Synopsis

The primary objective of Weaponeering, Third Edition is to assist those engaged in assessing the effects of conventional weapons to understand the components, limitations and techniques needed to perform that assessment. The intent is to explain the underlying methodologies behind various weaponeering tools rather than how to use the tools themselves. This comprehensive two-volume set features 38 chapters of authoritative information that guides the reader from introductory through advanced concepts.

Weaponeering: An Introduction, 3E, Vol. 1 and Advanced Weaponeering, 3E, Vol. 2 may also be purchased individually.
