intended for GN&C engineers, researchers, and graduate students, who are
interested in a comprehensive overview of guidance, control, and flight
dynamics of hypersonic vehicles. This course presents a variety of numerical
case study examples of hypersonic GN&C analysis, design, and simulation. The
recent advances in GN&C systems design for hypersonic aircraft/missiles, including the emerging, technically
challenging problem of intercepting hypersonic maneuvering glide vehicles, will
also be presented.

INSTRUCTOR
Bong
Wie is
Professor Emeritus of Aerospace Engineering at Iowa State University. He holds a B.S. in
aerospace engineering from Seoul National University and a M.S. and Ph.D. in
aeronautics and astronautics from Stanford University. In 2006 he received
AIAA’s Mechanics and Control of Flight Award for his innovative research on
advanced control of complex spacecraft such as solar sails, large flexible
structures, and agile imaging satellites equipped with control moment gyros. He is the author of two AIAA
textbooks: “Space Vehicle Dynamics and
Control(2nd edition, 2008)” and “Space Vehicle Guidance, Control, and Astrodynamics (2015).” He has
published 210 technical papers including 80 journal articles. He has three US patents on
singularity-avoidance steering logic of control moment gyros. In early 2010s, he was actively involved in guidance,
control, and astrodynamics research for deflecting or disrupting hazardous
near-Earth objects (NEO). From
2011-2014, he was a NIAC (NASA Advanced Innovative Concepts) Fellow for developing
an innovative solution to NASA’s NEO impact threat mitigation grand challenge
and its flight validation mission design.
His NIAC study effort has resulted in two distinct concepts for
effectively disrupting hazardous
asteroids with short warning time, called a hypervelocity asteroid intercept
vehicle (HAIV) and a multiple kinetic-energy impactor vehicle (MKIV). During
late 2010s, his research focused on further developing the ZEM/ZEV feedback
guidance strategies for robotic/human Mars precision powered descent &
landing with hazard avoidance and retargeting.
He is currently exploring a technically challenging, guidance problem of
hypersonic missiles/vehicles and an advanced guidance problem of missiles with
precision impact time and angle control (ITAC) requirements. He is co-Editor of
Astrodynamics, an international
journal established in 2018. The following on-demand short courses of Dr. Wie
are available from AIAA:
- Fundamentals of Classical Astrodynamics and Applications
- Flight Vehicle Guidance Navigation and Control Systems (GNC): Analysis and Design
- A Practical Approach to Flight Dynamics and Control of Aircraft, Missiles, and Hypersonic Vehicles
