This is the first book written that discusses the physics of designing warheads against ballistic missiles. In his exploration of the mathematical equations and logic behind antiballistic missiles (ATBMs) warhead design, Lloyd takes an in-depth look at warhead design and endgame concepts against ATBMs. Hailed as the perfect companion to Tactical Missile Warheads, the book demonstrates the system aspects you will need as a systems warhead engineer designing complex tactical and defense warheads under tight budgetary ...

This is the first book written that discusses the physics of designing warheads against ballistic missiles. In his exploration of the mathematical equations and logic behind antiballistic missiles (ATBMs) warhead design, Lloyd takes an in-depth look at warhead design and endgame concepts against ATBMs. Hailed as the perfect companion to Tactical Missile Warheads, the book demonstrates the system aspects you will need as a systems warhead engineer designing complex tactical and defense warheads under tight budgetary constraints. Conventional Warhead Systems Physics and Engineering Design features a previously unpublished investigation of energy, momentum, and methods for estimating damage on very complex ballistic missile payloads, such as submunitions of chemical and biological nature. Direct hit, warhead design, and fragmentation are comprehensively discussed for the first time in print. High strain rate, explosives, thermodynamics, heat transfer, chemistry, penetration mechanics, statistics, dynamics, and finite element equations are also covered extensively in this single, compact volume. The book contains over 2000 mathematical equations with more than 500 figures that give todays warhead engineers new ideas and knowledge in warhead design.
