Scientific research and instrumentation are crucial for military action today but they have not always been so. This collection investigates 500 years of the relationship between warfare, research, and instruments - both physical and intekectual - to anderstand this interaction. With U.S., English and French examples, contibutors provide examples from army and naval history to show how goverments and individuals made warfare scientific, developing instruments, stations, and organizations that futhered the cause. Some developments directly aided war efforts; others were parts of normal science in peacetime; and others were relatively ineffective in directly bringing about military change. These developmental histories shed light on the origins of modern scientific warfare.
