DOWNLOAD EBOOK →There are many textbooks on ballistics written primarily for the specialist. However, none of these offers a simple introduction to this complex subject. This volume concentrates on the principles of ballistics, with reference to its military applications. The subject is broadly divided into its components of internal, intermediate, external and terminal ballistics. Intended for use by both army officer and scientist, some chapters are divided into two sections - the first largely qualitative while the second provides a mathematical background for further study.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Weapons systems is an engineering discipline, dealing with designing and building weapons, that aims to find solutions to operational problems that arise in all aspects of battlefield management. The development and construction of an advanced weapon system, depends on diverse technological capabilities, and especially on the systematic thinking capabilities of its designers. Systems with the best performance capabilities are the ones that are compatible with the structure of the armed forces that employ them in the battlefield. While the decision to develop new weapons systems takes into account many considerations, the main one is often the cost of the system. This book presents the challenges that accompany the initiation, development and implementation of advanced weapons systems, as well as the main technologies required for building them.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The war instinct is part of human nature, but the means to fight war depend on technology. Alex Roland traces the co-evolution of technology and warfare from the Stone Age to the age of cyberwar, describing the inventions that changed the direction of warfare throughout history: from fortified walls, the chariot, battleships, and the gunpowder revolution to bombers, rockets, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and nuclear weapons. In the twenty-first century, new technologies continue to push warfare in unexpected directions, while warfare stimulates stunning new technological advances. Yet even now, the newest and best technology cannot guarantee victory. Brimming with dramatic narratives of battles and deep insights into military psychology, this book shows that although military technologies keep changing at great speed, the principles and patterns behind them abide.
