This book attempts to lay the foundation for meeting the new challenges in tactical and strategic missile guidance. The principles of both are presented in common language, notation, and perspective. The mathematics, arguments, and examples presented in the text are intended to be nonintimidating so that the designers working in the strategic world will be able to understand and appreciate the difficulty of the strategic problem and vice versa. Numerous examples are presented to illustrate all of the concepts presented in the text. In later chapters, examples are presented showing elementary ways in which tactical and strategic guidance principles can be combined. In this way the potential for a cross-fertilization of ideas, which is necessary for today's challenges in guidance technology, is increased. Software included.
