Download or read book Seapower and Space written by Norman Friedman and published by Bloomsbury Academic. This book was released on 2000 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, navies have been major sponsors of space developments for the purposes of secure communications and precise navigation: without satellite navigation a submarine-based deterrent force would have been impossible, and the accuracy of the Tomahawk cruise missile in the Gulf War was entirely dependent on such technology. This book chronicles these developments, describing the systems themselves and concluding with an analysis of future possibilities.
