Course objectiveThis graduate level course aims a balanced introduction to the field of guidance, navigation and control of guided weapon systems. Every week a single topic will be discussed and every week a homework will be assigned. Most homeworks will involve simulation work related to the topics discussed during the lectures. Grading will be based on weekly homeworks and a final exam.
