The Missile Defense Equation (Library Of Flight)

Mantle, a 30-year veteran of the US defense business and former chair of a NATO missile defense advisory group that examined missile defense alternatives, develops a method to help decision makers at all levels in the defense industry, from elected officials to engineering managers, make early decisions so that missile development and acquisition can proceed properly. To add a sense of realism to the management decision-making methods developed in this book, data on a variety of missile defense systems have been used where appropriate to indicate general trends in all of the key parameters.
