Review
"The author has a very readable style. He is able to describe technically complex subjects in a clear and understandable way. This technique is aided immensely by the outstanding graphics...There is no book like this on the market. - Russell Lefevere, Vice President, Technology Service Corp.


Book Description
The completely rewritten and revised Second Edition updates a famous work originally published by the Hughes Aircraft Company. Much more than a simple introduction, the book is actually a history, reference, tech manual, and textbook rolled into one beautiful illustrated volume, packed with full color photos, drawings, tables and charts, plus knowledgeable, informative text. Twelve new chapters cover all the sophisticated stealth radar techniques. Over 90% of the illustrations are in color as the book describes over a dozen airborne radar systems currently in service, from long-range surveillance to environmental monitoring. The first three chapters can be used as a stand-alone briefing on modern radar for readers who need a quick introduction. Key Features: - Brilliantly illustrated full-color photographs, graphs, and figures - 12 new chapters completely update the content - Excellent for both specialists and nonspecialists
