地球模型偏差对远程弹箭弹道仿真的影响及修正

针对地球模型精确度影响远程弹箭弹道仿真的问题,分析了地球模型偏差对弹道仿真精度的影响并加以修正。采用总的地球椭球系,在已有弹道模型的基础上,分析了垂线偏差的产生机理及其对定向定位参数的影响,并由此得出弹道几何偏移随定向偏差的变化规律,研究了引力加速度初值偏差对弹道的误差累积,并对由水准面不平行性造成的实际落点高差进行了理论推导。对比仿真算例表明,考虑地球模型偏差影响的仿真结果与不考虑的情况下差别较明显,在远程条件下对弹道仿真精度的影响不容忽视。

一种基于压缩Fisher向量的目标检索方法

当前,视觉词典法(Bo VW,Bag of Visual Words)是解决目标检索问题的主要方法,但传统的Bo VW方法具有词典生成时间效率低、检索内存消耗大等问题。针对这些问题,提出了基于压缩Fisher向量的目标检索方法,该方法首先将Fisher核机制用于目标检索,它能自动降低目标图像背景带来的不利影响,然后,采用位置敏感哈希(LSH,Locality Sensitive Hashing)对Fisher向量进行压缩编码以降低计算复杂度和内存开销,使之适用于大规模数据库。实验结果表明,新方法只用几百比特就能表征一幅图像内容,对大规模目标检索有很好的适用性,且较之当前主流的压缩视觉词典法具有更高的准确率。     

基于改进模糊综合评判法的告警器能力评估

针对模糊综合评判法在告警器评估时的有效评估问题,对评估过程的指标赋权、隶属度、信息集合算子进行了研究,提出了一种改进的适合告警器的模糊综合评判方法。该方法根据最小二乘原理和离差函数,把目标规划方法应用到组合赋权之中,充分考虑了权重的主客观因素;建立了基于隶属云的评估模型,用隶属云代替隶属函数,保留了隶属度的随机特性;提出了将密度加权平均(Density Weighted Average,DWA)算子用到信息集结中,充分利用了所有的评估信息。通过对某型机载雷达告警器的有效评估,表明了该方法的合理性。     

一种强干扰环境下的相干弱目标DOA估计算法

提出了一种强干扰环境下相干弱信号的DOA估计算法。该算法通过修正的Toeplitz矩阵实现了对相干弱信号的解相干,然后将强干扰信号对应的特征矢量从信号子空间中剔除,最后利用MUSIC算法对弱信号进行DOA估计。所提算法不需要预知强干扰信号方位信息,对非平稳噪声有较好的抑制性能。此外,相对JJM算法,该算法具有更高的估计精度和正确概率,对强干扰信源具有更好的抑制性能。     

小子样下火炮连发密集度的分析与评估

针对火炮连发模式下射弹散布不完全服从正态分布,而缺乏有效密集度估计方法的问题,提出了基于二维云模型和蒙特卡罗方法相结合的火炮连发密集度估计新方法。首先应用蒙特卡罗抽样解决火炮射击样本量少的问题,然后应用二维逆向云算法对火炮射击结果进行密集度估计,最后用二维正向云发生器模拟生成新的射弹散布数据,进而直观地看出弹点分布情况。实例分析表明,该方法更符合火炮连发射弹散布真实情形,分析结果更准确可靠,从而为基地火炮连发密集度试验数据分析与评估提供了一种有效的方法。     

多波束相控阵天线角跟踪性能及测试方法

针对目前对多波束相控阵天线角跟踪性能测试研究较少的问题,首先分析了多波束相控阵天线的单脉冲和差测角方法,并对波束滑动、波束穿越及信号频率变化对角跟踪性能的影响进行了仿真分析。类比传统的雷达精度校飞试验,提出了基于飞艇的角跟踪性能测试方法,对角跟踪精度及误差范围进行测试,并利用STK软件实现了可视化。仿真分析表明,该方法可以实现对多波束相控阵天线角跟踪性能的评定并具有较高的工程应用价值。     

White hull or white elephant? Soft power and the Chinese hospital ship,the Peace Ark

Although soft power is now seen as an indispensable foreign policy tool, its efficacy has rarely been put to a rigorous empirical test. Using data from HARMONIOUS MISSIONs 2010, 2011 and 2013, this article seeks to examine the degree to which the soft power engagement missions of the Chinese hospital ship, the Peace Ark, has advanced Chinese interests. Although any conclusions drawn must be considered preliminary, as so little time has passed between the ship's visits and the current analysis, this research indicates that these missions’ impact on advancing Chinese interests was at best limited. Although observations from a single set of cases are unlikely to settle the debate between soft power advocates and detractors, it is hoped that this research will serve as a catalyst to further empirically based research on this topic.     

Sexual and gender-based violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Commitment by the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo to addressing sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) in the country is reflected in a number of international commitments and national strategies. This article traces the (slow) progress in addressing some of the most important issues relating to SGBV to which the government has committed itself. It argues that unless the underlying gender norms and unequal power relations that form the basis of gender violence, discrimination and inequality in Congolese society are addressed, SGBV will persist.     

Musket,Rank and File for Foot Guards,Lovell’s Pattern of 1838. Ne’er a Shot Fired in Anger?

The Pattern 1838 Musket was initially designed for the rank and file of the British army, it was instead issued to the elite Foot Guards. With arguably the lowest survival rate of any 19th Century British military firearm it is one of the rarest muskets to encounter today. This is its story …
