Guidance: Principles of Guided Missile Design, Volume 1 is a comprehensive book written by Arthur S. Locke. The book is focused on providing guidance principles for designing guided missiles. It is a technical guidebook that covers the fundamental principles of missile guidance systems. The book is divided into several chapters, each covering a specific aspect of missile guidance design. The first chapter provides an introduction to guided missile systems and their components. The second chapter covers the principles of missile guidance, including the different types of guidance systems and their applications. The third chapter discusses the design of guidance systems, including the selection of guidance components, system integration, and testing. The fourth chapter delves into the principles of missile control, including the different types of control systems and their applications. The fifth chapter covers the design of control systems, including the selection of control components, system integration, and testing. The final chapter discusses the principles of missile performance, including the different factors that affect missile performance and the methods used to evaluate it. The book also includes several appendices that provide additional information on topics such as missile aerodynamics, propulsion systems, and missile guidance algorithms. Overall, Guidance: Principles of Guided Missile Design, Volume 1 is an essential resource for engineers and scientists involved in the design and development of guided missile systems. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the principles and techniques used in missile guidance design, making it an invaluable reference for anyone working in this field.In Collaboration With Charles H.
