Weapon Systems Engineering

A guided curriculum in the engineering of modern weapon systems.

Roadmap

The shape of the curriculum

Eighteen domains in four layers — from the landscape of modern weapons, through the engineering disciplines that shape them, to the organizations that build and field them. Lessons are published domain by domain; published domains are marked below.
