基于磁强计测量的滚转弹药姿态估计

为了实时获得滚转弹药的飞行姿态信息,提出了一种速率陀螺与磁强计组合的姿态测量方案。该方案采用磁强计获得大地磁场强度在弹体三轴的投影及其变化率,结合刚体转动运动模型,利用最优估计技术获得了滚转弹药姿态信息。与单点测量方法相比,最优估计方法综合了测量信息序列,不会出现反三角函数双值失控现象,并可获得更高精度。仿真表明:陀螺无漂移时,俯仰角、偏航角的解算精度小于0.1°;采用低成本陀螺含漂移时,姿态角的解算精度小于0.4°。

Compensating military veterans in South Africa

This article outlines the widespread needs of South African military veterans and the possible consequences if the promises made in the recent Military Veterans Act are not met. The first part of the article defines who generally qualifies as a military veteran, how they are typically compensated in various countries with specific reference to neighbouring southern African countries, and what the consequences are when veterans become disenchanted with the state. The second part focuses on South Africa and the recent debates on military veterans and their entitlements. With reference to the findings of a qualitative study conducted among military veterans, parliamentary debates and media reports, an assessment is made of the demands and affordability of promised benefits and the consequences should the state not deliver. The conclusion is reached that heightened expectations are presently frustrated by slow roll-outs, and this is likely to increase the possibility of protest action. This has now the potential to create further tension within the ruling party and civil society, as the pressure on public finances mounts and demands become unsustainable. The effect this may have on political stability will depend on how the government manages this issue.     

一种面向宽带复杂信号侦察的可配置计算应用框架

可配置计算系统的优势与系统设计过程的复杂性是一对矛盾,可配置计算框架为此提供了有益的思路。但受限于适用范围与通用性考虑,已有的特别是商业框架仅支持系统的静态重构。本文针对宽带信号侦察这一特定应用领域,提出了一种功能级可配置计算应用框架BSRRCS-RCAF,该框架将领域应用中具有共性的计算与功能模块抽取和集中起来,形成二进制比特流配置文件库,并提供构建此类系统的公共服务体系。基于公共服务体系以及配置文件库,当需要修改或者重新构建宽带信号侦察系统时,只需在现有框架下动态调用配置组件库,或者遵循框架的统一设计接口完善补充组件库中的特定功能部分,整个系统设计框架将得到方便复用,便于实现基于快速重构的多种系统功能。     

机动飞行条件下基于SIFFBP算法的机载UWB SAR成像

机动飞行条件下,运动误差的幅度较大,频域运动补偿精度难以满足机载超宽带合成孔径雷达(UWB SAR)高精度成像的要求,需要采用精确的时域后向投影(Back Projection,BP)算法,然而原始BP算法的巨大计算量限制了其实际应用。提出了一种基于子图像快速因式分解BP(Sub-image Fast Factorized BackProjection,SIFFBP)算法的机动飞行条件下机载UWB SAR成像方案,并对其子孔径和子图像划分的约束关系进行了推导,给出了算法步骤,并分析了算法的计算量。仿真和实测数据处理结果表明,SIFFBP算法能够在保证处理精度的同时,大幅度提高处理效率,非常适合于机动飞行条件下的机载UWB SAR成像处理。     

GPS接收信号中线性扫频干扰的抑制

研究了阵列接收的GPS接收信号中线性扫频(LFM)干扰的抑制问题。LFM信号瞬时频率的估计是抑制干扰的关键,而要准确估计信号瞬时频率,必须抑制接收信号时频分布中交叉项干扰。本文对接收信号矢量进行白化,得到信号矢量白化后的空时频分布(STFD)矩阵。文中推出一个与传统方法获得的判决变量不同的判决变量,用该判决变量可以更加清晰地选出LFM信号在时频分布中的自项。根据时频脊点的分布估计LFM信号频率参数以及信号瞬时频率,之后即可根据瞬时频率构建陷波器滤除干扰。仿真表明该方法能够将受交叉项严重干扰的接收信号时频分布映射为清晰的接收信号自项的时频分布,在数据快拍数满足一定要求时可以很好地抑制掉LFM干扰。

结合流形滤波的矩阵信息几何检测器

针对小样本、非均匀杂波下的信号检测问题,提出一种基于流形滤波的矩阵信息几何检测器,将信号检测问题转化为矩阵流形上的几何问题。将每一个样本的相关性数据建模为一个托普利兹正定矩阵,在此基础上,利用每一个样本数据的邻近矩阵进行加权平滑滤波,去除一部分杂波能量,提升目标与杂波间的区分性。计算了辅助样本数据对应矩阵的几何均值,通过比较待检测样本数据矩阵与几何均值矩阵之间的距离与检测门限的大小,以实现信号检测。实验结果表明,与自适应匹配滤波相比,本文方法在小样本、非均匀杂波下具有明显的性能优势。     

One size does not fit all: personalized incentives in military compensation

A critical element in implementing a compensation scheme including nonmonetary incentives (NMIs) is recognizing that preferences vary widely across Service members. There are at least three sources of variability: across different population classes, across individuals within a population class, and across NMI packages for a particular individual. Surveys across different military communities, ranks, and years of Service show the difficulty of identifying any NMI that has significant value for even 50% of the active duty force. At the same time, approximately 80% of the surveyed Service members expressed a significant positive value for at least one NMI. Therefore, one-size-fits-all incentive packages will not be nearly as effective as more personalized incentive packages. The authors discuss variability in Service member NMI preferences and outline an approach to implementing personalized NMI packages in military compensation through a sealed-bid reverse auction, where Service members select individual NMIs from a “cafeteria-style” menu of options.
