A chessboard model of the U‐boat war in the Atlantic with applications to signals intelligence

This paper uses a simple Monte Carlo model to analyze the influence of signals intelligence on the Second World War's Battle of the Atlantic. The principle measure of effectiveness is the number of U‐boat days of attack to which convoys were subjected. A secondary measure is the number of convoyed ships sunk. The model is validated against historical data and then used to explore the effectiveness of the two sides' signals intelligence. Allied use of signals intelligence is shown to have been capable of completely offsetting German use of signals intelligence, and then some. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Small world,big guns: globalization,interstate security networks and conventional weapons imports

With the burgeoning influence of emerging markets in Asia, a tectonic shift is taking place in the global security landscape. Asian states are concomitantly arming as their economic clout grows. In light of these developments, security analysts would benefit from a formal means of placing these arms acquisitions in a structural context. Are arms acquisitions on par with the expectations of Asian states, given their structural dispositions, or are recent acquisitions beyond anticipated levels? By using a dynamic panel regression of 187 states from 1950 to 2011, this research predicts arms import volume using the degree of interstate arms linkages, the size of a state's military, and its level of economic development. The technique offers analysts a formal means of distinguishing orthodox behavior in importing conventional weapons from extraneous security motivations. The article concludes by generating near-term forecasts of Asian arms imports and discussing the implications of the technique.     

基于菱形模板的摄像机标定方法

在传统的基于平面模板的摄像机标定算法和基于3个非线性点在特定运动下的标定算法的基础上,提出了一种基于菱形模板的摄像机标定算法,本算法只需要知道菱形的一个夹角就能标定出摄像机的内参数矩阵。弥补了传统算法在标定时需要知道特征点世界坐标的不足,减少了制定模板世界坐标带来的误差;同时本算法不需要菱形特征点做任何运动,避免了旋转特征点带来的人为误差。该算法的标定精度仅取决于特征点检测的精度,实验结果验证了该文算法的有效性。     

由“波音737max事件”引发的对信息智能时代武器装备质量管理的思考

本文基于"波音737max事件"这一新世纪以来最严重的系列空难,对事件发生过程进行还原性概述,发现空难事故主要由于硬件装备设计与软件装备质量存在问题,指出了波音公司的质量管理在认识程度、管理体系、信息交流和检测方法等方面存在问题,由此引发出对信息智能时代武器装备质量管理的思考。本研究以"波音737max事件"为基础,围绕信息智能时代特点,结合我国装备质量管理存在的问题,对加强信息智能时代武器装备质量管理提出了树立正确认识、完善质量管理体系、加强信息交流和强化人才队伍建设等建议,以期为强军之旅保驾护航。     

区块链技术下的智能安全可靠支付系统设计

为了增强支付系统的安全性和可靠性,设计了一种区块链技术下的智能支付系统。这个系统利用区块链的去中心化和分布式账本特性,提供了一种更加安全和透明的支付解决方案。系统将区块链技术、国密算法与支付系统相结合,给传统互联网支付系统提供一个更安全的保障。利用区块链技术的点对点特点,解决支付效率和数据安全等方面的问题。借助互联网大数据技术,对用户进行信用评级,提供信贷服务。结合跨链技术可以对不同区块链的数据进行共享,更好地解决资金流动性。相比比特币和以太坊等电子货币系统,该系统在安全性、交易吞吐率和交易时延等方面做到了权衡发展,使得各方面的性能有了一定程度的均衡提升,更能满足当前环境下的应用需要。     

The strategy of the organisation of Ukrainian nationalists in its quest for a sovereign state, 1939–1950

ABSTRACT

The armed resistance offered by the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) to the Soviet state was the toughest internal political challenge that the Soviet regime faced from World War II to the 1980s. However, OUN’s grand strategy was based on self-delusion and was, therefore, always irrational. It resulted in misinterpretation of the sentiments of Ukrainians and the international situation, collaboration with Nazi Germany despite incompatible goals, counterproductive ethnic violence and sweeping terror against alleged Soviet collaborators. Local civilians rather than the representatives of the Soviet regime were OUN’s primary target; this alienated most residents of Western Ukraine.     

Tarnishing victory? Contested histories & civil–military discord in the U.S. Navy, 1919–24

ABSTRACT

As the First World War came to an end, the U.S. Navy's leadership engaged in a bitter fight over the “lessons” of the war. Admiral William S. Sims and Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels fought against each other's irreconcilable positions. Sims argued that the Navy Department's inexpert civilian secretary had hamstrung mobilisation, impeded the anti-submarine campaign, and ostracised capable officers in favour of friends upon whom he bestowed medals. Daniels countered that his administration had masterfully responded to the crisis of war. The Navy's record, Daniels insisted, could best be summarised as “a great job greatly done.” Only disloyal nit-pickers could find fault in its accomplishments. The Sims-Daniels controversy raged in congressional hearings, the press, and in partisan histories written by the protagonists. The heart of the dispute and its uncertain resolution rested in radically different understandings of American civil–military relations, naval heroism, and the determinants of victory.
