Bernard Fall and Vietnamese Revolutionary Warfare in Indochina

This article assesses Bernard Fall’s concept of Vietnamese Revolutionary Warfare in Indochina between 1953 and 1958. It also investigates differences in the conceptualization of Revolutionary Warfare between Fall and proponents of French military doctrine known as la guerre révolutionnaire. The last component of the article considers limits of Fall’s influence on counterinsurgency doctrine.     

一种适用于UHF频段军事卫星通信的高效传输方案

特高频(UHF)频段由于其良好的通信性能,正愈发广泛地应用于军事卫星通信,尤其是卫星移动通信,然而由于该频段信道所受干扰和固有衰落的限制,UHF在卫星通信中的应用并非一帆风顺。如何提高系统通信容量及在干扰环境下的信道可用率是目前UHF频段军事卫星通信发展所面临的主要挑战。文章在分析UHF频段卫星通信特点的基础上,简要介绍了具有良好性能的低密度校验码(LDPC)码和连续相位调制(CPM)方式,并结合UHF频段的卫星信道特点,提出了一种新的发展对策——LDPC+CPM+FH的串行级联通信方案,最后对方案进行了建模和计算机仿真。     

When Peacekeepers Fail Thousands are Going to Die. The ETO in Rwanda: a Story of Deception

This study develops the concepts of fourth generation operations and the associated principles. First, the concept of fourth generation operations is introduced and defined. Fourth generation operations are the evolution and extension of third and fourth generation warfare based on a change of tactics, technology, and combatants. These operations are currently ongoing in Afghanistan and Iraq, and with the global war on terrorism. Based on the framework of US joint doctrine, the supporting principles of fourth generation operations are developed. This requires the introduction of the principle of Population Perception.     

基于准循环双对角阵的LDPC码编码算法

针对校验矩阵形如准循环双对角阵的结构化LDPC码,对比研究了两类高效的编码算法:矩阵分解编码算法和分项累加递归编码算法,证明了两类算法从实现角度是等价的,但分项累加递归编码算法推导更为直观,且便于硬件并行实现。基于分项累加编码算法,提出了一种适合准循环双对角LDPC码的部分并行编码结构,设计实现了IEEE 802.11n标准中的LDPC码编码器。FPGA实现结果表明,所设计的LDPC编码器具有硬件开销较小、吞吐率高的优点,在码长为1944bit、码率为5/6时信息比特吞吐率最高可达13Gbps。     

GPS L1C信号LDPC译码器设计

GPS现代化中的L1C信号使用了LDPC码,以提高接收机的弱信号接收能力。L1C信号中使用的LDPC码没有循环或准循环结构,这为译码器设计带来了难度。为了降低译码器实现复杂度,在分析L1C信号LDPC码校验矩阵结构的基础上,通过对校验节点分类和改变变量节点更新方法,提出了一种低存储量和简化译码器控制逻辑的低复杂度译码器结构,并通过仿真验证了译码器译码结果的正确性。     

‘Immediate redress’: USS Potomac and the pirates of Quallah Batoo

Maritime interests in the twenty-first century are not immune to the growing number of irregular challenges and hybrid threats that have come to dominate land warfare. In order to better understand these challenges a study of naval history can help provide a vital foundation. In the early 1830s the United States Navy dispatched the frigate USS Potomac to Sumatra to investigate a pirate attack on the spice trader Friendship. Potomac's crew of sailors and Marines conducted a landing at the village Quallah Batoo and fought a pitched battle. As the navies of the world approach naval irregular warfare in the new century, studying past examples like Potomac's mission can help illuminate the principles of successful naval irregular warfare.     

Non-lethal weapons and the long tail of warfare

This paper examines whether non-lethal weapons (NLWs) enhance the capability of the US armed forces to conduct irregular warfare (IW) operations. With expectations that the operational environment will only continue to become more complex in the future, NLWs may reduce the level of violence received, as well as dispensed, by US forces while performing tasks in the IW spectrum. We argue that NLWs increase the ability of US forces to address the long tail of warfare and their deployment should be increased in the near term.     

SWATH船纵向运动性能分析

根据切片理论编制了SWATH船在规则波及不规则波中的纵向运动理论预报程序.分析了航速对SWATH船在不规则波中迎浪纵向运动响应的影响规律.并研究了鳍的位置、尺度、组合形式对SWATH船纵向运动性能的影响.结果表明,中高速航行有利于发挥SWATH船优越的耐波性;增大鳍的尺度、使用艏艉组合鳍能提高SWATH船在不规则波中的纵向运动性能.
