Private military contractors’ financial experiences and incentives

ABSTRACT

This article analyses findings from an original survey of 187 private military contractors on their incentives for working in the industry. Perceptions of contractors as “greedy, ruthless, and unscrupulous mercenaries” shape both public and military opinions of outsourcing and may impact U.S. military effectiveness, civil–military relations, and contractor identity. We find that contractors are motivated by a range of factors and that their financial experiences are not clearly more positive than that of state military troops. We recommend broad education of military and defense officials and the public in the U.S. and other relevant nations, regarding the true incentives of modern-day, Western contractors, in an effort to dispel misperceptions, increase effective utilisation of contractors, and beneficially shape PMC-military coordination. DoD may consider integrating such training into its current efforts to improve outsourcing, including its Joint OCS Planning and Execution Course, pre-deployment fora, and curricula of advanced military studies schools.     

近期美国海军南海地区活动态势分析

随着南海地区力量结构和美对华战略的转变，南海地区成为中美战略博弈的焦点。为围堵遏制中国的崛起，美国针对中国在南海实施了一系列海上挑衅行为。美国海军作为美国军事干预的主要力量，从兵力部署、演习演训、“航行自由”行动等着手，积极拉拢域内外盟友，展开并强化了在南海地区的军事活动。这些军事活动表现出极强的针对性和实战性，致使中美海上摩擦和竞争加剧。未来，美国为维护主导的全球秩序，将进一步提升美国海军在南海地区的威慑力。美国海军会借助并增加域内盟友的军事力量，继续维持高强度的装备平台活动及“航行自由”行动，推动海上力量合作。     

Innovation for seapower: U.S. Navy strategy in an age of acceleration

ABSTRACT

A call for innovation as a means to outpace the acceleration of technological change and to bolster capabilities quickly is a central theme of contemporary U.S. Naval Strategy. The need for innovation is accepted, but the integration of readily available technologies into the Fleet is slow. Innovation unfolds according to “Navy-Time,” a cycle lasting between a long-decade and thirty-years. To accelerate the innovation process in the U.S. Navy, the article offers a Concept of Operations for Innovation that outlines how a deliberate process of analysis, weaponisation and integration can move new ideas and weapons into the Fleet in a strategically relevant time-frame.     

What U.S. Navy strategists and defense planners should think about in the era of maritime great power competition

ABSTRACT

For the first time in a generation, the US Navy finds itself in an era of great power competition. As US naval strategists and defense planners begin to organise materially and conceptually to confront the strategic and operational-level challenges posed by China and Russia, what should they keep in mind? What should frame their thinking? Absorbed with the day-to-day tasks associated with managing how the fleet is being built, operated, and rationalised, these busy officers and civilians seldom can step back and gain some perspective on fundamental aspects of the security environment and relate those to naval purpose. To that end, this article provides a primer on what to keep in mind and how to think in an era of maritime great power competition.     

Exact analysis of (R,s, S) inventory control systems with lost sales and zero lead time

We study an (R, s, S) inventory control policy with stochastic demand, lost sales, zero lead‐time and a target service level to be satisfied. The system is modeled as a discrete time Markov chain for which we present a novel approach to derive exact closed‐form solutions for the limiting distribution of the on‐hand inventory level at the end of a review period, given the reorder level (s) and order‐up‐to level (S). We then establish a relationship between the limiting distributions for adjacent values of the reorder point that is used in an efficient recursive algorithm to determine the optimal parameter values of the (R, s, S) replenishment policy. The algorithm is easy to implement and entails less effort than solving the steady‐state equations for the corresponding Markov model. Point‐of‐use hospital inventory systems share the essential characteristics of the inventory system we model, and a case study using real data from such a system shows that with our approach, optimal policies with significant savings in inventory management effort are easily obtained for a large family of items.     

基于MVC的分布式作战应用框架研究

MVC作为一种经典的软件模式,在界面程序设计和B/S系统中得到了广泛应用.随着分布式技术的发展,MVC的含义和用途变得更加广泛,不仅可以用于组件的构造,也可用于分布式程序的设计.针对MVC模式和分布式作战应用的特点进行了深入分析,提出了一种基于MVC的分布式作战应用框架,在保持传统C/S架构优势的同时,增强了系统的可扩展性,实现了业务流程和逻辑计算的有效分离,为大型C/S作战应用系统的开发提供了一个有效的架构解决方案.     

谈奥巴马时代美国的联合国政策

奥巴马对联合国政策的调整，反映出奥巴马政府全球外交和安全战略的需要，体现了实用主义外交风格。较之于其前任，奥巴马将更加重视联合国维和行动，并让联合国更多地参与解决包括伊拉克和阿富汗在内的热点问题。奥巴马的联合国政策面临挑战，联合国仅仅是奥巴马实现美国国家利益的手段之一。

石墨烯电声换能器的设计与对比

为了使石墨烯电声换能器获得最优性能，主要针对石墨烯热致发声器件和静电式发声器件进行了发声机理研究，通过理论建模和分析，得到了薄膜尺寸、厚度以及应力等结构参数对两种电声换能器的频率响应特性的影响规律。通过微纳加工制造方法设计和制备了一批不同结构参数下的电声换能器，并对这些器件进行了性能测试和对比分析，结果表明：薄膜厚度对热致电声换能器发声声压影响显著，即薄膜越薄，该电声换能器的发声声压越大；薄膜半径、厚度和应力对静电式电声换能器的频带影响较大，即薄膜半径越大，厚度越薄，应力越小，该电声换能器频带越宽。以上研究为优化选取石墨烯电声换能器的类型，优化设计结构参数，提升器件发声性能奠定了基础。
