结合平流层飞艇姿态的太阳辐射强度分布

平流层飞艇上表面太阳辐射强度的分布是影响光伏阵列输出性能的重要因素。为分析平流层飞艇飞行姿态对其上表面太阳辐射强度分布特征的影响,并建立飞艇动力学模型与太阳辐射物理模型交互耦合的计算模型。使用该模型对算例飞艇进行计算分析,量化得出飞艇偏航角和俯仰角耦合变化对飞艇表面太阳辐射强度分布影响的结果,并比较分析了太阳辐射强度受飞艇飞行姿态影响的特性。研究结果可用于指导太阳能电池阵在平流层飞艇上的优化布局和阵列构型。     

一种打击平流层飞艇的方法研究*

平流层飞艇可作为临近空间攻防双方重要的武器平台，研究如何对其实施打击具有重要理论及现实意义。现有研究证明由于囊体内外压差极小，通过打击飞艇囊体使其升力气体泄漏从而达到打击目的的方法时效性太差，因此在建立平流层飞艇接收太阳能模型及毁伤薄膜电池模型基础上，分析了太阳能薄膜电池毁伤面积变化与飞艇作战能力之间的关系，并采用蒙特卡洛方法研究了导弹突防阶段雷达探测概率、导弹拦截概率和击中目标时导弹毁伤半径对薄膜电池相对毁伤面积的影响。仿真结果表明，将防御方雷达探测概率和导弹拦截概率控制在0.5并将导弹有效毁伤半径提高到50.0m能较好达成打击平流层飞艇的目的，3枚导弹就可使700m长飞艇在较短时间内丧失作战能力，通过毁伤飞艇太阳能电池来达到打击平流层飞艇目的的方法可行。     

平流层飞艇气动特性相似缩比分析与风洞试验

阐述了平流层飞艇气动特性天地相似缩比分析设计方法,给出了刚体模型与柔性体模型完成风洞试验需满足的相似准则数,并指导完成两类缩比模型研制及风洞试验。通过对两类缩比模型风洞试验数据的分析,发现平流层飞艇不同充气内压下气动特性规律基本一致,但较刚体模型有明显的差异;柔性特征下的气动阻力系数明显高于刚体,在零攻角状态下甚至高出一倍,引发滚转气动力矩特性出现稳定与发散的本质变化。这对平流层飞艇特别是低压保形下的柔性气动特性评估,克服现有采用刚体气动特性数据或工程估算方法进行“动阻平衡”飞艇总体设计存在较大偏差的弊端,具有重要工程应用价值。     

平流层飞艇飞行模态分析

平流层飞艇的总体布局、升空原理和工作模式明显不同于导弹、飞机等传统飞行器,其动力学特性亦不同于上述飞行器,须深入研究其飞行动力学的基本特性、一般规律和内在机理。针对此问题,系统研究了平流层飞艇的飞行模态。采用小扰动方法推导了平流层飞艇的线性运动方程,将其解耦分组为纵向运动方程和横侧向运动方程;定义模态及模态参数,研究平流层飞艇的模态分析方法;通过计算分析状态方程的特征值和特征向量,研究了平流层飞艇的飞行模态。结果表明:纵向运动由浮沉、浪涌和摆动三种模态叠加而成,横侧向运动由偏航衰减、侧滑衰减和滚转振荡三种模态叠加而成。

平流层飞艇空间控制作战样式分析*

临近空间是未来作战的制高点之一,在分析了临近空间作战特点的基础上,建立了平流层飞艇编队作战模型,通过研究飞艇的信息对抗能力、防御能力及武器性能,表明激光武器比导弹更适合于平流层飞艇的临近空间作战,干扰通信系统比干扰侦察系统对作战结果的影响更大,采取一定的防御措施也不能对平流层飞艇的损失率产生较大影响.     

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.

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.     

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.
