Stimson's Introduction to Airborne Radar (3^rd Ed.)

Summer 2014 marks the launch of the eagerly anticipated research book to hit the radar community. Greatly expanded from the best-selling second edition by George W.Stimson, Stimson’s Introduction to Airborne Radar, 3rd edition provides a complete overview of the major developments in air and space borne radars in line with advances in modern technology. For the past 15 years, the near-legendary 2nd edition (1998) has been recognised as the best-selling book of its kind and widely acknowledged as “the first radar book anybody should own” and this 3rd revision of the classic book is set to be no different. In this 3rd edition, the true spirit of George W. Stimson lives on throughout the book as the extensive team of highly respected radar editors, authors and experts world-wide are hugely committed to maintaining the excellence of the previous edition and honouring the mantra of “simplicity is best.” Stimson was incredibly skilled at explaining complex technical concepts and this is demonstrated in the overall look and feel of the new book in the straight forward and clearly explained writing style and array of unique high quality supporting visuals.

Stimson’s Introduction to Airborne Radar, 3rd Edition has been completely modernised to include a higher degree of routine adopting of electronic scanning and high resolution imaging, together with a much greater use of digital technology. All core radar principles are presented, yet the confusing jargon and complicated math found in most other radar textbooks has been totally stripped out meaning that you don’t have to be technically minded to benefit from this book. However there is also sufficient technical depth, mathematical rigor and sound physical understanding of virtually all of the advanced radar techniques to satisfy the appetite of the more advanced radar enthusiasts.
