A presentation of the various mathematical methods used in military operations research. It provides the calculations necessary for analyzing all aspects of defence operations, from weapon performance to combat modelling. Included is an updated version of Defense Analyses Software.

Designed to be used as a graduate student textbook and a ready reference for the busy professional, this third edition of "Orbital Mechanics is structured so that you can easily look up the things you need to know. This edition includes more recent developments in space exploration (e.g. Galileo, Cassini, Mars Odyssey missions). Also, the chapter on space debris was rewritten to reflect new developments in that area. The well-organized chapters cover every basic aspect of orbital mechanics, from celestial relationships to the problems of space debris. The book is clearly written in language...

The second edition of this text continues to fulfil the book's original goal in linking and integrating many disciplines relevant to the field of space systems engineering. It contains an additional chapter on reliability analysis, new technical material and numerous homework problems.

Second edition, still the only text of its kind and required reading for anyone involved in design of air combat vehicles. Aircraft combat survivability is now an established design discipline for U.S. military aircraft. More importantly survivability is now an essential part of the U.S. Department of Defence acquisition process. Furthermore, improving public health, safety, and survivability is now woven throughout the civil and commercial sector. From infant car seats to the design of aircraft cargo bay structures that can withstand internal bomb blasts, the US Government is establishing...

unique in its breadth of coverage performance, stability and control, and aerosystems all discussed a companion and complementary text to Padfield: Helicopter Flight Dynamics both authors from Empire Test Pilots' School, well known as a centre for test pilot training.

Designed for aerospace engineering students, government agencies responsible for certifying military and civilian aircraft, and individuals involved in aircraft accident investigation and consulting, Aircraft Performance provides a comprehensive and useful approach to aircraft performance issues. In addition to covering the broad area of performance, the book also examines specialized subjects such as the Ground Proximity Warning System and ice formation on the aircraft while on the ground or in flight. Capt. Asselin's veteran analysis and clear explanation of aircraft performance issues have...

This text aims to lead students and engineers from the initial concepts of landing gear design through to the final detail design. It provides a link in landing gear technology from historical practices to modern design trends, also considering the necessary airfield interface with gear design.
