Advanced Weaponry

Militaries around the world use advanced technology to build powerful weapons. Stealth bombers and heat-seeking missiles are two examples of the systems that nations have developed.

This book introduces the science behind these weapons. The text is written at a reading level suited to younger or struggling readers, while the subject stays engaging for older ones, and photographs support each topic. One section traces how advanced weaponry has progressed over time. Others profile current and future examples and use labeled diagrams to show how they work. The book also considers other ways the same technologies are used.
