Kinetic responses to global terrorism: Lessons from Africa

This essay recalls the immediate and longer-term responses of the US and its allies to the events of 9/11. It contends that the die for contemporary developments in transnational terrorism was cast in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 – in particular the launching of sustained ‘anti-terrorist’ military combat operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, and more covert ‘kinetic’ operations elsewhere in the Middle East and Africa. The essay seeks specifically to expose the counter-productivity of using military operations as the primary antidote to transnational terrorism. Focusing on the African ‘laboratory’ and the spread of transnational terrorism and Islamic militancy, particularly in West and East Africa, the essay concludes that radical Islamists have mastered the ‘battle of the narrative’ and that the Western penchant for dispensing a kinetic brand of medication is feeding rather than fighting the virus of global terrorism.     

基于UML的美军动能反卫作战系统概念建模

针对美军动能反卫作战系统,利用UML方法,对其作战仿真概念建模进行了初步的探讨。针对作战系统的反卫作战任务,首先识别系统的主要行为,利用用例图定义系统的功能需求;其次利用类图标识系统用例模型中的所有实体,并分析这些实体的关联关系;最后,采用顺序图展示对象在系统执行过程中不同阶段的动态交互。这样建立的概念模型描述规范,为下一步仿真系统的开发奠定了良好知识表示基础。

IS STUXNET PHYSICAL? DOES IT MATTER?

Cyber-weapons are software and software, at least intuitively, is non-physical. Several authors have noted that this potentially renders problematic the application of normative frameworks like UN Charter Article 2(4) to cyber-weapons. If Article 2(4) only proscribes the use of physical force, and if cyber-weapons are non-physical, then cyber-weapons fall outside the purview of Article 2(4). This article explores the physicality of software, examining Stuxnet in particular. First, I show that with a few relatively uncontroversial metaphysical claims we can secure the conclusion that Stuxnet is physical. In particular, there exist instances of Stuxnet that are both located in space and causally efficacious, and this is very strong evidence for their being physical. Second, I argue that the question of physicality is actually irrelevant for the moral evaluation of an attack like Stuxnet because of its undeniably physical effects. Finally, I argue that some features of Stuxnet should make us optimistic about the prospects for discrimination and proportionality in cyberwarfare.

基于可信性理论的标准-3拦截弹末段修正能力分析

基于可信性理论对标准-3拦截弹末段修正能力进行分析。由拦截末段相对运动动力学推导了标准-3拦截弹末段可消除的最大零控脱靶量解析表达式;针对其中的参数不确定性,将不确定参数视为模糊变量运用可信性理论进行建模,采用模糊模拟算法得到标准-3末段可消除的最大零控脱靶量的可能性测度悲观值和乐观值,可信性测度均值和标准差及可能性、必要性和可信性分布函数。本文研究为弹道导弹中段机动突防动力系统设计提供了理论依据,同时为如何根据有限的已知信息获得合理的未知信息提供了有效途径。
