基于概念知识树的军事想定描述方法

为了增强军事想定描述规范的知识性,在研究概念知识树的基础上提出了一种基于概念知识树的军事想定描述方法.首先,以军事想定描述需求为依据,使用概念知识树对军事想定的元素进行描述和组织,建立军事想定的知识表达模型;然后利用军事想定定义语言(military scenario definition language,MSDL)框架和5Ws对军事想定进行系统性组织,形成符合军情的想定描述规范.在多兵种联合仿真实验中应用了该描述方法,实现了想定在不同兵种之间的共享,证明了该描述方法的可用性和有效性.     

测时差定位的误差分析及表征方法

测时差无源定位具有很高的测量精度,但是时差定位在不同的定位区域定位误差差异非常大,更为重要的是误差区域分布形状复杂,用传统的误差半径和误差面积都很难表征具体点误差在军事上的意义.引入了概率椭圆来表示目标的概率分布,可较好地表征不规则的误差分布,有很强的军事应用价值.并给出了目标处于不同位置时的概率椭圆算法.     

雷达装备RMS参数体系论证

针对雷达装备RMS(可靠性、维修性、保障性)参数体系研究中出现的完备性问题和针对性问题,分析了雷达装备的任务需求,研究了雷达装备RMS参数选取的原则,按RMS综合参数、RMS单项参数(可靠性参数、维修性参数、测试性参数)、保障系统及保障资源参数5类,建立了雷达装备RMS参数体系.在此基础上,重点对参数之间的相互关系进行了图形化描述,对影响雷达装备任务完成的关键性参数进行了建模.该参数体系及参数间相互关系的说明可为雷达装备RMS要求论证提供依据.

基于无线局域网MAC层DOS攻击的入侵检测

为了检测无线局域网MAC层的6种DOS攻击方式,提出一种基于Hybrid特征选择和支持向量机的入侵检测算法.该算法先用混合器模式的Hybrid特征选择算法提取8个识别攻击的流量统计特征,然后利用支持向量机对待检测对象进行识别分类.通过建立仿真环境对检测模型的检测效果进行统计验证,表明检测模型在具有较高检测准确率和较低的虚警率,能够有效地检测MAC层DOS攻击,具有实用价值.

Investigating optimal replacement of aging air force systems

An availability‐oriented approach has been developed to decide when to replace an aging system. For an existing system, it is optimal to operate another year if and only if the incremental cost per available year is less than the lifetime average cost per available year of a new aircraft. We illustrate our approach using United States Air Force KC‐135 tanker data. In demonstrating our approach, we find it will be optimal to replace the KC‐135 by the end of the decade.     

The ‘African COP’

The 17th Conference of the Parties (COP17) had been anticipated as the ‘African COP’, not only due to the African venue but also due to the opportunity it would afford African countries – with South Africa at the helm – to steer the debate on a global climate change regime. With the conference now over, lobby groups, international organisations, negotiators, observers and commentators alike have been taking stock of its outcome. Despite the litany of developmental and security implications of climate change, COP17 got underway with little hope that much might actually be achieved. In light of the discouraging condition of the global economy, with leading developed economies suffering financially, states were hardly in a mood to be making concessions that would impact their fiscal health. Nonetheless, an agreement was reached. Questions remain, however, about the significance of the outcome of the African COP for the world at large, but ultimately also for Africa.     

Boko Haram and the challenges of Nigeria's war on terror

Boko Haram terrorism has been recognized by Nigerian President Jonathan as the most threatening and complex security issue in Nigeria since independence. In response, the Federal Government of Nigeria has committed itself to different counterterrorism measures, which are largely dominated by “hard politics” and military mobilization. Spending heavily on defense to upgrade military hardware and train personnel in a counterterrorism role, Nigeria has also boosted its strategic importance in the “Global War on Terror”. However, this attempt has become unpopular as it has failed to contain Boko Haram within a short time frame and has made insufficient headway against unabated terror, with human rights costs among the host communities and amidst a surge of stakeholders' discordance. As a matter of concern, this article seeks to assess Boko Haram as an opponent in Nigeria's war on terror (WOT) and to ascertain the challenges the country faces, the alternative measures open to it, and possible ways forward.
