基于粒子群优化的点云场景拼接算法

多视点三维点点云场景拼接是解决激光三维主动成像目标自遮挡或被遮挡情况下目标数据不完全问题的一种有效方法,它将直接影响到后续的目标检测与识别处理。本文提出了一种基于粒子群优化（PSO）的点云拼接算法,该方法通过投影分布熵对待拼接场景姿态进行估计,由此获取场景拼接的初值,然后利用PSO实现多视点场景的精确拼接。仿真实验结果表明,本文方法是一种有效可行的方法。     

多系统组合精密单点定位性能分析

文章提出在数据预处理之前进行钟跳探测与修复以避免周跳探测误判,而后对非差无电离层组合载波相位观测值进行星间单差,避免接收机钟差解算,有效降低了对伪距观测值随机模型建模精度的要求,最后给出了抗差Kalman滤波PPP解算模型。利用GPS、GLONASS、BDS数据,对单、双、三系统PPP定位精度和收敛时间进行了分析,得出了以下结论：三系统PPP技术无论定位精度还是收敛速度均是最优的,加强多系统组合导航定位有利于提高导航定位精度。

Fragmented forces: The development of the Gambian military

This article provides a detailed look at the history of the Gambia Armed Forces (GAF), a military that has received very little academic attention within the study of African state security forces. It identifies key turning points in the GAF’s history, and highlights the vastly different roles the military played in the state under President Jawara (1965–94) and President Jammeh (1994–2017). Yet, it also highlights important similarities regarding internal patterns within the armed forces and shows the ways in which these continuities may challenge attempts to restructure the security sector. The article draws on archival research and interviews conducted with retired and active duty Gambian military personnel, government officials, and Gambian scholars.     

自由曲面慢刀伺服车削及刀具参数确定方法

自由曲面光学元件具有优越的光学性能,在现代光学系统中得到越来越广泛的应用。慢刀伺服是单点金刚石车削自由曲面的新技术。由于自由曲面面形的复杂性以及慢刀伺服车削技术的特殊性,刀具与工件的相对位置关系也更加复杂,必须对刀具与工件表面的相对几何关系深入研究,从而确定合适的刀具参数。从原理上对慢刀伺服车削技术的特殊性进行了分析。分别基于过轴心截面曲线特性和基于NURBS曲面整体特性研究了刀具参数确定方法。以正弦阵列表面工件为例,验证了这两种分析方法。     

西点军校管理文化特点及启示

西点军校管理文化,是西点在200多年的发展过程中形成的行为方式、管理制度、价值标准和道德规范。西点军校管理文化的特点集中体现在：造就国家精英的目标文化、落后必遭淘汰的竞争文化、没有任何借口的执行文化、英雄就在身边的激励文化、决不容忍欺骗的诚信文化、团结就是力量的团队文化等方面。借鉴西点管理文化,我军院校应注重素质培养、造就一流人才,突出思想教育、提升职业品格,健全体制机制、强化管理效果,不断改善我军院校管理,真正担负起培养高素质军事人才的重任。     

Country survey III — Defence spending in West Germany

This survey article deals with defence spending in West Germany from 1960 on, and the resulting manpower levels and major weapons of the Federal Armed forces, focusing on macro‐economic aspects. Statistics compiled from a variety of published and unpublished sources are presented in 16 tables. An econometric defence‐spending function is derived for the period. For comparison, the equivalent data of East Germany from the last years is also presented. The small set of developments in the next few years that can be predicted firmly are discussed.     

An Unlikely Alliance: Portuguese and South African Airpower in Angola, 1968–1974

The war that Portugal was obliged to fight in Africa began in 1961 and immediately stretched the resources of its armed forces. Nowhere was this thinness more apparent than in policing the vast territory of Angola. The east and southeast of Angola were particularly vulnerable, as the area was a vast, sparsely populated region characterised by enormous featureless plains or chanas covered in tall grass and broken by an extensive river system and mountainous forests. The only military solution to policing these immense spaces was aviation and specifically the helicopter that could carry troops into battle, protect them with a gunship and bring them home when the operation was concluded. The immediate problem for the Portuguese Air Force (Força Aérea Portuguesa or FAP) in Angola and elsewhere was a scarcity of helicopters. The solution was an alliance with South Africa, which had a strong inventory of Alouette IIIs, to help in policing the east. This move was likewise in the interest of South Africa, as its threat came from Zambia through south-eastern Angola. This article examines the strategic and tactical development of this unusual, cross-cultural alliance and the symbiotic relationship that resulted in destruction of the enemies of both in Angola.     

The danger of “hybrid warfare” from a sophisticated adversary: the Russian “hybridity” in the Ukrainian conflict

The term “hybrid warfare” is a new one that the West began to use to explain its failure to cope with asymmetric threats. Focusing on the war on global terrorism, the West temporarily withdrew its attention from traditional adversaries, such as Russia, which has used this gap and has audaciously returned to the stage as a global actor. Until the Russian annexation of the Crimean Peninsula in 2014 and inflaming the Ukrainian crisis, most Western authors attributed “hybrid threats” mostly to non-state actors. But the Ukrainian scenario showed the true face of “hybridity” in the modern battlefield when practised by a powerful state actor. Russian “hybrid warfare” in Ukraine has already been seen as a combination of conventional and unconventional methods, that have been complemented with other instruments of national power – diplomatic, economic and information. The purpose of this article is, through an analysis of the Ukrainian scenario, to demonstrate that although the term “hybrid” is new, the concept itself is old and is a continuation of already seen doctrine from the Cold War era. Although “hybrid threats” can come both from state and non-state actors, the Russian interference in Ukraine is proof that they are especially dangerous for the West if, or when, they are initiated from a traditional, sophisticated adversary that has the capacity to use all forms of warfare.
