On successful completion of this module a student should be able to:
- Critically analyse and apply the engineering principles involved in matching elements of the vehicle, weapon and electronic system together
- Synthesise concepts for vehicle, Electronic measure, counter measure and weapon systems, taking into account incomplete and possibly conflicting user requirements
- Construct proposed solutions by applying Solid Modelling tools and techniques
- Interpret relevant legislation and standards and assess their relevance to vehicle, EW and weapon systems
- Work effectively in a team, communicate and make decisions
