It is the only book of its type to explain the transformation of the U.S. Navy into a network-centric force  a transformation that has had immense consequences for choices of tactics  weapons  services  and the systems coordinating them. This guide also offers unparalleled coverage of the weapons  sensors  and command systems of the worlds navies  both those the U.S. Navy works with and those it may have to fight.  Written by one of the worlds leading naval analysts  the book describes the weapons and systems in detail and examines the crucial relationship between them. Completely rewritten and newly illustrated  this edition makes a special effort to provide a clear and precise account of how weapon technology has changed to meet the new tactical and strategic challenges facing international naval forces today. Cutting-edge information is found throughout  enhanced by many new and rarely seen photographs and drawings. For example  this volume offers an unusually full account of the \"system of systems\" under development by the U.S. Navy and the other services to fight future limited regional wars. That initiative includes the changing role of space resources as they affect war on  over  and under the sea. This edition also benefits from the flood of material from Russia  whose weapons and systems are now owned and operated by numerous countries and are likely to be sold to many more.  The guide provides uniquely detailed coverage of weapons developed and deployed in the Far East  an area that promises to be the liveliest scene of naval action in the future. Extensive sections are devoted to explaining the intricate workings of sensors and command systems. No other book  or even set of books  offers this sort of material in such accessible form. Its detail and completeness are backed by the authority of a long-established professional expert. For the most complete and up-to-date information about weapons in every navy in the world  this is the essential resource--a work that  in effect  can serve as a textbook of modern naval technology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666317795381,"sku":"ByrdShop_1557502625","price":331.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781557502629.jpg?v=1782427954","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/naval-institute-guide-to-world-naval-weapon-system-fifth-edition-9781557502629","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
