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.

Ray Tricker is the Principal Consultant of Herne European Consultancy Ltd - a company specialising in ISO 9000 Management Systems - and is also an established author. He served with the Royal Corps of Signals (for a total of 37 years) during which time he held various managerial posts culminating in being appointed as the Chief Engineer of NATO's Communication Security Agency (ACE COMSEC). Most of Ray's work since joining Herne has centred on the European Railways. He has held a number of posts with the Union International des Chemins de fer (UIC) (e.g. Quality Manager of the European Train Control System (ETCS)) and with the European Union (EU) Commission (e.g. T500 Review Team Leader, European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) Users Group Project Co-ordinator, HEROE Project Co-ordinator) and currently (as well as writing books!) he is busy assisting small businesses from around the world produce their own auditable Quality and/or Integrated Management Systems to meet the requirements of ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001 and OHSAS standards. He is also a UKAS Assessor for the assessment of certification bodies for the harmonisation of the trans-European high speed railway network.
