Doctoral candidate Vivek Ahuja and graduate student Jason Cary in Auburn University’s Department of Aerospace Engineering have recently published a book on missile systems design. Their publication, “Project SENTINEL: Design of a Long-Range, High-Speed, Precision-Strike Tactical Weapon,” discusses software tools developed in Auburn’s Department of Aerospace Engineering and outlines the missile design process from basic parameters to final production review. 

“Dozens of books on missile systems design go into excruciating detail about the individual components making up the system, but few books detail the entire system for a specific application for review and reference purposes,” says Ahuja. “Our book does just that.”

Ahuja and Cary recognized a need for a practical applications book for aerospace and mechanical engineers while competing at last year’s Missile Systems Design Competition with a student team from Auburn.
