First, let me say up front that I have worked with the author, so my opinion is necessarily biased. However, even if I had no association with Mr. Curry, I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to any radar system analyst. With a solid understanding of the topics presented, the reader should be able to systematically analyze the performance of any search, tracking, or MTI radar, even when faced with incomplete information regarding the specifics of the system. The VBA code is useful for making quick spreadsheet calculations, and also provides a valuable resource for validating the implementation of algorithms that are integrated in more elaborate radar system analysis codes. Particularly interesting to me were the chapters detailing performance against jammers and those covering modeling of volume search modes.
The author has also developed a weeklong radar modeling course based on the book material that nicely complements the exposition in the text. I highly recommend the course, as it offers a unique opportunity to exchange ideas with a man whose experience & insight run deep.
I would particularly recommend the book as a follow-up to Toomay's "Radar Principles for the Non-Specialist" for the reader who has developed a qualitative understanding of basic radar concepts and wants to perform quantitative, concrete analysis.

Radars play a vital and ever-expanding role as integral parts of complex air traffic control, ballistic missile defence, air defence, and targeting systems for land attack. This work helps the reader to evaluate the performance of radars in system tasks, and quantify the impact of radar operation on system performance. The book provides systems-level radar modelling tools for both the analyst and programmer, and furnishes insight on how to use the models in system analysis. The book includes a diskette featuring Visual Basic modules and equations that can be used for calculating many of the parameters and performance measures discussed in the book.
