managers, university professors, and others working in the area of missile systems and missile technology development. Attendees will gain an understanding of missile design prediction, missile technologies, launch platform integration, missile system measures of merit, and the missile system development process.
