Modern Missile Guidance
Книга Modern Missile Guidance Modern Missile GuidanceКниги Наука. Техника Автор: Rafael Yanushevsky Год издания: 2007 Формат: pdf Издат.:CRC Страниц: 240 Размер: 2,7 ISBN: 1420062263 Язык: Английский0 (голосов: 0) Оценка:Written by an expert with more than 30 years of experience, Modern Missile Guidance contains new analytical results, obtained by the author, that can be used for analysis and design of missile guidance and control systems. This book covers not just new methods nor is it merely a compilation of older methods, although it includes both. The book discusses, in a logical progression, with its clear elucidation of the guidance laws, the entire field from missile dynamics to modeling and testing missile guidance and control systems. In contrast to existing books that discuss very simple and often unrealistic guidance system models, this book presents missile guidance models that describe more precisely the dynamics of the missile flight control system, making analytical results more effective in practice. The analysis of missile guidance system models in the time-domain and in the frequency-domain allows the generation of different guidance laws that supplement each other. Taking modern, rigorous approach that leads to improved performance in missile guidance applications, the book examines new guidance laws, and corresponding algorithms for generating and testing these laws, and includes effective new software programs developed by the author.

Scud Ballistic Missile and Launch Systems 1955–2005 (New Vanguard)
Steven Zaloga, Lee Ray (Illustrator), Jim Laurier (Illustrator)
The Scud missile was developed as the centerpiece of Soviet plans to fight nuclear war in the heart of Europe. However, it was never used in its intended role and has instead become a symbol of the changing nature of warfare in the aftermath of the Cold War. Saddam Hussein's Iraqi armed forces were almost helpless in the face of the Coalition forces in the 1991 Gulf War; the only weapon that Iraq could use to injure the Coalition forces was its arsenal of Scud missiles. This book explores the development and variants of the missile and its launch systems, its proliferation outside of the West, and its role in conflicts around the world.
New Vanguard 82: V-2 Ballistic Missile 1942-52
Steven J. Zaloga, Robert Calow (Illustrator)
the German A-4 Ballistic Missile, Better Known By Its Propaganda Name Of V-2, Was The World's First Successful Ballistic Missile, Breaking Through The Atmosphere To Reach Its Target Quicker. It Was A Forerunner Of Cold War Ballistic Missiles And Its Combat Use In 1944-45 Set The Pattern For The Use Of Scud Ballistic Missiles In Recent Decades. The V-2 Offensive Lasted From September 1944 Until March 1945 With Over 3,000 Rockets Being Launched. This Book Examines The Combat Record Of The V-2 In World War Ii, With A Special Focus On How A German Missile Battalion Actually Prepared And Fired Its Missiles.
US Strategic and Defensive Missile Systems 1950-2004
Mark Berhow; Nikolai Bogdanovic(Editor); Chris Taylor(Illustrator)
for 40 Years Following The End Of World War Ii, The Western Democratic Governments And The Eastern Bloc Communist Powers Were Locked In The Ideological, Political, And Economic Struggle Of The Cold War. The United States And The Soviet Union Developed Missile Systems Capable Of Delivering Conventional And Nuclear Explosives Against Enemy Massed Bomber Formations In The Air, And Of Delivering Retaliatory Nuclear Payloads Against Ground Targets Located On Distant Continents. The Missile Systems Played Both A Defensive Role, And A Potential Offensive Role, Which Was Parlayed To The Public As Deterrence Against Attack By The Rival Bloc. This Title Provides A Detailed Overview Of The Fixed-launch-site Strategic Missile Systems Of The United States.
The United States Air Force General Histories: The Development of ballistic Missiles in the United States Air Force 1945-1960.
Jacob Neufeld; United States. Air Force. Office Of Air Force History
Following World War II, the onset of nuclear weapons, long-range jet bombers, and ballistic missiles radically changed American foreign policy and military strategy. The United States Air Force, led by men of far-sighted vision and uncommon dedication, accepted the challenge of organizing and leading a massive research and development effort to build ballistic missiles. In the quarter of the century since, these weapons have constituted one of the tree legs of the strategic triad, the basis of America's strategy of deterring nuclear war, yet they have received less attention from the public and within the Air Force than the more glamorous manned bombers of the Strategic Air Command or the missile-launching submarines of the U.S. Navy. This volume attempts to correct the imbalance by telling the story of development of Air Force ballistic Missiles. It concentrates on the first generation of ballistic missiles: the intercontinental Atlas and Titan, and the intermediate range Thor. Although the effort to develop rockets has a longer history than commonly assumed, the modern history spans the relatively short era from 1945 to 1960. During this brief interval, missiles advanced from drawing board to alert status, where the next generation now remains poised to deter war.

