Whether you are a computer scientist or an engineer working on a large-scale simulation, you will require an in-depth knowledge of Six Degree of Freedom (6-DOF). In this course, you will gain a strong foundation in 6-DOF theory, and then you will become an expert in the real-world application of the modeling and simulation of aerspace vehicles. Understanding the application of degrees of freedom is critical to development of a system simulation. This course will deepen your expertise in missile and munitions controls system design.
