About this Item

*Sales/posting to the USA suspended*. Card covers, xiv/194pp, b&w photos. Card covers lightly worn at edges, top free corner mildly bumped; a very good copy. Looks at how Effects-Based Operations have the potential to change the way in which the RAAF approaches targeting, requiring the RAAF to analyse and select and adversary's vulnerabilities. Such operations will require the RAAF to map targets, define their relationships to networks and determine their importance to the desired campaign plan to achieve desired effects. The book examines the practical development of targeting in terms of an effects-based approach through aerial campaigns in WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, Kosovo and Iraq. Historical and modern case studies reveal how effects-based targeting concepts were conceived and implemented, what objectives were sought, what succeeded/failed, and the lessons drawn from the experiences.
