Defence Electronics: Standards and Quality Assurance is a reference manual for the standards and organizations involved in quality assurance in the general field of defense electronics. The book is comprised of 14 chapters that are organized into six parts. The text first covers the quality systems and control of defense electronics, and then proceeds to tackling the certification and purchasing of electronic components. The third part discusses the defense sales and quality in the U.K. Part Four discusses the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) structure and standards. The next part covers the application and availability of the global electronic defenses standards. The last part deals with the European defense market. The book will be of great use to individuals involved in the manufacturing and selling of defense related products. Military officials and employees of defense related agencies will also benefit from the text.
