"Six Degree of Freedom (DOF): Simulation And Missile Guidance Control" offers an in depth study of missile/munition controls system design and the models and algorithms associated with the development of a six degree of freedom simulation.

Topics Include:

• Aerodynamics
• Coordinate frames
• Euler angles and rates
• Propagation of coordinate frames
• Quaternions and their propagation
• The rigid body equations of motion
• Actuators
• Thrust models
• Rate and acceleration sensors
• Target models
• Seekers and the track loop
• Basics of control systems using classical techniques
• Development of the missile airframe transfer functions
• Missile guidance
• Autopilots
• System integration

Prerequisites:
Undergraduate degree in engineering or a related field or equivalent experience.
