Military Geodesy and Geospace Science Faculty Material

Abstract

This document provides a lecture course outline for a full-year introduction to military geodesy and geospace science. Throughout the presentation a military perspective is maintained which links mapping, charting, and geodesy (MC&G) issues with modern defense requirements. Elementary preparation is assumed in the subjects of general physics, mechanics, chemistry, astronautics, and linear system theory. The student should also be familiar with differential equations, analytic geometry, and linear algebra. Some acquaintance with vector calculus is useful but not essential. The topics covered are intended to provide conceptual rather than working knowledge. Ideally, the student completing this course will have attained a broad understanding of the MC&G field and will be able to develop specialized expertise quickly when required.