British and Empire Aces of World War 1
Christopher Shores; Mark Rolfe
;British and Empire Aces of World War 1 КНИГИ ;ВОЕННАЯ ИСТОРИЯ Издательство: Osprey Publishing LtdСерия: Aircraft of the Aces 45Автор(ы): Christopher ShoresЯзык: EnglishГод издания: 2004Количество страниц: 92ISBN: 1841763772Формат: pdfРазмер: 47,7 mbAt the outset of World War I the British had some 110 assorted aircraft, used mostly for the visual reconnaissance role. With the advent of faster and more agile single-seaters, the Allies and their adversaries raced to outdo each other in the creation of genuinely effective fighters with fixed forward-firing machine gun armament. It was not until 1917 that the British developed a truly effective interrupter gear, which paved the way for excellent single seaters such as the Sopwith Triplane Camel and the RAF S.E.5., later joined by the Bristol F.2B - the war's best two-seat fighter. This volume traces the rapid development of the fighter in World War I and the amazing exploits of the British and Empire aces who flew them. RAPIDили IFOLDER 0
British Fighter Units: Western Front 1917-1918 (Osprey Airwar 18)

British Fighter Units: Western Front 1917-18 КНИГИ ;ВОЕННАЯ ИСТОРИЯ British Fighter Units: Western Front 1917-18 (Aircam Airwar 18)ByAlex RevellPublisher:Os Publishing1978 48PagesISBN: 0850452929PDF4 MBOn in September 1916, Sir Douglas Halg pointed out in a letter to the War Office the urgent necessity for a very early increase in the numbers and efficiency of the fighting aeroplanes at my disposal. The success of the RFC during the battles of the Somme that year, and the services of 'incalculable value' the corps had rendered the army, had firmly established the principle of the necessity of superiority in the air for the success of future battles, but Haig cautioned that the enemy had made 'extraordinary efforts to increase the number and efficiency of their aeroplanes' and that they had 'unfortunately succeeded'. This, he warned, would result in the RFC losing its superiority in the air unless more efficient fighter aeroplanes were supplied in quantity. He enumerated the weaknesses of the RFC's existing types, comparing all but the Nieuport. F.E.2b and Sopwith Pup unfavourably with the new German fighters—'all other fighting machines at my disposal are decidedly inferior'.sharingmatrixletitbit 0
British Fortifications in Zululand 1879 (Osprey Fortress #35)
Ian Knight, Adam Hook (Illustrator)
British Fortifications in Zululand 1879 КНИГИ ;ВОЕННАЯ ИСТОРИЯ British Fortifications in Zululand 1879 (Fortress 35)ByIan Knight, Adam HookPublisher:Os Publishing2005 64PagesISBN: 1841768294PDF32 MBThroughout the Anglo-Zulu wars, the British fortified almost every position they occupied in Zululand, from permanent column depots to temporary halts on the lines of communication. This book explores the extensive fortifications constructed around posts such as Eshowe, Fort Pearson and Fort Chelmsford, as well as the lives of the garrisons who manned these sites. These forts were built to defend against infantry attacks of overwhelming numbers, as opposed to artillery bombardment or mining, and the text, illustrations and photographs describe their distinctive style and construction. Field and temporary fortifications are also covered, making this a packed and informative reference work, and bringing new life to this popular subject. About the AuthorIan Knight is widely regarded as a leading intemational expert on the Anglo-Zulu War. He has written, co-written or edited over 30 books. He studied Afro-Caribbean Studies at Kent University, and is an Honorary Research Associate of the Natal Museum and Vice President of the Anglo Zulu War Historical Society. In 2000, he was the Historian advising the Glasgow University team who made the first archaeological survey of the Isandiwana battlefield. Adam Hook studied graphic design and began his work as an illustrator in 1983. He...
