This book provides a readable technical introduction to all aspects of surface-based air defense. The audience includes people engaged in the design of air defense systems or in air vehicle survivability analysis. Subjects covered include threat characterization, air defense processes, tactical environments, gunnery, surface-air missiles, modeling and simulation, and test and evaluation. Four chapters are devoted to Surface-Air Missiles providing coverage of mass properties, propulsion, aerodynamics, guidance, control, fuzes, and warheads. Over 120 figures illustrate concepts and example component and system analysis results from sample numerical problems.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great ref. - very readable,

This review is from: Surface-Based Air Defense System Analysis (Artech House Radar Library) (Hardcover)
This is an outstanding reference for anyone looking for air defense informaiton. Very readable, well thought-out in presentation. The book is designed for Air Defence 101 level readers, but also contains material and in-sights valuable to the old-pro. Macfadzean covers airborne targets as well as AAA, RF, IR, EO air defense systems.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Surface-Based Air Defense System Analysis (Artech House Radar Library) (Hardcover)
I manage a team of modelling and simulation engineers. Much of the technology we already know about but this book covers air vehicle survivability analysis at a good technical level with lots of useful references. Essential for the library!
