"Military Technology and Equipment Technology is not just the study of various technologies and applicable physical sciences used to increase military power. It may also extend to the study of production methods of military equipment, and ways to improve performance and reduce material and/or technological requirements for its production. Military technology is unique only in its application, not in its use of basic scientific and technological achievements. Because of the uniqueness of use, military technological studies strive to incorporate evolutionary,  as well as the rare revolutionary technologies into their proper place of military application. Military strategy is in many ways the centerpiece of military science. It studies the specifics of combat, and attempts to reduce the many factors to a set of principles that govern all interactions of the field of battle. As such, it directs the planning and execution of battles, operations, and wars as a whole.

This book entitled "Military Technology and Equipment Technology" is a valuable addition to the existing literature on the subject which takes into account all vital aspects/issues on theme and competently discusses these with scientific treatment." (jacket)
