高动态GPS卫星信号混合载波跟踪算法设计

高动态运动环境会给GPS卫星信号带来很大的多普勒频移及其变化率,甚至产生频率的突变,单一的锁相环、锁频环、四象限鉴频器无法进行稳定跟踪。在对传统锁相环、锁频环原理及性能分析的基础上,设计了一种基于Costas锁相环(Costas-PLL)、叉积锁频环(CP-FLL)及四相鉴频器(FQFD)并能够智能切换的混合载波跟踪算法,该算法基于二阶FLL辅助三阶PLL的跟踪环路实现,依据不同的动态环境使FLL和PLL交替工作,以提高载波跟踪环路的动态适应性。通过固定频率、频率一次斜升、频率二次斜升和频率突变等4种不同动态条件下的实验,证明了该算法在高动态环境下的有效性和可靠性。

频率牵引和增益调节相组合的跟踪算法研究

针对接收机在捕获后存在频差较大,以及在复杂运动场景下利用固定带宽跟踪环去跟踪卫星信号存在动态适应性较弱的问题,提出了一种基于频率牵引和自适应增益调节组合的跟踪算法。该算法首先利用频率牵引将捕获后的较大频差牵引到锁相环工作范围内,然后利用动态调节环路增益的方式,实现对环路带宽的动态调节。最后经过软件接收机测试表明:该算法能有效的缩减环路的收敛时间,具有更佳的噪声抑制和动态适应性。     

卫星导航弱信号的变维卡尔曼滤波跟踪算法

复杂环境下的多普勒频移变化及信号功率衰减均会造成载波跟踪偏差较大甚至失锁,针对标准卡尔曼滤波算法跟踪机动目标时不能同时满足高动态及高灵敏度要求的问题,提出一种基于变维卡尔曼滤波的载波跟踪算法。引入机动和非机动两种载波跟踪模型,通过机动检测因子监视载波动态变化,实时高效地切换载波跟踪模型,从而实现对载波机动和非机动状态的自适应跟踪,抑制机动改变引起的较大误差突跳。理论分析和仿真结果表明,该算法在低至30d BHz弱信号环境下,相比基于标准卡尔曼滤波的跟踪算法,其在目标动态突变时相位跟踪误差减小约37.5%,频率跟踪误差减小约77%。     

一种改进的数字GPS接收机基带环路设计

针对GPS接收机设计中,接收机信号跟踪精度同信号处理的实时性不能兼顾的特点,设计了一种基于DSP+FPGA的数字GPS接收机实时高精度基带环路.阐述了基带信号处理原理及原有方法的不足,提出了一种改进的GPS信号快速、高精度捕获、跟踪方法.利用信号粗捕后先进行精捕,在提高了信号的捕获精度后再结合二阶锁频环路辅助,最终利用三阶载波科斯塔斯锁相环完成GPS载波信号的高精度稳定闭环跟踪,同时使用载波来实时的辅助码环跟踪,从而完成整个GPS信号的实时高精度跟踪.实验结果表明该基带环路能够实现对GPS信号的快速捕获、实时稳定的高精度跟踪,并具有良好的动态性能.

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).     

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.     

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.     

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.

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.     

Country survey XVI the defence sector in the economy of a declining superpower: Soviet Union and Russia, 1965-2001

The Soviet Union was able to develop a large military-industrial complex and become the world's second superpower despite deficiencies in its centrally planned economy because defence was given high priority status and special planning, rationing and administrative mechanisms were used to attain national security objectives. However, in the period 1976-85 the effectiveness of priority protection diminished and defence institutions experienced more of the problems typical of the shortage economic system. The heavy defence burden also created growing difficulties for the civilian economy. The attempts by the Gorbachev government to reform the defence sector and improve defence-economic relationships during perestroika (1985-91) uniformly failed. For most of the transition period, the Russian military-industrial complex has been adversely affected by its low priority status, cuts in defence spending, instability of the hybrid politico-economic system, and negative growth of the economy. The armed forces and defence industry have been reduced in size and their outputs of military services and equipment have fallen to low levels. Nevertheless, the Russian armed forces still have over one million troops, significant stocks of sophisticated conventional weapons, and a large nuclear arsenal. The government of President Putin has raised the priority of the defence sector, increased real defence spending, and adopted ambitious plans to revive Russian military power. It is likely, though, that tight resource constraints will hamper efforts to reform the armed forces and to upgrade weapons. By 2010 Russia will be an important, but not dominant, military power in Eurasia.     

Traffickers,terrorists, and a ‘new security challenge’: Russian counternarcotics strategy and the Federal Service for the Control of the Drugs Trade

The collapse of the Soviet Union precipitated the massive expansion of drug use and trade in Russia. The country now has one of the largest populations of injecting drug users in the world and has become the largest single-country market for Afghan heroin. In 2003 the Federal Service for the Control of the Drugs Trade was created to coordinate a comprehensive counternarcotics strategy appropriate to the scale of this threat. The service continues to face a number of challenges in its early stages of development. However, it has made considerable advances in improving responses to large-scale organised crime and in building international cooperation.
