 All RF Cafe Quizzes make great fodder for
employment interviews for technicians or engineers - particularly those who are
fresh out of school or are relatively new to the work world. Come to think of it,
they would make equally excellent study material for the same persons who are going
to be interviewed for a job. Bonne chance, Viel Glück, がんばろう,
buena suerte, удачи, in bocca al lupo, 행운을 빕니다,
ádh mór, בהצלחה, lykke til, 祝你好運.
Well, you know what I mean: Good luck!

Note: Some material based on books have quoted passages.
 This quiz is based on the information presented
in Battlespace Technologies: Network-Enabled Information Dominance, by Richard S.
Deakin. Published by Artech House.
Note: Some of these books are available
as prizes in the monthly RF Cafe Giveaway.
This book has some of the best photos of modern war-fighting technology that
I have seen.
"The era of mechanized warfare is rapidly giving way to the battle for
information superiority enabled by electronic technologies that provide data for
detailed analysis of enemy forces and capabilities. Supported with over 400
color photographs and illustrations, this new book is written and designed
specifically to help non-specialists quickly understand the complexities of
Network Enabled Capability (NEC). It offers professionals expert guidance on how
to achieve information dominance throughout the battlespace by effectively
employing the technologies, concepts, and decision-making processes of network
enabled warfare. Written in clear, non-technical language with minimum
mathematics, this book discusses how to use sensor technologies, including radar
and electronic warfare systems, to disseminate information to key decision
makers in timely and relevant manner..."
