基于搜索论的反舰导弹捕捉概率研究

反舰导弹已成为现代海战中的主要进攻武器,正确选择反舰导弹捕捉概率计算模型,对火控系统解算、指挥决策至关重要。针对传统捕捉概率计算方法存在的不足,根据搜索论的基本原理、反舰导弹自控终点分布函数、目标位置域函数、目标分布函数、导弹雷达扫描特征等,提出了基于搜索论的捕捉概率计算方法,确定了常见目标分布条件下的现在点射击捕捉概率计算模型,通过仿真验证了模型的正确性,并由仿真结果确定了敌舰高速规避条件下目标瞄准点选取模型。     

反舰导弹对编队内预定目标捕捉概率研究

基于现代反舰导弹末制导雷达的搜索过程，通过分析反舰导弹对编队内预定目标的捕捉条件，研究反舰导弹对编队内预定目标的捕捉概率计算模型，研究了反舰导弹对编队进行突击时捕捉概率的计算方法，并通过实例计算，得出反舰导弹对编队突击时，突击方向和开机时机等参数的确定方法。     

超视距反舰导弹射击方式优化选择

射击方式的选择是反舰导弹作战使用的重要内容。在超视距作战需求的牵引下,传统视距反舰导弹的射击方式受到了巨大挑战。为优化选择超视距反舰导弹的射击方式,建立了两种常用射击方式的导弹捕捉概率模型和目标机动模型,给出一种典型条件不同目标机动航向的导弹捕捉概率,结果表明采用有前置量方式射击无法有效提高超视距导弹的捕捉概率,甚至在某些典型条件下还低于无前置量方式射击的捕捉概率,指出无前置方式是超视距反舰导弹射击的优选方式。     

基于航路规划的导弹"概略前置点"射击方式研究

针对中远程反舰导弹现有射击方式存在的主要问题,提出了"概略前置点"射击方式的基本设想.通过对不同目标数据精度条件下,导弹采用"概略前置点"射击方式仿真计算,得出导弹从不同方位进入时,对海上目标的捕捉概率.     

基于搜索论的反舰导弹机动搜捕策略建模方法

针对概略射击条件下反舰导弹机动搜索目标策略优化选择的需求,采用搜索论的基本理论对反舰导弹机动搜捕策略问题进行了研究,建立了反舰导弹随机搜索策略、平行搜索策略和螺旋搜索策略搜捕概率计算模型,并进行了仿真计算。仿真结果表明:在已知目标概略位置的条件下,反舰导弹假若采取螺旋式搜索策略,能以较高的概率快速捕捉目标。     

基于正交设计的反舰导弹末制导雷达参数优化

分析了反舰导弹末制导雷达的目标捕捉的限制条件,以一种典型的目标态势为前提建立了基于蒙特卡洛仿真法的目标捕捉概率计算模型,在此基础上利用正交设计的方法对末制导雷达参数组合进行寻优,并通过调整重要因素水平进行多次实验,得到了适合当前目标态势的较优参数组合,为提高反舰导弹目标捕捉能力的相关研究提供了参考。     

一种改进的主动寻的雷达目标捕捉概率解析算法

解析法是计算主动寻的雷达目标捕捉概率的主要方法之一,在分析主动寻的雷达搜捕目标全过程的基础上,指出了寻的雷达目标捕捉概率解析算法存在的问题.而后,利用定积分的概念,推导出一种主动寻的雷达目标捕捉概率的新算法,新算法不仅弥补了原算法的不足,而且可用来分别计算寻的雷达第一方位搜索周期和后续方位搜索周期的目标捕捉概率.     

信息链误差对导弹捕捉时间敏感目标概率的影响

终端信息质量是影响打击时间敏感目标(TCT: Time-critical Target)效果的关键因素,从传感器到射手的各个节点都对终端信息质量有影响.运用信息链误差对信息链终端信息质量进行度量,以系统地反映各节点对终端信息质量的影响.在信息链误差计算模型基础上,建立了信息链误差与导弹捕捉TCT概率之间的函数关系.并以导弹攻击水面舰艇为例,分析出了影响反舰导弹捕捉TCT概率的最大误差来源.     

