About the Book

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. retaining clear and colorful graphics with concise captions, and open layout, simple, clear descriptions, Blue Panels to present details a reader can skip on a first reading, Sidenotes to convey caveats and reviewer comments, and a wealth of real-world examples and photographs, the book is an ideal introduction to the subject for non-specialists: engineers, technicians, pilots, aerospace industry marketing, public relations and customer support personnel. Twelve new chapters cover all the sophisticated stealth radar techniques. Over 90 per cent 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 standalone briefing on modern radar for readers who need a quick introduction.

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.
