The principle of naval weapons systems actually described are if not actually obsolete, obsolescent. This is especially true with regard to the C4I and ECM/ESM, EO, and detection systems. There is no mention of stealth, GPS, Aegis, or JTIDS. SAR and MTI sytems should have more emphasis, as does the section on digital computers. The sections presenting the basic physics that parameterize detection and weapons operation give the reader a very good introduction to the principles of operation for various general weapons systems, as well as the capabilities and limitations of a general weapons system. In short, this is a good introduction to basic physical principles that systems operate under, but an increasingly dated explanation as to the way systems operate and a very dated description of operating systems.

The Handbook of Military Industrial Engineering presents a compilation of the fundamental tools of industrial engineering techniques with a focus on military applications. Examples of the roles that industrial engineering plays in military operations can be seen in many present operational strategies of the military. Industrial engineering is well versed and appropriately positioned to create, adapt, utilize, and disseminate new knowledge and tools for direct application to military operations. The versatility of industrial engineering has been demonstrated again and again over the years. It is through the application of industrial engineering principles, tools, and techniques that many operational improvements have been achieved in many organizations. The chapters in this handbook are contributed by well-known industrial engineering authors, researchers, educators, and practitioners. The contents of the book will help military organizations to effectively evaluate operational constrai
