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。     

基于正交设计的反舰导弹末制导雷达参数优化

舰艇隐身对反舰导弹末制导 雷达目标截获能力的影响

以法国海军的拉菲特级隐身舰为典型对象,就水面舰艇目前的隐身水平进行了评估,分析和计算了典型反舰导弹末制导雷达对隐身舰艇的检测概率和理想状态下对隐身舰艇的截获概率。指出在反舰导弹的攻击过程中,如果能够保证末制导雷达对目标的多次捕捉,舰艇隐身的效果将被抵销;隐身舰艇利用电子干扰产生假目标将可以抑制末制导雷达对真实目标的捕捉。因此,反舰导弹及其末制导雷达要对付舰艇隐身,其关键不是采用新体制雷达来提高检测能力,而在于提高现体制末制导雷达的目标识别能力。

基于选择点的预定目标选择方法原理及性能

反舰导弹末制导雷达的目标选择方法主要采用"先入为主"和"录取对比"方法。从影响目标选择的误差因素出发,对这两种目标选择方法的原理进行了分析研究。研究表明:这两种方法都是基于选择点的预定目标选择方法;且由于受自控终点散布误差和目标机动误差的影响,基于选择点的预定目标选择方法不适应超视距应用。蒙特卡罗仿真表明,预定目标上释放冲淡干扰时,基于选择点的预定目标选择方法已基本不具备预定目标选择能力,超视距情况下正确选择预定目标的概率低于0.2。     

基于加权MHD的反舰导弹预定目标选择方法

平均Hausdorff距离(MHD)方法基于编队的整体形状进行匹配来寻找对应点,因此,不像距离选择区法和扩展搜索图选择法那样受导弹自控段的导航误差和目标机动散布的影响。为了进一步提高反舰导弹的目标选择能力,考虑所匹配点集不同区域对Hausdorff距离函数的贡献程度不一样,提出了加权MHD(WMHD)来研究编队预定目标选择问题。首先通过刚体变换方法将火控雷达和末制导雷达探测到的编队点集进行位置匹配,然后利用WMHD方法获取其最优变换位置,最后据此最优变换位置预测预定选择目标在末制导雷达开机的位置。通过仿真实验表明其具有较强对抗冲淡干扰和形状扭曲失真的能力,且性能明显优于MHD方法。     

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.

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).     

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.     

Tacit support for terrorism: The rapprochement between the USSR and Palestinian guerrilla organizations following the 1967 war

This article demonstrates the inconsistent and wavering Soviet attitude towards national liberation movements in general and the Palestinian organizations in particular. Until the late 1960s, the Soviets viewed these organizations with suspicion, hesitating to engage in political dialogue with them. However, in the 1970s, political and military events in the region, as well as modifications in the Kremlin's Cold War strategies, led to a general shift towards the Middle East in Soviet foreign policy. Soviet leaders showed increased willingness to provide certain Palestinian organizations with arms with which to conduct terrorist activities against Israeli, pro-Israeli, Jewish and Western targets. The article explores the complex relations between Palestinian organizations and the USSR in the field of international terror. The study also exposes and analyzes the nature and content of Soviet–Palestinian arms dialogues and transactions. It provides clear evidence that Soviet policymakers and other luminaries were fully informed of, and sometimes directly involved in, these transactions and dialogues at the highest levels.     

A1 Qaeda and the radical Islamic challenge to western strategy

The September 11 global crisis prompted by the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon raises major questions concerning the nature and trajectory of terrorism in the post-Cold War global order. Hitherto, terrorism has been largely debated by analysts at the level of nation states. Terrorist and insurgent movements have also been largely anchored in nationalist and ethnic power bases even when they have sought to mobilise a transnational ideological appeal on religious or class grounds. There have been a few exceptions to this pattern such as the alliance between the German Baader-Meinhof group and the Japanese Red Army Faction, but even such international alliances as this did not, until at least the 1980s, presage anything like a global terrorist network necessitating a global strategic response. This study examines terrorism and global strategic responses.     

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.