可变搜索区末制导雷达捕捉模型

反舰导弹远程化是一种发展趋势。但是随着射程的增加,反舰导弹自控终点的误差散布也增加,同时降低了目标捕捉概率,扩大末制导雷达搜索区域是解决该问题的一个途径,但这将降低末制导雷达的目标选择能力。选用可变搜索区末制导雷达是解决该矛盾的一种方法。在分析该模式末制导雷达搜索规律的基础上,建立了可变搜索区末制导雷达目标捕捉模型,为该模式末制导雷达目标捕捉概率的计算提供了一种较准确的方法。仿真结果显示该模型基本可信。     

基于搜索论的远程反舰导弹搜捕概率建模方法

针对传统捕捉概率模型难以满足远程反舰导弹机动搜捕概率建模计算的问题,提出利用搜索论进行导弹机动搜捕概率计算的建模方法。该方法根据目标机动规律建立其分布概率密度函数,并依据末制导雷达发现目标概率的"倒四次方律"及弹目相对运动轨迹,构建其探测函数,通过求取两者之积的积分实现搜捕概率计算。计算结果显示:若远程反舰导弹不采取机动搜捕策略,目标指示误差增加1km时搜捕概率降低0.47,目标速度增加10节时搜捕概率降低0.3,末制导雷达搜索半径减小50%时搜捕概率降低0.3;若采取平行搜捕策略,上述因素对其影响大幅下降。可见,该方法综合考虑了目标机动规律、传感器探测规律、导弹搜捕策略,可实现远程反舰导弹机动搜捕概率的解算。     

Putin – the masked nemesis of the strategy of ambiguity

Recent events demonstrate the complex and adaptive approach employed by Russia to reassert influence in Europe. The changing face of Russia’s strategy commenced in 2007 when it launched a crippling cyber-attack against Estonia. This was followed by a large Russian conventional attack against Georgia in 2008, occupying two large areas of the nation. 2014 witnessed the Russian annexation of Crimea where in just a week, Russia seized control of Crimea “without firing a shot.” The annexation of Crimea was rapidly followed by a Russian inspired and led subversive war in eastern Ukraine. The common thread among these diverse Russian operations is its use of ambiguity to confound and confuse decision makers in the West.     

India's counter-insurgency experience: the ‘trust and nurture’ strategy

The Indian Army, a force trained primarily for conventional warfare, has been engaged in internal counter-insurgency operations since the 1950s. Despite such a long innings on a counter-insurgency mode, little attention has been accorded within military circles to doctrinal innovation for waging sub-conventional warfare in India's democratic political context. At best, the Army continues to view counter-insurgency duty as secondary to its primary duty of defending India from external conventional threats. By conceptualizing a counter-insurgency strategy of ‘trust and nurture’, this article aims to fill this critical doctrinal gap in India's military policy. The author argues that a counter-insurgency strategy of ‘trust and nurture’ based on democratic political culture, measured military methods, special counter-insurgency forces, local social and cultural awareness and an integrative nation-building approach will result in positive handling of India's internal security problems. The author utilizes India's counter-insurgency experiences in Assam, Mizoram, Nagaland, Punjab, and Operation ‘Sadhbhavana’ in Jammu and Kashmir as illustrative empirical indicants in order to validate the ‘trust and nurture’ strategy.     

