Summary: An eye-opening book
Comment: Rip and Hasik have created an in-depth look at the evolution of not just our current Military, but its role in a post Cold War era. Anyone who is serious about understanding how war and our military has worked, or will continue to in the 21st century, will want to read this.
Rating: 5
Summary: A Must Read
Comment: This is the finest work on military technology it has ever been my pleasure to read. The authors have clearly articulated the implications of integrated systems of information technology and precision navigation emerging in the arsenals of today.
Two sections of this book are particularly instructive. The chapter on the history of military navigation sets the table for the remaining topics. It also answers the question, "What is so important about navigation, anyway?" The chapter on future policy implications reveals how precision is not a panacea - but an effective tool for specific tasks.
This book should be read by everyone interested and/or involved with military operations, aquisition, logistics, and strategy.
Rating: 5
Summary: Definitive work on the art & science of precision warfare
Comment: Mr. Hasik and Mr. Rip have written the finest unclassified work on how GPS and inertial guidance (with their supporting technologies) have revolutionized warfare. Although the underlying math is explained in excruiciating detail (for a liberal arts major), it is more than compensated for by outstanding case studies. As a professional military officer with service in the US Army and Air Force, I found this book to be required reading for those in the profession of arms or those who seek a greater undrestanding of the basis of the United States' current military dominance.
