The Automobile  'Crammed with information, original photographs, illustrations and drawings, we reckon it's an essential addition to any military vehicle enthusiast's reference library.' Classic Military Vehicle  Regarded as one of the great automotive engineers of the twentieth century, Ferdinand Porsche is well remembered today for his remarkable automotive designs including the Volkswagen Beetle and Auto Union Grand Prix cars. Yet there is another side to his extraordinary career, for he was an equally inventive designer of military vehicles and machinery. In this field too he excelled. Indeed the sheer versatility of his contribution is astonishing. Karl Ludvigsen's study is the definitive guide.  Karl Ludvigsen tells the complete story, detailing Porsche's relations with the Third Reich and the stream of advanced designs for which he was responsible. Among them were the Kubelwagen, the Schwimmwagen, the Type 100 Leopard tank, the controversial Ferdinand tank destroyer and the colossal Type 205 'Maus' tank. He also describes Porsche's creative work on aero engines, tank engines and even his company's manufacture of the V-1 flying bomb, for which he designed a turbojet engine.","brand":"Pen \u0026 Sword Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48739967533399,"sku":"9781526726797","price":15.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526726797.jpg?v=1720053548"},{"product_id":"ew-101-a-first-course-in-electronic-warfare-9781580531696","title":"EW 101: A First Course in Electronic Warfare","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEW 101 has been a popular column in the Journal of Electronic Defense for a number of years.

This extensively revised and expanded edition of an Artech House bestseller delivers the most up-to-date overview of electronic defense systems. Bringing practitioners up-to-speed with the latest technological advances, the Third Edition details a completely new method of implementing these modern systems. Moreover, this edition is packed with updated illustrations of key assets, including aircraft, ships, and radars.  Readers get a solid understanding of how sophisticated electronic warfare weapon systems work, and how these weapons can be intercepted and electronically jammed. From search and tracking radar, IR systems, and communication systems… to electronic intercept systems, countermeasures, and counter-countermeasures, the book explores a broad spectrum of defense equipment. It explains how these systems operate, the advantages and drawbacks of each system, and the theories on which these systems are based. This authoritative resource includes 180 illustrations and 400 equations that support key topics throughout the book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first edition of the classic, Introduction to Electronic Defense Systems, was published in 1991, the second in 2006 and this, the 3rd, in 2018, thus clearly demonstrating the point author Filippo Neri makes about the increasing pace and impressive evolution of such technologies. The 3rd edition continues the pattern established in the earlier editions with the initial chapter providing an expanded overview of electronic defense systems and new concepts, threats and opportunities including cyber and Cyber Electromagnetic Activities. As such these 36 pages provide the context to understand the technological issues in the remaining 7 Chapters. Not unexpectedly, these are sometimes necessarily brief introductions to complex issues. However, besides providing context for what follows, they serve to whet the appetite of the reader and encourage further study. The up-to-date and comprehensive references complement this process well. The chapter running order is Electronic Defense; Sensors; Weapon Systems; Electronic Intercept Systems, Electronic Countermeasure Systems; Electronic Counter-Countermeasure Systems; New Electronic Defense Techniques and Technologies, and Design and Evaluation Criteria. The author notes that formulas and mathematical theory have been reduced to a minimum; that may well have been the intent but the 3rd edition includes 180 illustrations and around 400 equations! The book remains very readable throughout, with excellent diagrams and explanations of everything covered by a true master in the field and a great communicator. As mentioned, the structure of the 3rd edition follows that of the 2nd edition with additional material on new concepts and materials e.g. Artificial Intelligence and Gallium Nitride, to name just two. The 3rd edition is an evolution of the early editions and that makes perfect sense. The new edition is primarily aimed at those who are entering the world of Electronic Systems (Electronic Warfare, Signals Intelligence, CEMA, ISR, Navigation and NAVWAR, etc.) in a technical sense and deserves a place in everyone's personal library and in the industry. Given the accelerating pace of innovation, global threats and opportunities, there is likely to be an increasing audience for this book and others like it, covering warfare in the Electromagnetic manoeuvre warfare space, or EME \/ EM Domain. As the name implies, the book uses US terminology which diverged from NATO terminology some 25 years ago, but remained broadly comparable. However that changed very significantly in 2007 when the NATO Military Committee signed off a document on the future transformation of NATO Electronic Warfare (MCM-0142 27 Nov 2007); the major thrust of the new policy and concept was to recognise the Electromagnetic Environment (EME) as an operational environment or domain like all the others (Land, Air Maritime, etc) where the full range of manoeuvre activities - offence, defence, shaping, exploitation, management, etc. – take place. Provided the non-US NATO, and potentially other, reader understands this, Introduction to Electronic Defense Systems is an invaluable and outstanding guide and technical handbook. It is an ideal introduction for those who are starting in the field as system designers; to users and potential users, and to all concerned now or in the next decade in the procurement of such systems. These are exactly the target audiences identified in the Author's Preface. The author concludes the Preface with a wish that readers will find the book useful. I have no doubt that readers will in fact find the book invaluable and essential reading to help them for many years in making progress in their chosen careers. -- John Clifford * Wing Commander OBE MBCS CEng CITP RAF (Retd) *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElectronic Defense.

