Missile Guidance and Control Systems [Paperback]

Airborne Vehicle Guidance and Control Systems is a broad and wide-angled engineering and technological area for research, and continuesto be important not only in military defense systems but also inindustrial process control and in commercial transportation networkssuch as various Global Positioning Systems (GPS). The book fills along-standing gap in the literature. The author is retired from theAir Force Institute and received the Air Force's Outstanding CivilianCareer Service Award.Airborne Vehicle Guidance and Control Systems is a broad and wide-angled engineering and technological area for research, and continuesto be important not only in military defense systems but also inindustrial process control and in commercial transportation networkssuch as various Global Positioning Systems (GPS).
