卫星/MIMU嵌入式导航接收机抗干扰性能分析

为了提高武器在恶劣敌对环境中的生存能力,高抗干扰的嵌入式导航技术越来越受到研究者的关注。在分析卫星/MIMU嵌入式组合导航接收机系统原理的基础上,详细分析了采用MIMU信息辅助卫星接收机跟踪环路,提高多普勒频率估算精度,达到提高系统动态性能和抗干扰性能的要求。然后进一步分析了卫星/MIMU嵌入式组合导航接收机系统抗干扰能力,并以GPS接收机为例,对GPS/MIMU嵌入式导航接收机抗干扰性能进行了仿真。仿真结果表明,卫星/MIMU嵌入式组合导航接收机比一般的卫星接收机跟踪抗干扰性能至少有11dB的提高。     

GNSS信号功率增强对调零抗干扰接收机的性能影响

由于卫星端信号发射功率小、信号传播损耗大,到达接收机的卫星导航信号极其微弱,容易被干扰。为有效应对电磁干扰的威胁,在系统层面和用户层面同时采取抗干扰措施将是一种很好的选择。建立调零抗干扰接收机抗干扰能力分析模型,并定量分析信号功率增强对调零抗干扰接收机抗干扰性能的提升效果。结果表明：信号功率每增强10 dB,接收机抗干扰能力可提升3～4 dB,但从提高接收机非极限条件下的接收性能(载噪比、测距定位精度等)的角度,信号功率增强15～20 dB时,接收性能最优。研究成果可为卫星功率增强量的优化设计以及终端抗干扰设计提供参考。     

基于载波相位辅助的GNSS天线阵抗干扰算法*

对于全球卫星导航定位系统,干扰和多径是影响接收机导航定位性能的两个主要因素。针对卫星导航接收机的抗干扰问题,提出了一种基于载波相位辅助的卫星导航天线阵抗干扰算法。该算法进行盲零陷形成的同时利用各阵元通道输出信号的载波相位辅助来进行盲波束形成,并通过控制算法实现智能切换。仿真结果表明,提出的算法在干扰环境且接收机冷启动的条件下仍能成功抑制干扰、正常工作,在无干扰或弱干扰条件下能进行波束形成来增强卫星信号,从而提高卫星可见性以及定位精度。提出的算法不需要阵列校正以及姿态测量单元辅助,其实现代价远小于传统的波束形成算法。

级联结构的阵列天线导航接收机抗干扰及多径抑制方法

阵列信号处理技术因其能够提供空域分辨能力已被广泛应用于卫星导航接收机领域以实现抗干扰和多径抑制。根据干扰和多径信号对导航接收机基带处理影响的不同提出了一种以数字相关器为界线划分的抗干扰与多径抑制两级处理结构:第一级处理在解扩前估计阵列接收数据的空时协方差矩阵,根据干扰信号功率远大于导航信号及噪声的特点利用子空间投影技术实现抗干扰;第二级处理在解扩后进行空间平滑解相干处理,利用基于Householder变换的广义旁瓣相消技术进行波束形成以实现多径抑制。理论分析和仿真结果表明,该级联处理技术能够有效地压制强干扰,并显著减小多径信号对导航接收机伪码测量的影响。

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).     

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.     

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.     

Helping hands: external support for the KNU insurgency in Burma

This article analyses to what extent the Burmese KNU insurgency made use of external support from states, refugees, and diasporas. Based on extensive fieldwork it is concluded that support from neighbouring states and refugees has for years kept the Karen rebellion alive. Western countries perceived forms of resistance to the illegitimate Burmese regime as just and have therefore played a crucial role in the continuation of conflict in Karen State. It is important that policymakers and donors as well as executing organizations continue to reflect critically on the way they exercise their work.

The UK,interrogation and Iraq, 2003–2008

The UK’s interrogation operations during the conflict in Iraq (2003–2008) are often portrayed by the media as involving significant amounts of mistreatment. This article demonstrates that these practices are not necessarily representative of the UK’s interrogation operations across this conflict. In doing so it contributes to the limited literature on the practice of interrogation and on the UK’s combat operations in Iraq. The UK’s interrogation capability, and therefore its intelligence-gathering capability, is shown to have rested primarily with the military’s Joint Forward Interrogation Team (JFIT). The JFIT suffered from limitations to the number, training and experience of its interrogators and interpreters. It is argued that maintaining a permanent, higher level of preparedness for interrogation by the British armed forces is desirable.     

Remembering and forgetting Mirambo: Histories of war in modern Africa

ABSTRACT

While the study of organised violence is considered essential to understanding the history of the West, and accordingly imbued with various layers of meaning and remembrance, war is widely regarded as inimical to the modern nation in Africa and stable development more broadly. Using examples drawn from primarily from East Africa, this paper considers the ways in which warfare in the deeper (‘precolonial’) past has been framed and envisioned in recent decades, in particular by governments whose own roots lie in revolutionary armed struggle and who began life as guerrilla movements. While in some cases particular elements of the deeper past were indeed mobilised in pursuit of contemporary political goals, in many other scenarios histories of precolonial violence were beheld as problematic and unworthy of remembrance. This paper highlights the paradox and ambiguity which has attended the memory of key aspects of Africa’s deeper past.     

Cyber sheiks and grassroots jihadis: the war in Syria and the devolution of the Bosnian Salafi communities

ABSTRACT

What was the scope of the Bosnian jihadi participation in the war in Syria? Did the Bosnian volunteers tend to join one particular faction? Why did the Bosnian youngsters decide to join the holy war in the Levant? Was this an organized and hierarchical process or was this a grassroots movement? Last, were all the Salafis in Bosnia supportive of this dynamic or did this process cause internal frictions? These are some of the questions that this research will try to answer.