in February 1904. Japan struck the first blow with a surprise naval attack against the anchored Russian Pacific Fleet at its base in Port Arthur. Once the fleet had been neutralized, the Japanese landed their Second Army on the Liaotung Peninsula in May 1904, in order to besiege Port Arthur. The fighting that followed has become legend in military history. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRespected military historian Robert Forczyk describes the Russian relief operation towards Port Arthur (the Battle of Telissu), and the lengthy siege of the Russian-held town and harbour.

Technical aspects of the weapon are also discussed, including its EDZ reactive armour which, when it first appeared in December 1984, gave NATO a nasty shock.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesign and Development · Foreign T-72 Development · Inside the T-72M1 · Operational Use · T-72 Variants","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48868809802071,"sku":"9781855323384","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"uss-saratoga-cv3-9780764300899","title":"USS Saratoga CV3","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Schiffer Publishing Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48884401373527,"sku":"9780764300899","price":33.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780764300899.jpg?v=1722531796"},{"product_id":"united-states-naval-vessels-9780764300905","title":"United States Naval Vessels","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Schiffer Publishing Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48884401439063,"sku":"9780764300905","price":58.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780764300905.jpg?v=1722531798"},{"product_id":"german-heavy-halftracked-prime-movers-9780764301674","title":"German Heavy HalfTracked Prime Movers","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Schiffer Publishing Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48884402848087,"sku":"9780764301674","price":9.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780764301674.jpg?v=1722531808"},{"product_id":"german-artillery-18641910-9780764301797","title":"German Artillery 18641910","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Schiffer Publishing Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48884402913623,"sku":"9780764301797","price":9.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780764301797.jpg?v=1722531808"},{"product_id":"last-hope-the-blood-chit-story-schiffer-military-history-book-9780764302220","title":"LAST HOPE The Blood Chit Story Schiffer Military","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Schiffer Publishing Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48884404027735,"sku":"9780764302220","price":41.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780764302220.jpg?v=1722531812"},{"product_id":"german-light-halftracked-prime-movers-19341945-9780764302626","title":"German Light HalfTracked Prime Movers 19341945","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Schiffer Publishing Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48884404781399,"sku":"9780764302626","price":9.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780764302626.jpg?v=1722531816"},{"product_id":"german-medium-halftracked-prime-movers-19341945-9780764302633","title":"German Medium HalfTracked Prime Movers 19341945","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Schiffer Publishing Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48884404846935,"sku":"9780764302633","price":9.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780764302633.jpg?v=1722531816"},{"product_id":"captured-french-tanks-under-the-german-flag-9780764302657","title":"Captured French Tanks under the German Flag","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Schiffer Publishing Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48884404912471,"sku":"9780764302657","price":9.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780764302657.jpg?v=1722531817"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/collections\/military-engineering.oembed?page=44","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
