If you think serving a few years or even many years in the military means you'll easily get into college or land a job-then think again. Most service members find the transition to civilian life challenging. Schedule changes and undisciplined civilians set nerves on edge, which makes focusing on education tough. Mike Cubbage, a former Army combat veteran, draws upon his personal experiences in re-entering civilian life as well as his work advocating for veterans in this guide to navigating the transition to civilian life. While he shares tips in many areas, he focuses on education. Learn how to: find a school that will provide you with valuable support and skills; take advantage of military benefits that help pay for education; cope with the stress that goes along with transitioning to civilian life; and apply skills you learned in the military to succeed as a student. . .

Each year, Israel’s young men and women are drafted into compulsory military service and are required to engage directly in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This conflict is by its nature intensely complex and is played out under the full glare of international security. So, how does Israel’s education system prepare its young people for this? How is Palestine, and the Palestinians against whom these young Israelis will potentially be required to use force, portrayed in the school system? Nurit Peled-Elhanan argues that the textbooks used in the school system are laced with a pro-Israel ideology, and that they play a part in priming Israeli children for military service. She analyzes the presentation of images, maps, layouts and use of language in History, Geography and Civic Studies textbooks, and reveals how the books might be seen to marginalize Palestinians, legitimize Israeli military action and reinforce Jewish-Israeli territorial identity. This book provides a fresh scholarly contribution to the Israeli-Palestinian debate, and will be relevant to the fields of Middle East Studies and Politics more widely.

In this meticulously researched and absorbing biography, Arthur Kahn brings Caesar alive and explores the spirit of his age with intensity, illuminating the politics, the technological and scientific developments, military struggles, and the artistic and philosophical ferment.

This text provides a technical exploration of military and commercial test and evaluation. Chapter One provides important history, and addresses the vital relationship of quality test and evaluation (T&E) to the acquisition and operations of defence weapons systems. Subsequent chapters cover such concepts as cost and operational effectiveness analysis, modelling and simulation, and verification, validation, and accreditation, among others. In the closing chapters, concepts for the future are discussed.

Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) are revolutionizing our approach to flight. Whether monitoring severe weather or conducting a military operation, new versions of these machines and the components that operate them are being developed and implemented at an unprecedented rate as corporations, governments, academia, and private individuals all seek to understand and capitalize upon this innovative, expanding field. Whether for classroom use or self-study, Designing Unmanned Aircraft Systems is the most authoritative single-volume reference available on UAS design. It investigates all elements of the design process, including architectural options and design drivers across diverse system classes. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the end-to-end unmanned aircraft system and a deeper appreciation for the multidisciplinary nature of UAS design. New to the second edition are chapters on Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL), Airships, and Unconventional Vehicles as well as Special Topics in Unmanned Aviation. The latter discusses export and arms control, airspace integration, and societal issues that are increasingly a part of public discourse.

This is an extensively illustrated text that presents the fundamentals of the aircraft combat survivability design discipline as defined by the DoD Military Standard issued in 1981. It provides the history of, the concepts for, and the assessment methodology and the design technology for the nonnuclear combat survivability analysis and design of fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft and missiles. Of critical interest to anyone involved in the design and development of military aircraft or airborne weapon systems, the book also will be useful to weapon system effectiveness analysts.

Radar and Laser Cross Section Engineering, Third Edition reflects recent developments that have found applications in both the military and civilian sectors. These developments have been fueled by growth in computer technology, signal processing techniques, and new materials that have interesting and unusual electric and magnetic behavior. Many concepts conceived decades ago have finally become a reality. In addition to new discussions in developing technical areas, more homework problems and examples have been added to this new edition. It is assumed that the reader has mastered electromagnetics at an undergraduate level. Completion of a course in antennas also is a helpful prerequisite to this book, although students without an antenna background have successfully mastered the material presented. Contents Preface 1 Radar Cross Section 2 Basic Theorems, Concepts, and Methods 3 Frequency-Domain Numerical Methods 4 Time-Domain Numerical Methods 5 Microwave Optics 6 Complex Targets 7 Radar Cross Section Reduction 8 Measurement of Radar Cross Section 9 Laser Cross Section Appendix A Notation, Definitions, and Review of Electromagnetics Appendix B Coordinate Systems Appendix C Review of Antenna Theory Appendix D Review of Transmission Lines Appendix E Scattering Matrices Appendix F Properties of Composite Materials Index Supporting Materials
