REFLECTIONS ON THE INTEGRATION OF THE MILITARY IN SOUTH AFRICA

This paper explores the contribution of the African Union (AU) to human security promotion in Africa. It contends that human security concerns informed the formation of the AU. Through the efforts of the AU Commission, the African ruling elite and policy-makers have become aware of human security doctrines. Human security ideas have been integrated into AU binding agreements, declarations, decisions and policies. The commission is now in the difficult, yet most important, phase of trying to persuade significant numbers of the African ruling elite and civil society to accept human security as a guiding principle and the desirable norm. Through the African Citizens' Directorate (CIDO), the commission is using indigenous African civil society groups to institutionalise human security doctrines in Africa. The commission faces serious challenges in its efforts to make human security the only security norm. While member states of the AU that have never been comfortable with the introduction of human security doctrines into the continental integration project are tacitly undermining the CIDO's ability to work with civil society groups to institutionalise the doctrines in Africa, the leaders who enthusiastically supported the integration of human security doctrines into the documents and work of the AU have seemed in recent times to be less resolute in their support of AU Commission's human security work.     

Warning whom,for which response?

In June 2000, the Conference of Heads of State and Government of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) adopted the Protocol on the establishment of the Peace and Security Council for Central Africa (COPAX), with its two technical structures, namely the Central African Multinational Force (FOMAC) and the Central African Early Warning Mechanism (MARAC). MARAC is tasked with collecting and analysing data for the early detection and prevention of conflicts and crises. It currently consists of the Central Structure located at the ECCAS Executive Secretariat in Libreville (Gabon) and 31 Decentralised Correspondents spread throughout the ten member states of ECCAS. This article assesses the performance of MARAC in the light of its assigned objectives. Bearing in mind the peace and security challenges facing the central African sub-region, the central argument of this article is that while the establishment of MARAC is commendable, it flowed more from the logic and context of the establishment of similar mechanisms on the African continent during the same period than from any displayed capacity and/or readiness on the part of ECCAS to implement the recommendations due to emanate from such a structure.     

基于BP神经网络的防空预警雷达阵地选址决策方法

防空预警雷达阵地选址的优劣直接影响到雷达本身及防空武器作战效能的发挥。为了在雷达阵地选址中快速处理繁多的数据和进行定量分析,减少人为主观因素,给出了防空预警雷达阵地选址决策指标体系,并构建了基于BP神经网络的防空预警雷达阵地选址决策模型。最后通过实例验证了该模型对优选防空预警雷达阵地选址具有可行性和实用性。     

面向反导预警作战的雷达交接班时机选择方法

针对反导预警作战过程中远程预警相控阵雷达(early-warning radar,EWR)和多功能地基相控阵雷达(ground-based radar,GBR)探测跟踪弹道导弹的交接班问题,提出了一种可行的雷达交接班时机选择方法.该方法通过卡尔曼滤波对弹道目标进行滤波定轨,基于目标瞬时运动状态估算目标剩余飞行距离,并依据GBR对目标的探测定位精度(geometrical dilution of precision,GDOP)进行接班时机优选,以支持反导预警作战雷达交接班决策.最后,通过一个实例验证了该方法的可行性和有效性.     

以数据为中心的天基预警系统视图模型研究

借鉴美国国防部体系结构框架思想(Department of Defense Architecture Framework,DoDAF),从核心体系结构实体、体系结构建模集和建模步骤几方面研究了以数据为中心的体系结建模方法,针对天基预警系统的特点和在反导中的应用,采用体系结构工具System Architect（SA）从系统层面建立了典型的天基预警系统的系统视图模型,对理解天基预警系统体系结构、开展天基预警系统顶层设计研究具有一定的参考价值。     

反辐射导弹告警技术效能分析

基于反辐射导弹告警技术的原理,分析了反辐射导弹雷达告警技术和光电告警技术的可行性。定义了告警设备的抗电子摧毁因子,并给出了分析过程和计算模型。以命中概率为指标,对反辐射导弹告警技术的作战效能进行了分析研究。仿真得出反辐射导弹命中概率与告警设备告警距离、发现概率等参数的关系,可为反辐射导弹告警技术的研究提供一定的参考。     

基于DoDAF的预警卫星系统作战体系结构建模

预警卫星系统在弹道导弹防御系统中处在最前沿,在战争中起着其他装备无法替代的作用。首先分析了Do DAF作战体系结构产品的内容和相互关系,提出了作战体系结构具体的设计步骤。依据预警卫星系统的作战流程,建立了部分作战体系结构模型,从不同侧面描述了预警卫星系统节点及节点间的信息关系。最后,对模型进行了语法和语义一致性验证,结果表明,建立的模型是正确的。     

航母编队远程防空作战中预警机巡逻区域大小设置

提供了一种航母编队远程防空作战中预警机巡逻区域大小配置的优化方法。通过对航母编队防空区域划分,提出了大小配置的基本要求。以预警机平飞长度、转弯半径和巡逻速度为因素,以目标发现概率、覆盖率和目标发现距离作为评价指标对试验结果进行直观分析,得到对评价指标影响最显著的因素为平飞长度,进而采用正交设计、变步长搜索迭代的方法得到巡逻空域大小的最优布置方案。     

边境地区群体性事件预警指标体系构建研究

科学、可行的指标体系是群体性事件预警的核心。在坚持完备性与最小性原则、科学性与可行性原则、敏感性与动态性原则、全局性与针对性原则的前提下，利用层次分析法、专家调查法，构建了以边境地区经济、社会保障、公共安全维护、民族与宗教、边民心理状况以及周边环境六大因素为支撑的边境地区群体性事件预警指标内容，并形成了6个一级指标，12个二级指标，44个三级指标的边境地区群体性事件预警指标体系。     

纤维对混凝土早期热膨胀系数的影响

在混凝土中分别掺加相同质量的碳纤维和聚酯纤维,采用平板加热器对不同类型的混凝土试件循环加热,测试了其浇筑后5～29 d的温度变形情况,计算了其热膨胀系数。龄期达到29 d,聚酯纤维混凝土热膨胀系数下降约8%,碳纤维混凝土热膨胀系数下降约20%。结果表明,纤维的掺入能有效降低混凝土的早期热膨胀系数;纤维质量相同时,弹性模量高的碳纤维较弹性模量低的聚酯纤维能更显著地降低混凝土的早期热膨胀系数。
