The Precision Revolution: Gps and the Future of Aerial Warfare - Hardcover

“To their credit the authors discuss the shortcomings as well as the strengths of GPS. This book should be required reading for senior officials in the defense planning, funding development, and procurement cycles.” --Rear Adm. Julian Lake, USN (Ret.), electronic warfare specialist

“Michael Rip and James Hasik have produced a sweeping survey of the technologies of precision navigation and attack and an encyclopedic account of their combat employment throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Authoritatively written, lavishly illustrated, rich in operational and technical detail, and balanced in its treatment of capabilities and limitations, their book offers a major contribution to a more informed understanding of the new and heightened role of air and space systems in modern warfare.” --Benjamin S. Lambeth, Senior staff member, RAND, and author of The Transformation of American Air Power

"An impressive compilation of how the military came to grips with the precision employment of aerospace weaponry. The authors draw on a variety of sources to tell the story in both an authoritative and entertaining fashion. Sure to be a standard reference." --Dr. Richard P. Hallion, author of Storm over Iraq
