Test and Evaluation of the Tactical Missile (Progress in Astronautics and Aeronautics) [Hardcover]

Emil J. Eichblatt (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1989 | ISBN-10: 0930403568 | ISBN-13: 978-0930403560

Eichblatt has distilled his 25 years of practical experience and wisdom into this much-needed guidebook to test and evaluation of tactical missiles. With this book in hand the reader can determine whether the weapon meets its requirements, how well it functions operationally, and whether or not it should continue into production.

This readable text is amply supplemented by hundreds of tables and diagrams. Also included are useful appendices on proportional navigation, Laplace transforms, Doppler, and radome refraction.

This review is from: Test and Evaluation of the Tactical Missile (Progress in Astronautics and Aeronautics) (Hardcover)

Highly recommended for all technical personnel from missile design engineers to launch site experts. This book is one of the rare technical publications which goes beyond the theory-practice-result chain and provides extremely useful direct engineering know-how at each step of the entire discussion. The editor did a truly great job in compiling different aspects of tactical missile testing effort including statistical target-hit analysis, kinematic uncertainties and in-flight data collection. Together with 'Conventional Warhead Systems Physics and Engineering Design' it should be an integral part of the library of every aerospace/weapons systems engineer who would like to gain technical insight into the design/test methodology of the airborne weapons engineering in the pre-DEPW (directed energy/pulse weapons) period.
