装甲兵模拟训练系统体系架构

近年来,装甲兵模拟系统建设和模拟化训练有了长足的发展,但仍然存在缺乏顶层规划、标准不一、资源不共享、模块不重用、体系不完整等诸多问题。基于体系工程建设理念,探索了装甲兵模拟训练系统体系架构,主要考虑了顶层设计,重点放在了系统的组成结构、相互关系,从总体上把握体系的整体功能、需要解决的问题,采取的技术路线。实践表明,体系架构独立于系统的具体实现技术,保证了各组成部分可以通过重用、重组等方式来适应不同阶段、不同目标和领域的装甲兵模拟训练需求,提高了系统的利用效率,降低了模拟训练系统的开发成本。     

基于数据链的航空作战进程研究

研究了数据链支持下的航空作战兵力变化问题。将空战能力指数通过映射关系转化为平均战斗力水平,从数学理论上证明了二者具有等价性。结合平均战斗力水平,建立了基于数据链的改进蓝彻斯特空战模型及具有增援力量的作战模型。仿真分析了等效实力比、不同初始值以及增援时刻的不同对空战进程的影响,结果表明数据链具有提高作战效能和改变战局的作用。实验发现了在增援作战时,存在"局部最优增援时刻点"这一重要结论。

Colonial violence and its ‘Small Wars’: fighting the Kuki ‘guerillas’ during the Great War in Northeast India, 1917–1919

ABSTRACT

This paper concerns the lesser known British counterinsurgency (COIN) operations in Northeast frontier of India during the First World War. Officially known as the ‘Kuki Operations’, it was considered as part of the Great War. Carried out in isolation from press and public, and shelved in colonial archives, the event remained invisible until today. Yet, it registers a critical case of colonial COIN doctrine where the ‘moral effect’ doctrine was employed without being questioned. It unleashed enormous amount of organized violence, ranging from shoot at sight to indiscriminate burning of villages, wholesale destruction of property and livestock, prevention of cultivation and rebuilding of villages, forced mass displacement in jungles or in ‘concentration camps’, and collective punishment (communal penal labour and payment of compensation) after the war. This paper argues that the theory of ‘minimum force’ and the practicability of the ‘moral effect’ doctrine as applied by the Empire, sit oddly with each other at the frontier, where violence was seen both as a natural and moral orders. Violence as an ‘imperatively necessary’ method to bring order in a disorderly frontier, in the opinion of colonial state, informs and registers Northeast India as geography of violence.     

基于能量耗散的药柱粘弹性累积损伤

基于不可逆能量耗散的损伤变量定义方法和动态线粘弹性理论,建立了固体推进剂累积损伤模型,利用不同拉伸速率下的试验数据,拟合得到了推进剂破坏耗散能表达式,进而给出了推进剂在周期应力响应下的累积损伤计算式,并讨论了周期应力幅值和频率对累积损伤的影响,最后对某舰载发动机药柱进行了累积损伤及使用寿命分析。提出的累积损伤分析方法,为固体发动机贮存寿命预估提供了一条有益的技术途径。     

The virtual dimension of contemporary insurgency and counterinsurgency

This paper looks at the virtual dimension of contemporary insurgency and counterinsurgency. It argues that the West is faltering in the ‘War of Ideas’ with global Jihad for the main reason that the messages that we wish to convey lack narrative coherence. This is a result of the fact that we misapprehend the nature of the virtual operational environment whereas our opponents possess an intuitive grasp of it as a result of which their structure and method of operations are better adapted and more effective than our own. There is no reason, beyond inertia, that this should remain the case.     

The inherent propensity toward peace or war embodied in weaponry

Thomas Schelling argues that armed adversaries face an inherent propensity toward peace or war embodied in their weaponry, geography and military organizations. Inherent propensity is the idea that there are characteristics embodied in the weapons that push adversaries toward peace or war, independent of the goals of the decision‐makers, the political disagreement between adversaries, and misperceptions about mutual resolve and hostility. We theoretically illustrate inherent propensity in conventional and nuclear arms settings using Lanchester and Intriligator war models. Our work extends the Intriligator‐Brito model, identifies when the competing Richardson and Intriligator‐Brito views of the relationship between arms races and war are correct, illustrates the stabilizing/destabilizing effects of alliances, and highlights the importance of arms quality control in the US‐USSR relationship.     

UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL REFORM

Much has changed since the United Nations was established in 1945. New challenges confront the organization including global warming, global diseases and global terrorism. Responding to these challenges requires continual change, adaptation and learning—a hallmark of the stewardship of current UN Secretary General Kofi Annan. In 1997 Annan announced major structural changes to streamline the organization, follow up five years later by another initiative to clarify, simplify and rationalize the organization and subsequent efforts to streamline UN peacekeeping. The UN has also forged new partnerships with civil society and the private sector. Important as these changes are, reform of the General Assembly and the Security Council hold the organization hostage to the vested interests of key member states. There are a number of options to make the Council more representative including regionalism, population distribution, economic weight, culture/religion/civilization and democracy. Clearly the largest challenge is the absence of representation for Asia, Africa and Latin America. Currently Germany, Japan, India and Brazil have strong claims—plus at least one candidate from Africa. Should these four countries decide to act in unison, they could force reform of the Security Council
