Computer Program Applications to Tactical Missile Conceptual Design.

Abstract

This thesis is comprised of four independent computer programs and their related operating instructions. Each of these programs focuses on a particular facet of tactical missile design. The topics covered include guidance and trajectory calculations, rocket motor propulsion sizing, warhead design, and aerodynamic coefficient determination. The programs are developed from accepted mathematical procedures and are tailored to optimize operator interaction for educational purposes.
