DESIGNING A VIABLE PREDICTION MARKET TO FORECAST DEFENSE ACQUISITION COST AND SCHEDULE OUTCOMES

This paper is the first to demonstrate a viable prediction market that successfully forecasts defense acquisition cost and schedule outcomes, and to provide insights for defense executive decision‐making. Already used in private industry, prediction markets can also accurately forecast outcomes and their associated risks for government programs. Using virtual money, prediction markets allow traders to ‘bet’ on some future outcome. This market mechanism turns out to be a relatively simple and accurate way to discover, aggregate, and communicate to a defense executive the collective market’s beliefs about the likelihood of an eventual outcome of an acquisition program of interest.     

The management of security incidents by private security

This article is about the management of security incidents in organisations and companies which are under the protection of private security personnel, whether in-house or contracted. Incidents can be defined as accidental or anecdotal (bird flies into a camera) to a violation of law or company policy. Managing security incidents is one of the key functions of a private security service provider. The purpose of this study is to explore the management of security incidents and the information related thereto, identify shortcomings and find solutions for managing these shortcomings. Interviews were used to gain insight from personnel within the private and government sectors which are served by the private security industry. It was found that security incidents are handled in a routine way by organisations from the different sectors. One major shortcoming is that security incidents and the information related thereto are not managed by security service providers according to an operational framework or model with the required infrastructure and resources. The significance of this study is for security incidents to be managed correctly, so that the information related thereto may be captured accurately, analysed and used proactively and reactively to improve physical protection systems, develop preventative strategies and provide actionable information products in order to reduce crime, increase detection rates and prevent losses.

一种无人机侦察能力评估模型

在无人机执行侦察任务的过程中,需要对携带传感器的无人机能力进行评估。对此,从生存性能、侦察性能和稳定性能等3个方面建立无人机侦察能力的评估指标体系,并提出一种基于熵权的组合赋权方法,将主客观信息进行融合,确定各项指标的权重,建立无人机侦察能力的评估模型。最后通过实例对该模型进行了验证。     

步进加速退化试验及其在电子产品可靠性评估中的应用

为快速评估具有高可靠、长寿命特点的电子产品的可靠性，提出了使用步进加速退化试验技术的方法。文中首先给出了步进加速退化的试验方法及基本假设，然后给出了步进退化数据向恒加退化数据的折算方法，在此基础上提出了基于伪失效寿命的步进加速退化可靠性评估算法，最后利用试验数据对该方法进行了验证。该方法与恒加退化试验相比，在保持样本量不变的基础上，可以极大地缩短试验时间，因此，具有更高的效费比。
