From the publisher: "The first comprehensive treatment of the basic principles of missile guidance, this book considers every fundamental problem encountered in guiding a controlled missile reliably to its target. An essential background for work with missile guidance systems, for professional engineers, technical officers of the armed services, instructors and graduate students.". Missile guidance refers to a variety of methods of guiding a missile or a guided bomb to its intended target. The missile's target accuracy is a critical factor for its effectiveness. Guidance systems improve missile accuracy by improving its "Single Shot Kill Probability" (SSKP), which is part of combat survivability calculations associated with the salvo combat model. These guidance technologies can generally be divided up into a number of categories, with the broadest categories being "active," "passive" and "preset" guidance. Missiles and guided bombs generally use similar types of guidance system, the difference between the two being that missiles are powered by an onboard engine, whereas guided bombs rely on the speed and height of the launch aircraft for propulsion. The concept of missile guidance originated at least as early as World War I, with the idea of remotely guiding an airplane bomb onto a target. In World War II, guided missiles were first developed, as part of the German V-weapons program. Project Pigeon was American behaviorist B.F. Skinner's attempt to develop a pigeon-guided missile. The first U.S. ballistic missile with a highly accurate inertial guidance system was the short-range Redstone. Guidance systems are divided into different categories according to what type of target they are designed for - either fixed targets or moving targets. The weapons can be divided into two broad categories, Go-Onto-Target (GOT) and Go-Onto-Location-in-Space (GOLIS) guidance systems. A GOT missile can target either a moving or fixed target, whereas a GOLIS weapon is limited to a stationary or near-stationary target. The trajectory that a missile takes while attacking a moving target is dependent upon the movement of the target. Also, a moving target can be an immediate threat to the sender of the missile. The target needs to be eliminated in a timely fashion in order to preserve the integrity of the sender. In GOLIS systems the problem is simpler because the target is not moving.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Prepared for the Directorate General of Mineral Resources, Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, Jiddah, Saudi Arabia. Original USGS green printed wraps 22x28cm. (1), iii, 60pp complete with full-page map in-text, and colour folding map in the back pocket. Report very good, bumped to lower corner, with inscription to the front, folding map fine. This appears to be rare with Worldcat recording 8 locations, not all of which marked as "Preliminary" or published in Jeddah (ExxonMobil, Hebrew University Mount Scopus Library, Penn State, Stanford University, Colorado School of Mines, USGS x3). The presentation inscription by the lead author to the front cover reads: "To Brian - This is a once-over-lightly view of Saudi Arabian deposits. It will be followed by more detailed reports. Ralph". Ralph Jackson Roberts (1911-2007) and William Greenwood (1939-92) spent six years in Saudi Arabia, mapping ore deposits and contributing to the development of its mining industry. Produced as part of a wider Saudi-USGS programme, the team identified belts and deposits of copper, zinc, silver and gold, with a very favourable outlook: "Saudi Arabian metal deposits known thus far contain reserves in the 2 billion dollar range. Further exploration should result in discoveries that could significantly increase this amount; Saudi Arabia may well have workable metallic and nonmetallic mineral resources for industrial developments in many parts of the Kingdom" (p1). This would have been of great interest to a country seeking to diversify its economy away from oil. The report includes structural framework, types of deposits, distribution, genesis, mineral belts, suggested exploration target areas, and references. The in-text map shows mineral belts. The loose "Generalized Geologic Map of the Arabian Shield, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia", 1974, 72x64cm, 1:4,000,000 was compiled by Greenwood, DG Hadley and DL Schmidt, from USGS, French, Saudi and Japanese sources, and printed by Dar al Asfahani & Co, Jeddah.
