Advanced guidance and control

COURSE OBJECTIVES

The purpose of this subject is to provide the students with the theoretical background and
engineering applications. 1. To introduce the concepts of Navigation, guidance and control 2. To
familiarize with various ways in which aerospace vehicles are guided and controlled 3. The dynamic
objectives which students also learn to achieve by designing flight control systems. 4. Familiarize
with the control principles of rockets and missiles 5. To give Insight into the manoeuvres of the space
craft

COURSE OUTCOMES:

At the end of the course the students are able to: 1 Formulate the navigational equations of the
space vehicle 2 Describe the guidance of the vehicle with state feed back 3 Explain the automatic
control and guidance of the aircraft 4 Evaluate the control techniques of the rockets and missiles 5
Describe major manoeuvres of the space aircraft.
