Summary
Rearming the Anzacs is the first in the series, and tells the story of how the air defence systems on the Royal Australian Navy's Anzac-class frigates were upgraded to be among the best in the world. It is a story that ultimately turns on taking an innovative Australian idea--the CEAFAR radar--from a gleam in a naval engineer's eye through to a deployed system that can down multiple inbound supersonic missiles. It is a story with a happy ending--not always the case with defence projects--but it was not always a happy journey. Author Robert Macklin describes the ups and downs and the eventual success of the project
