Guided Missiles - PART 1
Hav you ever wondered how militaries in world target their enemies who are hundereds of miles away from them? Use of modern weapon systerns has revolutionised the concept of warfare. Technology as a force multiplier, provides the competitive and cutting edge. The technology of guided missiles ellcompasses the r-tiultiple streams of engineering. technology and applied sciences. A number of factors are responsible for the successful launcti of missiles. 'These involve coordination of a variety of subsystems. In this series I have attempted to give a bird's-eye view of the interaction of rnany specialisations-aeronautics; mechanical, chemical arid n.letallurgical engineering; electronics; computers; chemistry, physics and mathematics. An effort has been made to familiarize the reader with some of the oft-used terminologies connected with missiles. By describing in simple terms, the underlying principles in the building and launching of missile like propulsion, guidance and contr
