I own a copy of Paul Zarchan's 'Tactial and Strategic Missile Guidance: An Introduction'. The maths is probably beyond me at this stage but I was always interested in how guided missiles actually work.
- philipkglass 3y agoIf you're also curious about how guided missiles do their business after arriving at the target, I found this an interesting read: "Tactical Missile Warheads" by Joseph Carleone https://arc.aiaa.org/doi/book/10.2514/4.470677 https://arc.aiaa.org/doi/book/10.2514/4.470677 It's available via Library Genesis if you don't want to make an interlibrary loan request.

- philipkglass 3y agoI stumbled across it while looking up flash radiography for nuclear weapons :-)
- jazzyjackson 3y agoThere's some awesome youtube videos that teardown guided missiles to identify what goes into them, one i watched was packed with fpga chips, ah, a Javelin: https://youtu.be/11_5TB0-lNw https://youtu.be/11_5TB0-lNw I wasn't even looking for it I think it got recommended because I like videos about Apollo and Soyez, same thing essentially :D
