Proforce 44140 Us Army Weapons Systems 2009

From the Aerial Common Sensor to the XM320 grenade launcher, this comprehensive guide profiles nearly every tool currently in use by the U.S. Army. In addition, it covers cutting-edge tech that will soon be employed by our soldiers: missiles, small arms, biological detection systems, rockets, reconnaissance systems, radios, planes, bows and arrows (believe it or not) . . . you name it, this book has it. Also included is a thorough discussion of Future Combat Systems (FCS), the system of systems that, when fully operational, will provide the Army and joint forces with unprecedented capability to see the enemy, engage him on our terms, and defeat him on the twenty-first century battlefield. Full-color photographs illustrate each tool, making this the most comprehensive and up-to-date resource of its kind.
