Widely acknowledged as the only book to offer a complete overview of modern airborne radar principles of the last 15-20 years, this book will be a hugely beneficial reference text for a vast number of radar enthusiasts.
The renowned 2nd edition (1998) authored by the late George W Stimson has been recognised as the best-selling book of its kind and his name has become synonymous with airborne radar among the radar community.
This 3rd edition has been written by a leading team of highly respected international radar experts including Hugh Griffiths, Chris Baker and Dave Adamy.
Hugh Griffiths (THALES/Royal Academy of Engineering Chair of RF Sensors at University College London) explains, "We are hugely committed to maintaining the excellence of the previous editions and ensuring that the true spirit of George W Stimson is retained, demonstrated in the clearly explained writing style and high quality supporting visuals."
Stimson’s Introduction to Airborne Radar, 3rd Edition has been completely modernised to include a higher degree of routine adopting of electronic scanning and high resolution imaging, together with a much greater use of digital technology.
