Advanced Weaponeering

Advanced Weaponeering, Volume 2 describes some of the more complex methodologies used in JWS and includes specific techniques for dealing with particular targets such as personnel, buildings, bunkers, bridges and collateral damage concerns. In addition, some of the basic science underlying the methods is expanded including topics such as air blast, ground penetration and projectile trajectory.

For the best value, Advanced Weaponeering, 3E, Vol. 2 may also be purchased as part of a two-volume set with Weaponeering: An Introduction, 3E, Vol. 1.

Glossary

MORRIS R. DRIELS has taught engineering at universities in the United Kingdom and the United States since 1972. Since 1995, in support of the Joint Technical Coordinating Group for Munitions Effectiveness, his research has focused on various aspects of conventional weapon effects, commonly known as weaponeering. Since 2000 he has taught a graduate-level Introduction to Weaponeering class at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, and an associated short course to military and civilian audiences in the United States and overseas.
