Book Description

In an effort to provide the US infantryman with more firepower to cover the range gap between the hand grenade and the light mortar, the 40mm M79 grenade launcher – a shoulder-fired, single-shot weapon – entered service with US forces in 1961. Reliable, easy to use, and lethally effective, the M79 soon became an iconic symbol of the Vietnam War and had a profound influence on small-unit tactics. As the Vietnam conflict continued, it was joined on the front line by experimental models such as the magazine-fed T148E1, as well as two launchers intended to be fitted under the barrel of the new M16 assault rifle: Colt's XM148 and AAI Corporation's M203. The M203 remains in US Army service today, while the US Marine Corps now also fields the M32 multiple grenade launcher – like the M79, a standalone weapon. Featuring full-colour artwork, this is the story of the rugged and formidable grenade launchers that equipped the United States and its allies in Vietnam and beyond from the 1960s to the present day.

Book Description

What Is Electromagnetic Weapons A directed-energy weapon, often known as a DEW, is a ranged weapon that inflicts harm on its target by directing a highly concentrated kind of energy towards it. This type of energy may take the form of lasers, microwaves, particle beams, or sound beams. This technology may have a variety of uses, some of which include weapons that target individuals, missiles, vehicles, and optical equipment. Research on directed-energy weapons to counter ballistic missiles, hypersonic cruise missiles, and hypersonic glide vehicles is being conducted in the United States by the Department of Defense, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Air Force Research Laboratory, the United States Army Armament Research Development and Engineering Center, and the Naval Research Laboratory. It is not anticipated that these missile defense systems would become operational any earlier than the middle to late 2020s. How You Will Benefit (I) Insights, and validations about the following topics: Chapter 1: Directed-energy weapon Chapter 2: Strategic Defense Initiative Chapter 3: Non-lethal weapon Chapter 4: Anti-satellite weapon Chapter 5: Wireless power transfer Chapter 6: Sonic weapon Chapter 7: Active Denial System Chapter 8: Space warfare Chapter 9: Particle beam Chapter 10: Plasma stealth Chapter 11: Space weapon Chapter 12: Electrolaser Chapter 13: Particle-beam weapon Chapter 14: Dazzler (weapon) Chapter 15: Project Excalibur Chapter 16: Laser weapon Chapter 17: KALI (electron accelerator) Chapter 18: Counter rocket, artillery, and mortar Chapter 19: Counter-electronics High Power Microwave Advanced Missile Project Chapter 20: Vigilant Eagle Chapter 21: AN/SEQ-3 Laser Weapon System (II) Answering the public top questions about electromagnetic weapons.

Book Description

What Is Laser Weapon A directed-energy weapon that makes use of lasers is referred to as a laser weapon. After many decades of research and development, directed-energy weapons such as lasers are still in the experimental stage as of January 2020. It is unknown whether or not these weapons will ever be deployed as operational, high-performance military weapons, and if so, when this will occur. If there is fog, smoke, dust, precipitation, snow, smog, foam, or purposefully scattered obscurant compounds in the atmosphere, atmospheric thermal blooming will be much more severe than it already is. This issue is still mostly unresolved. A laser, at its core, is a light-emitting diode that, in order to function properly and avoid producing unwanted thermal blooming, must emit a beam of light into the atmosphere or into a vacuum.

Book Description

Fatal Dive: Solving the World War II Mystery of the USS Grunion by Peter F. Stevens reveals the incredible true story of the search for and discovery of the USS Grunion. Discovered in 2006 after a decades-long, high-risk search by the Abele brothers—whose father commanded the submarine and met his untimely death aboard it—one question remained: what sank the USS Grunion? Was it a round from a Japanese ship, a catastrophic mechanical failure, or something else—one of the sub’s own torpedoes? For almost half the war, submarine skippers’ complaints about the MK 14 torpedo’s dangerous flaws were ignored by naval brass, who sent the subs out with the defective weapon. Fatal Dive is the first book that documents the entire saga of the ship and its crew and provides compelling evidence that the Grunion was a victim of “The Great Torpedo Scandal of 1941-43.” Fatal Dive finally lays to rest one of World War II’s greatest mysteries.
