A three-hour course on the theory and concepts of weapon systems are examined using the systems approach. Topics include: sensors and detection systems, tracking systems, computational systems, weapon delivery systems, the fire control problem, and systems integration. This course provides preliminary insight into the basic principles that lead to further development and comprehension of the technology underlying all modern weapon systems. Case studies used to illustrate and reinforce concepts introduced in the course. Note: Spring only. This course is taken at the University of Pennsylvania.
