Synopsis

Understanding individual components is not enough. The real challenge is understanding how an entire air and missile defense system works together…

• Does fragmented technical information make the overall architecture difficult to understand?
• Are requirements, interfaces, and verification activities harder to connect than they should be?
• Does finding reliable explanations across multiple specialist references consume valuable study time?

Finlay Barker’s Systems Engineering for Air and Missile Defense offers a structured, visually supported reference covering architecture, radar and sensors, command and control, requirements engineering, testing, risk assessment, and lifecycle management.

Readers will discover how to:

• Master the Fundamentals — Distinguish air defense from missile defense.
• Understand System Architecture — Connect functional, logical, and physical views.
• Explore Radar Basics — Understand detection and tracking concepts.
• Compare Sensors — Examine radar, electro-optical, infrared, and passive sensing.
• Understand Command and Control — Explore coordinated system functions.
• Follow Information Flows — Understand communications and interoperability.
• Develop Better Requirements — Write measurable, verifiable statements.
• Build Traceability — Connect requirements to design and test evidence.
• Manage Interfaces — Recognize dependencies and integration risks.
• Plan System Integration — Compare integration strategies.
• Clarify Verification and Validation — Understand their distinct purposes.
• Structure Test Plans — Organize test evidence and acceptance criteria.
• Assess Technical Risk — Use risk registers and mitigation frameworks.
• Evaluate Trade-Offs — Compare cost, performance, schedule, and uncertainty.
• Understand Lifecycle Management — Connect engineering decisions across system development and sustainment.

Whether a reader is new to the discipline or already has engineering experience, the book emphasizes progressive explanations, conceptual examples, diagrams, comparison tables, checklists, and reusable learning frameworks. It prioritizes clarity without promising to replace advanced textbooks, official doctrine, or specialized training.
