Provides students with the skills required for analysis, design and evaluation of guidance, navigation and control systems. The certificate provides a solid engineering foundation which covers the fundamental concepts of optimal estimation methods for linear and nonlinear systems, optimal control laws for control systems, including minimum time control, minimum energy control, and linear quadratic regulator. Students will gain the skills required to analyze and design missile guidance and inertial navigation systems, ballistic missile targeting systems, and missile motion simulators.
