Synopsis
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 percent 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.
