Description
Surveillance and target acquisition are fundamental to the successful prosecution of war. The advent of improved mobility by land and air, together with the increased lethality and range of modern weapons, can be exploited and countered only by the successful utilization of technology applied in particular to the electromagnetic spectrum. This revised volume covers the principles and applications of the technologies used to achieve the "transparent battlefield".
