Rethinking Military Virtue Ethics in an Age of Unmanned Weapons

Although most styles of military ethics are hybrids that draw on multiple ethical theories, they are usually based primarily on the model of Aristotelian virtue ethics. Virtue ethics is well-suited for regulating the conduct of soldiers who have to make quick decisions on the battlefield, but its applicability to military personnel is threatened by the growing use of unmanned weapon systems. These weapons disrupt virtue ethics’ institutional and cultural basis by changing what it means to display virtue and transforming the roles soldiers perform and the nature of the military profession itself. I argue that in light of these challenges to virtue ethics, at least as it is traditionally understood within the armed forces, soldiers operating unmanned weapons require a more heavily rule-based approach to military ethics.

Western drones and African security

While unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become a standard element of modern armed forces, African countries have been reluctant to acquire remotely piloted aircraft for military purposes until recently. This is mainly due to a lack of industrial capabilities and, for military purposes so far, procurement policies that have concentrated on small arms and light weapons, more prestigious armoured vehicles and combat aircraft. Moreover, counter-insurgency strategies in Africa tend to focus on manoeuvre warfare, co-opting rebels or fighting them using armed proxies. As a consequence, international counterterrorism operations against fanatical and reckless groups like al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and Boko Haram in sub-Saharan Africa are characterised by a strong dependence on Western forces providing UAV-based reconnaissance and, in some cases for the United States, military strikes by drones. This essay reviews some of the incentives and problems of the use of UAVs in the African context. Given the geographical and military conditions of asymmetric warfare in Africa, and potential problems concerning international law, ethical aspects of the use of arms, and civil–military relations notwithstanding, it is argued that African security forces should develop their own UAV capabilities by intensifying their cooperation with Western armed forces.

针对自主式水下无人航行器(AUV)长时间潜航时的精确导航定位需求,以多波束测深系统为水下地形测量设备,提出一种基于贝叶斯估计的AUV水下地形匹配导航模型。针对贝叶斯滤波后验概率密度函数的求解问题,用高斯混合密度函数近似状态的后验概率密度函数,提出了基于高斯和粒子滤波的水下地形匹配导航方法。基于多波束测深数据的回放式仿真试验表明,提出的方法可以有效近似地形匹配的贝叶斯滤波模型,具有良好的实用性。

国外潜航器水下隐蔽导航定位方法探析

针对潜航器自主惯性导航误差随时间不断增大的问题，研究了基于运载器、信标中继、海底固定基站的国外潜航器的典型导航定位方法。通过水声通信方式，运载器、信标中继站将其卫星精确定位数据发送至潜航器，或海底固定基站接收到潜航器发射唤醒信号后，量测相关信息并发至潜航器。潜航器被动接收水声通信数据，并对其进行综合处理，实现潜航器在水下隐蔽工作模式下对自身位置的实时修正，提高潜航器导航定位精度，具备较强的工程可实现性。     

基于扩展卡尔曼滤波的雷达无源定位方法

提出了基于扩展卡尔曼滤波的雷达无源定位技术。利用多无人机平台对雷达网进行航迹欺骗,需要对网内的雷达进行定位以达到精确欺骗干扰的目的。但飞行器在飞行过程量测噪声较高,传统的时差定位方法无法满足定位精度的要求。对于时差定位的非线性时变模型,提出了利用时变扩展卡尔曼滤波对雷达位置进行跟踪定位的方法。仿真结果显示,利用扩展卡尔滤波进行无源定位可以在高噪声背景下有较好的定位精度。
