While most Americans know that these technological wonders are being used, having viewed images of pinpoint accuracy on television, few understand how the weapons work. In this very readable explanation, Michal Rip and James M. Hasik not only clarify the complex technology behind these modern marvels, but also chronicle their use and elaborate on the promise and the pitfalls they offer. Spine is slightly cocked. Full refund if not satisfied.

Annapolis, Maryland: Naval Institute Press, Date: 2002. First Edition. First printing [stated]. Hardcover. Very good. xvi, 552, [8] pages. Illustrations. Maps. Notes. Glossary. Index. Excerpt from a review by David Zimmerman posted on-line: "The Precision Revolution examines the development of the global positioning system and its integration into the latest generation of precise weapons systems. The authors, Michael Rip and James Hasik, see GPS as being central to the current revolution in military affairs. They begin with a brief history of military air and space navigation, followed by an examination of the development in the 1970s and 1980s of the Navstar Global Positioning System and its Russian Glonass equivalent. They then describe the use of GPS-guided weapons in the Persian Gulf War, and follow with a detailed technical history of the development of GPS-guided weapons and accounts of their use in smaller military actions throughout the next decade, from Libya to Serbia. They conclude with a postscript relating the terrorist attack on New York and Washington in September 2001. The Global Positioning System (GPS), also known as Navstar, is a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) that provides location and time information in all weather conditions, anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. The GPS system operates independently of any telephonic or internet reception, though these technologies can ...
