Publisher's Synopsis
Unlike wars past, the armed conflicts of the 21st century will see innovative use of computers, satellite imagery, and weapons such as Tomahawk cruise missiles, and nuclear-powered aircraft of all stripes. On the air, in the sea, or on the ground, wars will be fought with the XMS Electronic Fighting Vehicle; the RAH-66 "Comanche" Attack Helicopter, the Bradley Stinger Air Defense Vehicle, and Harpoon anti-ship missiles. There will be bigger and more innovative sea-going crafts, such as the CVN-77 and CVX-78, 21st century aircraft carriers. The Future of War will explore in painstaking detail the ways science, technology and innovation will provide a tactical advantage over our enemies that will lead us to victory on the battlefields.
