乔治·肯尼将军略传

乔治·丘吉尔·肯尼(George Churchill Kenney)将军是第二次世界大战太平洋战场的美国远东空军司令。这是一个特殊的战场,开战之初,华盛顿即已确定“欧洲优先”战略,太平洋战场的美军因此只能获得最少限度的资源,同时,所有去太平洋战场任职的指挥官还都必须面对一位美国历史上最难处的特殊人物。肯尼将军的故事即在此展开。 从“多面手”到“救火队” 乔治·肯尼1889年8月6日出生于马萨诸塞州布鲁克林。早年他曾就读于著名的麻省理工学院。此后,他师从传奇飞行员伯特·阿科斯塔(Bert Acosta)学习飞行。学习期间,肯尼即表现出过人的冷静和自信。在首次单飞着陆时,肯尼就遇上了发动机停车。但他沉着地将飞机降了下来。阿考斯塔问道:“年轻人,停车着陆,你感觉如何?”年轻的肯     

柏林谍影

1944年6月,盟军诺曼底登陆之后,美国战略情报局(中央情报局前身)曾先后向德国占领区派遣了200余名间谍,这些间谍包括教会人员、西班牙内战老兵、政治难民以及地下劳工组织成员,他们为西线战场的胜利做出了独特的贡献。他们中最为重要和成功的是来自“自由德国组织”的7位英雄。但关于他们的故事由于种种原因直到今天才得以公开。     

海战场态势评估问题的研究

对海战场综合态势进行态势评估和威胁分析是信息融合系统的最高层级,态势评估结果将对指挥员的指挥决策起到非常重要的作用。根据海军作战理论分析了海战场态势的表示方法,并基于模板方法设计了一种战场当前态势与模板数据库中态势进行匹配的算法。该算法特别适用于高层推理如态势或威胁评估。

用于核动力攻击潜艇的全综合容错(FIFT)指挥、控制、通信和测量(C~3I)系统

目前,美国实用的潜艇用电气和电子系统设计实际上是彼此独立的。这样的实践限制了利用过去几十年所获得的技术进步的优点。为了使潜艇平台的能力最大化,必须综合传统的、具有类似处理和通信要求的各个系统。本文研究和分析一种可能的称之为FIFT C~3I系统的实现,该系统综合支援潜艇任务的所有主要的电气和电子系统。这样的系统必须有容错能力,以致于使综合系统的可靠性、可用性和安全性等于或优于要替换的现有系统。这种方法的优点很多且可用现有技术和部件实现。     

Aerial multi-spectral AI-based detection system for unexploded ordnance

Unexploded ordnance(UXO) poses a threat to soldiers operating in mission areas, but current UXO detection systems do not necessarily provide the required safety and efficiency to protect soldiers from this hazard. Recent technological advancements in artificial intelligence(AI) and small unmanned aerial systems(sUAS) present an opportunity to explore a novel concept for UXO detection. The new UXO detection system proposed in this study takes advantage of employing an AI-trained multi-spectral(MS...     

High-Velocity Projectile Impact Behaviour of Friction Stir Welded AA7075 Thick Plates

In this study, high velocity impact behaviour of friction stir welded AA7075-T651 25 mm thick plates were investigated using a 7.62 mm × 51 mm lead core and 7.62 mm × 39 mm steel core projectiles. Prior to ballistic trails, mechanical and metallurgical properties of friction stir welded AA 7075-T651 25 mm thick plates were studied. Microstructural and hardness studies revealed that friction stir welds constituted three distinct regions namely Weld Nugget(WN), Thermo-Mechanically Affected Zone(TM...     

Burning rate analysis of laser controlled 5-aminotetrazole propellant

As an innovative propulsion technique, laser augmented chemical propulsion(LACP) seems superior to the traditional ones. However, the corresponding combustion theories have still to be ascertained for LACP. Burning rate of 5-aminotetrazole(5-ATZ) propellant has been studied by testing pressed samples under different combustor pressures and laser powers. Based on micro computed tomography(Micro CT),an advanced thickness-over-time(TOT) method to characterize the regression of the produced nonplana...     

Microwave absorption properties of carbonyl iron-based paint coatings for military applications

The paper explores the possibilities of using carbonyl iron in the form of a powder for the manufacture of radar-absorbing paints-reducing the radar signature of the objects that they cover. The attenuation values in the range of 4-18 GHz for various coating thicknesses, ranging from 0.5 to 2.00 mm with 0.5 mm increment, and for different absorber content-75% and 80%, as well as the use of two different binders in the form of epoxy resins with hardeners, were investigated. For the frequency of 1...     

使用低分辨率雷达和神经网络进行舰船目标识别

本文研究使用低分辩率下靶区雷达包络线、预处理和神经网络工具进行舰船目标分类的方法。文中使用改进的傅里叶离散梅林变换来提取对雷达姿态角变化不太敏感的某些特征。使用Kohonen的学习矢量量化(LVQ)自组织映射对这些特征矢量进行分类。文中也研究了使用反向传播算法进行训练的前馈网络在目标分类中的应用,并将这一分类系统用于模拟和真实两种数据。对于目标姿态角误差不超过30度的真实数据,分类的正确率高达90％。
