“This book explains in clear and understandable language, with the aid of artwork and the latest photographs, just how modern military technology works. From a ring laser gyroscope to strategic inter-continental ballistic missiles.
It analyses the technology behind the latest generation of weapons in detail and goes on to show how they are used operationaly.  And it looks ahead to see the shape and the devastating potential of the next generation of weapon systems.  Scientists and soldiers today talk about ‘ET’ – emerging technology, which means harnessing the powers of the microchip to make today’s ‘smart’ weapons into the ‘brilliant’ weapons of tomorrow.”
