Learn Missile and Rocket Simulations in C++ – Free Course

This free course from Udemy will teach you how to model missiles and rockets at high fidelities, approaching real-world scenarios with six degrees of freedom and uncertainties. You will learn the inner workings of high fidelity missile and rocket simulations, assuming prior knowledge of missile and rocket flight dynamics and control.

The course includes four prototypes: air-to-ground missile, air-to-air missile, surface-to-air missile, and surface-to-space rocket. You will need a solid foundation in aerodynamics, guidance and control, and C++ programming to benefit from this course.

**Learn about:**

* **Air-to-ground missile:** Model an air-to-ground missile with an IR seeker, explore its performance with the AGM6 simulation, plot trajectories, and create performance footprints.
* **Air-to-air missile:** Study how missiles and aircraft are modeled with different fidelities, explore the launch envelope of a self-protection missile, and examine its intercept accuracy using the AAM6 simulation.
* **Surface-to-air missile:** Learn how to launch surface-to-air missiles against incoming short-range ballistic rockets and aircraft, and run the SAM6 simulation to demonstrate the multi-object power of C++.
* **Surface-to-space rocket:** Model a three-stage solid rocket booster steered by thrust-vector control and reaction jets, and run the SSR6 simulation to determine the accuracy of orbital insertion.

**This free course will provide you with:**

* 17 lectures
* 24 exercises
* Four C++ simulations

By attending the lectures, completing the exercises, and studying the code, you can empower yourself to host your own designs in the CADAC++ framework and take them to your virtual flight test range.
