Dictionary of Modern Military Technology (Hardcover)

Military technology is advancing at an unprecedented rate. We are in a period termed a "military technological cycle" in which one technological revolution follows another with bewildering rapidity. There is an ongoing debate about how new technological options should be used to evolve military policies. This handbook aims to provide an accessible guide to the new military technologies and the weapons they have spawned, and to render into standard English the jargon which is used in this field. The book is thus directed at specialists and general readers with a particular interest in this field.
