Missile systems continue to evolve to meet specialized needs — from tactical guided missiles to longer-range strategic weapons, each designed for launch from a particular platform to reach a particular target. Defense contractors are under pressure to design and produce ever more sophisticated systems in greater quantities to meet today’s national and global security needs.

Electric motors play a vital role in missile guidance, control and other subsystems. These motors must deliver extraordinary speed, torque and precision under the most extreme conditions of shock, vibration and temperature. Learn the motor design principles that can make the difference for the success of your missile program, from design to deployment.
