Principles of Naval Weapons Systems
Principles of Naval Weapons Systems on CD
The complete description of a weapons system must include all of the means of exchanging information between sub-systems, called communication systems; all means used to locate the target, called sensors; all means used to store, launch and deliver the weapon to the target, called delivery sub-systems; and all means used to inflict damage upon the target, called destruction sub-systems.
In this book, we will discuss how the various sub-systems function. The goal is to understand the principles of operation of many different weapons systems. It is expected that the reader will supplement this material with one of the many fine books describing the arsenal of weapons currently in use by the major militaries of the world.
Works with Windows, Mac, Unix, Linux and others.
