High-Speed Marine Craft
This book details the effort to build a large ship capable of traveling at 100 knots, from historical and technical perspectives.
The Missile Defense Equation
Peter J. Mantle, a former U.S. Navy program manager and Pentagon insider, has written this book to help decision makers sort out the costs and technical merits of competing missile defense technologies now in development or under research. Officials in the various missile defense communities tend to make claims of missile defense performance and technical risks using community specific terms and units of measure that make it difficult to compare one system to another. Mantle unravels this trend by translating competing measures into a common standard, and common treatment. He explores the history of missile defense and standardizes the confusing world of missile-defense terminology. He devot...

Air Cushion Craft Development
A technical summary is given of the development of air cushion craft from their inception to the present day. The designation "air cushion craft" encompasses any craft that relies on a cushion of air for a significant part of its support and operates in close proximity to the suface. The technical summary covers both aerostatic craft known as air cushion vehicles (ACV) and surface effect ships (SES) as well as aerodynamic craft such as wing-in-ground effect vehicles (WIG). Other variants are included in the review.
A Technical Summary of Air Cushion Craft Development
A brief review is given of the technical status of the state-of-the-art in air cushion craft as it exists today. The designation 'air cushion craft' is all encompassing, in that it covers all craft operating close to the surface and relying on a cushion of air to generate significant portions of their lift. It includes both the amphibious craft known as air cushion vehicles (ACV) or hovercraft and the nonamphibious craft known as surface effect ships (SES). Where applicable, the technology of other special uses of the air cushion is called upon to illustrate a point.