An Unlikely Alliance: Portuguese and South African Airpower in Angola, 1968–1974

The war that Portugal was obliged to fight in Africa began in 1961 and immediately stretched the resources of its armed forces. Nowhere was this thinness more apparent than in policing the vast territory of Angola. The east and southeast of Angola were particularly vulnerable, as the area was a vast, sparsely populated region characterised by enormous featureless plains or chanas covered in tall grass and broken by an extensive river system and mountainous forests. The only military solution to policing these immense spaces was aviation and specifically the helicopter that could carry troops into battle, protect them with a gunship and bring them home when the operation was concluded. The immediate problem for the Portuguese Air Force (Força Aérea Portuguesa or FAP) in Angola and elsewhere was a scarcity of helicopters. The solution was an alliance with South Africa, which had a strong inventory of Alouette IIIs, to help in policing the east. This move was likewise in the interest of South Africa, as its threat came from Zambia through south-eastern Angola. This article examines the strategic and tactical development of this unusual, cross-cultural alliance and the symbiotic relationship that resulted in destruction of the enemies of both in Angola.

A Sign of Victory?: ‘Scottish Swords’ and Other Weapons in the Possession of the ‘Auld Innemie’

Many late medieval documents, notably inventories of arms and armour, of Englishmen contain references to ‘Scottish swords’ and other weapons. What did the compilers of these documents mean when they described a weapon as ‘Scottish’? How did such weapons come to be in the possession of these men? This article will attempt to explain this phenomenon drawing on primary documentary sources and surviving material culture from Glasgow Museums’ collections and others, as well as artworks from the period.     

Helping hands: civil–military cooperation and Italy's military operation abroad

In the Post-Bipolar Era the growing complexity of the military operations requires a new approach for the resolution of international crises. Since the end of the Cold War, peace support operations (PSO) have become the mainstay and principal occupation of most Western armies. At the same time, Italy has been one of the most important actors in such an area. The article focuses on the cooperation between military and civil components (a process called CIMIC) as a key variable in the Italian PSOs. We will analyse in detail the main lessons learned from past military interventions as well as the general context in which new tendencies are taking place. The maintaining of a minimum security frame becomes essential to fulfil activities ‘collateral’ to the mission: reconstructing services and infrastructure, food distribution, water and medication, law and order, de-mining, training of local forces, and supporting local institutions. These are the main tasks to obtain thrust and support from the population.     

Terrorism,insurgency, kidnapping,and security in Africa's energy sector

Energy continues to serve as the bedrock of modern economies and the main driver of modern society. For Africa, the production and supply of energy resources such as crude oil, natural gas, uranium, coal, biomass, biofuels and other renewables are an important source of employment, rents, taxes, royalties and profits. This sector brings in several tens of billions of dollars of revenue annually. The production and delivery of such resources, however, depend on critical infrastructures such as pipelines, refineries, processing plants, terminals, rigs, electrical energy pylons, substations, pump stations, vessels, and tankers. These infrastructures have been attacked by terrorists, insurgents, vandals and saboteurs, all of whom see them as targets against which to register their grievances and extract concessions from the state. This paper is a chronological account of some of the documented incidents of terrorism, insurgency, kidnapping, destruction, sabotage, and human casualties suffered in the oil and gas sectors in Africa between 1999 and 2012. It is based on data extracted from the databases of the RAND Database of World Terrorism Incidents and the University of Maryland's Global Terrorism Database (GTD).     

Cyberpower in Strategic Affairs: Neither Unthinkable nor Blessed

Abstract

This article explores the effect of connectivity on strategic affairs. It argues that the effect on war's character is potentially, although not yet shown in practice, considerably large. Its effect upon the distribution of power among states in the international system is small, contrary to the claims of ‘cyberwar’ alarmists. All told, however, its effect upon strategic affairs is complex. On the one hand, it represents a significant advance in the ‘complexification’ of state strategies, understood in the sense of the production of intended effects. On the other hand, strategists today – still predominantly concerned with the conflicts and confrontations of states and organised military power – are generally missing the power which non-traditional strategic actors, better adapted to the network flows of the information age, are beginning to deploy. These new forms of organization and coercion will challenge the status quo.
