Describes the conceptual and preliminary design phases; however, reference is made to the technical approaches and computer programs required for the system development phase.

Aerodynamically stabilized free rockets offer relatively simple, reliable, small, low-cost means for delivering payloads and, when great accuracy is not required, are often the optimum systems. This handbook provides engineering design information and data for such rockets. Primarily, this handbook is intended to cover the conceptual and preliminary design phases; however, reference is made to technical approaches and computer programs required for the system development phase. The material includes operational and interface requirements as they influence the design of the total weapon system.
