The aim of this short five day course is to deliver a broad understanding of the principles of ballistic and cruise missile flight and the technologies for those involved in Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) activities.

The course presents the fundamentals of ballistic, cruise and UAV technology with specific reference to the MTCR Equipment and Technology Annex. The course adopts a top-down systems approach and is structured so that the key technical aspects of interest form the major part. The relevance of this basic knowledge to the requirements of the MTCR will then be developed. Some practical examples of missiles in general can be viewed.
