Tactical missile technologies: The European perspective
Abstract
Technological development in chemical propulsion, jet propulsion, airframes, warheads, electromagnetic sensors, inertial sensors, and data processing are discussed in relation to their impact on tactical missile systems. Performance characteristics and areas of application of the missiles, range of the missiles ("fire and forget' concept) and penetration of defenses, including counter-countermeasures are also discussed.
