Sharing security in an era of international cooperation: unmanned aerial vehicles and the United States’ Air Force

The United States’ Air Force (USAF) has developed and used unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology to monitor and assassinate dangerous terrorists in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen. Currently, there are few countries that possess armed UAV and since the US created much of this technology, the USAF is usually part of the training that automatically accompanies the purchase of its UAVs. The research question this article attempts to answer is, “What is the extent of the United States’ Air Force assistance in the training and proliferation of UAV technology to foreign militaries?”

China’s Search for a ‘Strategic Air Force’

Once dismissed by many outside observers, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) has undergone an impressive transformation over the past two decades, emerging as one of the world’s premier air forces. As it continues to modernize, it is focused on becoming a ‘strategic air force.’ PLAAF strategists suggest this means it should play a decisive role in protecting Chinese national interests, field modern capabilities commensurate with China’s standing as a major power, and enjoy the institutional status befitting its role as a ‘strategic service,’ an important consideration given the historical dominance of the ground force in China’s military.     

一种基于 Dijkstra 算法的航空平台组网技术

本文针对航空平台在超低空和超视距飞行过程中,传统的单一的TDMA网络难以满足无盲区通信需求,提出一种基于Dijkstra算法的ad hoc组网技术,通过建立实时邻居信息表、网络拓扑表和动态路由,在工程应用中实现了具有中继功能的地空-空空高速实时无线传输网络,满足了部队通信网络大范围覆盖和实时性需求。     

快轴伺服系统的设计与性能测试

研制了用于加工非回转对称光学元件的快轴伺服系统(FAS)的整体结构及其控制系统,系统具备较大行程和高工作频率,最大的行程可达到30mm。系统采用了音圈电机驱动的气体静压轴承技术、线性电流放大器、高分辨率编码器以及高速控制系统。对不同截面形状气浮导轨的静、动态特性进行了有限元分析。系统采用PID反馈和速度/加速度前馈控制方法来改善系统的动态性能。FAS系统0.1mm阶跃响应的上升时间为2ms,最大超调量为0.4%,稳态时间为4ms,对铝件进行超精密切削实验,表面粗糙度可达Ra24nm,实验结果表明系统具有较好的动态和切削特性。

Airpower in India's 1999 Kargil War

For 74 days in mid-1999, India waged an intense war against intruding Pakistani forces on the Indian side of the Line of Control dividing Kashmir in the Himalayas. The Indian Air Force (IAF) was a key contributor to India's eventual victory in that war. Among other things, the IAF's combat performance showed how the skillful application of air-delivered firepower, especially if unmatched by the other side, can shorten and facilitate the outcome of an engagement that might otherwise have persisted indefinitely. It also showed that a favorable position in the conventional balance remains strategically useful even in conditions of mutual nuclear deterrence.     

海军要地防空作战指挥中飞机有效部署区域研究
