Provides "easy and straightforward explanations on the most recent developments in the electronic defence field, from stealth technology to decoys, from electronic support measures (ESM) to advanced jamming techniques. In particular the principles underlying low probability of intercept threats, passive location techniques, the benefits of advanced digital receivers, towed decoy jammers, new cross-eye jamming self-protection techniques, and high-power microwave weapons are illustrated in very simple terms." (from foreword by Major General Pietro Finocchio, Italian Air Force). There are sections on electronic defense, sensors, weapon systems, intercept systems, electronic countermeasures (ECM), electronic counter countermeasures, new techniques and technologies, and design and evaluation criteria.
