This book is an excellent reference for those profesionals or specialists who are involved in the Electronic Warfare (EW) world. It's also useful for those who want to learn more about this interesting, complex and important subject. As it can be demonstrated thru the history of the EW, it has played an important role in the military actions related with the use of the electromagnetic spectrum (communications, radar, Infrared, laser and more). I strongly recommend it.

EW101 is a compilation of articles published in the Journal of Electronic Defence, over several years. The level of treatment is semiquantitative. The basic methods in areas like jamming, decoys and simulations are expounded. Readers with an undergraduate background in engineering or science should be able to follow the text. People already in the Electronic Warfare field will find the discussion pretty elementary. But Adamy is writing for those outside the field.

The merit of this book is that it gives you familiarity with the key topics and ideas in EW. Enough to qualitatively follow a technical discussion. Or even perhaps, as the author suggests, for managers of EW engineers, who need to brush up on what their chaps are doing.

Adamy also usefully supplies references to more detailed texts and journals. There is a surprising amount of material out there that is declassified.

This book is the perfect introduction. The book starts from the beginning and works from a novice perspective to more complex subjects. This text is perfect to develop an understanding of Electronic Warfare.
I have used this text to give me the fundamentals that are missing in some of the other texts. I would highly recommend this book.

Working with AF engineers, I have noticed this on more bookshelves than I could count. I had to know what was so great about this book - its utility is in the clarity of instruction. Equations about link budgets, descriptions about EW, and the diagrams showing uses make this book worth the cost. If your book budget allows, EW 102 is a great addition as well.

I bought these book for a very cheap price which was even below the price of second hand book price at some sites and also at my college. So I say that I had a gr8 deal
Thank you amazon.

The author has the ability to turn complex issues into simple concepts. It's very useful for those giving first steps in this subject and those who need refreshing their knowledge. I strongly recommend it.

This book is very easy to read and understand by not getting into all the same details. Suitable for those who wants an overview of EW but not going too deep into the topic.
