Missile Systems Engineering 2010

Missiles are indispensible in modern warfare, as it provides military with the ability to attack
and defend from long distances. Due to its importance, militaries are constantly looking for new
development for missile systems and technologies.
The performance of missile is heavily dependent on the design and its systems integration.
Therefore, when it comes to designing a missile, engineers have to maintain a good balance
between requirements and performance. Each missile is heavily driven by these six
components, namely, size, drive, type, guidance systems, warhead, and its design.
Engineers have to possess sufficient knowledge on these influencing components in order to
acquire or develop missile systems
