Guided Weapons 4th Ed

Over the past half century, guided weapons have developed faster than any other form of weapon system, and now exert a major influence on international politics, strategy and tactics. 'Guided Weapons' explains the technology and development of such systems, and their use on the battlefield against armoured vehicles, ground targets and aircraft. This new edition has been fully revised and updated to include all recent advances in the field with particular emphasis on fibre-optic guidance.

Faced with the complexity and sophistication of modern hardware, the fighting soldier needs to understand the technology to communicate his requirements to a design team. Brassey's Land Warfare Series provides concise and authoritative texts to enable the reader to understand the design implications of the technology of today and the future.
