Surveillance and target acquisition are fundamental to the successful prosecution of war. The advent of improved mobility by land and air, together with the increased lethality and range of modern weapons, can be exploited and countered only by the successful utilization of technology applied in particular to the electromagnetic spectrum. This revised volume covers the principles and applications of the technologies used to achieve the "transparent battlefield".
RFID and Sensor Network Automation in the Food Industry
by Selwyn Piramuthu and Weibiao Zhou
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a key technology in the food industry that facilitates real-time visibility of items as they move through the supply chain and on to the end-consumer. Among all the currently available automatic identification technologies, RFID has clear dominance in terms of its ability to support real-time two-way communication, data storage and update, authentication, ambient condition sense and report, batch read without direct line-of-sight, operation in harsh envir...

Signal Design for Good Correlation for Wireless Communication, Cryptography, and Radar
by Solomon W. Golomb and Guang Gong
In September 1941, a handful of isolationist senators set out to tarnish Hollywood for warmongering. The United States was largely divided on the possibility of entering the European War, yet the immigrant moguls in Hollywood were acutely aware of the conditions in Europe. After Kristallnacht (the Night of Broken Glass), the gloves came off. Warner Bros. released the first directly anti-Nazi film in 1939 with Confessions of a Nazi Spy. Other studios followed with such films as The Mortal Storm (...
New Development Model - A New Communication Policy? (European University Studies, v. 64)
by Doris Lapple-Wagenhals
After the overthrow of the Somoza regime in July 1979 a political movement assumed power in Nicaragua whose approach to development was totally different from that of the previous dictatorship. Thus the question arises, how these changes affected the country's communication system. Main emphasis in this empirical study is on mass communication. Besides the structure of the communication system and its development, its interrelations with other subsystems of society - like politics, economy, and...
