The material in this book is oriented toward the needs of aerospace engineering students, missile engineers, and missile program managers. An objective is to provide a reference text for the aerospace engineering curriculum of universities. Although the tactical missile community is large, receives a significant amount of funding, and has many technical and system problems to address, few universities offer courses in missile design. It is hoped that this introduction to tactical missiles will spark the interest of young engineers to make a career in the tactical missile community. Also, the text is a reference for missile engineers and missile program managers.
