Book Description

December 17, 2003
About Signal Chase ByJames D. Taylor I wrote Signal Chase to show the practical implications of my two books: Introduction to Ultra-wideband Radar Systems and Ultra-wideband Radar Technology. What would happen if a foreign power developed effective counter stealth radar? Military officers know this violates several landmark principles. First, America will have air supremacy. Second, the attacker usually wins, so bet on the bullet instead of the armor.  Third, bydefinition, stealth means no sensor system can detect a military target, such as an aircraft, tank, cruise missile or ship, at least long enough to win immediately. Fourth, asking the wrong questions may endanger your professional growth, so don't think outside the box. To answer this question, I mixed defense politics, geopolitical danger, a short fuse, imminent war, patriotism and international conspiracy. Colonel Red Bannerman and Major Ardis Moore must find a radar system designed to detect stealth aircraft, but not be detectable by the other side, i.e. a stealthy radar. Bannerman, Moore and General Suvorov typify the thinking patriots who work in the background to keep their countries free. I give the reader a subtle education in high technology through a tight mystery story. Red Bannerman takes the reader inside a humanistic engineers mind.

About the Author

James D. Taylor James D. Taylor learned creative writing by preparingmilitary officer evaluations, concept papers, and justifying research programs. After graduating from theVirginia Military Institute in 1963 as an electrical engineer, he embarked on a twenty-eight year career as an army and air force officer. Advanced professional studies, a Master’s Degree, and his broad scientific knowledge led to staff assignments in defense technology planning. Retiring in 1991 with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, USAF, he published Introduction to Ultra-wideband Radar Systems and Ultra-wideband Radar Technology with CRC Press. He taught ultra-wideband radar classes in America, Scotland, Italy, and Russia. His military history and geopolitical avocations inspired Signal Chase. For relaxation, he studies foreign languages and competes in cowboy action shooting sports. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
