Predicting and surviving the military environment

摘要

Modern military equipment must be capable of withstanding and operating in the harsh and demanding natural environments from the Gulf to the Arctic. The effect of these extreme climatic conditions on both equipment and materials are compounded by the service operational needs generated by operating the system, for example vibration. This wide ranging, complex subject drives the need for essential technical guidance when procuring military materiel. This highlights the need for a indepth and comprehensive handbook/ guide to detail this.
