The Moral Dimension of “Global Zero”

Regrettably, moral arguments are largely absent from the current debate on nuclear disarmament. Indeed, complementing politico-strategic thinking with ethical categories could significantly strengthen the abolitionist call. To fill the gap, this article analyzes the evolution of the nuclear ethics of the Roman Catholic Church and especially its position on nuclear deterrence. If this strategy was granted interim and strictly conditioned moral acceptance during the Cold War, nuclear deterrence is today increasingly considered ineffective, an obstacle to genuine disarmament, and hence morally unjustifiable. In the new security context, the conditions for the Catholic Church's “interim nuclear ethics” have altered, and nuclear disarmament has become a feasible option and an alternative strategy to deterrence.     

基于体系对抗仿真的装甲装备体系效能评估

针对体系效能评估中仿真结果数据的转化和聚合问题,提出采用效用函数方法加以解决。首先构建了装甲装备体系作战效能的层次化指标体系,在此基础上,引入效用函数对仿真数据进行转化,然后通过加权求和得到体系的整体作战效能和作战能力。最后,通过装甲装备体系对抗仿真和效能评估实例,说明了该方法用于解决体系效能评估问题的可行性和有效性。     

应用神经网络评估舰载武器系统作战效能

为评估水面舰艇舰载武器系统作战效能,最大程度地提高舰艇整体作战能力,采用神经网络评估舰载武器系统的作战效能,按照建立BP网络模型、设计模型结构及确定训练样本的步骤,实现神经网络评估模型创建的全过程。该模型把各个评估指标作为输入,通过历史数据的训练确定神经网络输入、输出的对应关系,从而得出系统的效能值。神经网络评估模型可动态地评估舰载武器系统的作战效能,其评估过程确定的各指标项相互关系能很好地指导舰载武器的战术使用。

深弹武器系统效能分析

针对火箭深弹反潜武器系统的组成及其特点,运用可靠性理论和效能评估理论分析系统的作战效能.利用随机过程理论中的马尔可夫过程理论,采用美国工业武器系统效能咨询委员会(WSEIAC)提出的ADC效能模型,建立了系统的效能评估模型.借助Matlab工具对该效能模型进行了仿真研究,经对仿真结果分析后表明,该模型能较符合实际地反映系统各组成要素性能对系统总体效能的影响,较好地满足系统效能评价的需求,有助于系统装备的研制和战术使用决策.     

How long until midnight? Intelligence-policy relations and the United States response to the Israeli nuclear program, 1959–1985

Why did the United States fail to stop Israeli acquisition of nuclear weapons? Existing research argues that patrons such as the U.S. should have an easy time halting proliferation by militarily and economically vulnerable clients. Nevertheless, Israel acquired nuclear weapons with relatively little American opposition. Utilizing extensive primary source research, we argue that problematic intelligence-policy relations hindered U.S. efforts to arrest Israeli proliferation as (1) policymakers often gave mixed guidance to the intelligence community, resulting in (2) limited information on Israeli efforts that reinforced policy ambiguity. The results carry implications for understanding the dynamics of nuclear proliferation and intelligence-policy relations.     

War and rumours of war,do improvements in space technologies bring space conflict closer?

Combat in near-Earth orbit is emerging as a more realistic possibility. The argument here is that changes in space technologies combined with a sea change in political rhetoric is bringing the possibility of military conflict in space technologies. This movement reflects a generational shift as the original decisions regarding military conflict in space are now being reassessed by a generation who did not experience World War II or the Cold War. For these, the sanctuary approach to space activities is not as persuasive and new enhanced space technologies bring the possibility of victory or at least survival possible during a conflict in space.     

基于平衡计分卡的武器装备维修绩效评价指标体系构建

武器装备维修是武器装备维修保障的重要内容,加强装备维修绩效评价,建立科学规范的绩效评价指标体系,对深入推进装备维修工作健康发展将发挥积极作用。以平衡计分卡为研究手段,运用"5M1E"分析法,从一个内核和四个维度出发,分析武器装备维修绩效评价的影响因素,据此建立评价指标体系,并应用于装备维修管理实践,为有效提高装备维修保障效益提供有益借鉴。     

自主武器的特点及对未来战争影响 ——《无人军队：自主武器与未来战争》述评

以自主武器为代表的人工智能正在掀起一场新的军事革命。保罗·沙瑞尔所著的《无人军队：自主武器与未来战争》一书通过技术概念解释、各路专家访谈与大量战场实例,深入浅出地探讨了自主武器的内涵、特点与影响。本文基于该书内容,结合相关文献、书籍、评论等资料,首先对自主武器与无人军队的内涵、现阶段的运用情况进行简要介绍;其次,通过对自主武器技术内核的分析,简要介绍自主武器在各类战争样式的运用、存在的反为敌方利用的可欺骗性风险和故障发生后产生更严重后果的不稳定性风险;最后从三方面总结自主武器对战争其他方面的影响,即对军队建设模式提出更高要求,对国际战略稳定的双重作用以及对战争法与战争伦理道德的挑战。     

激光对抗系统在轻武器实战化训练中的应用

轻武器作战作为特种作战方式的一种,在现代战争中的地位越来越突出。本文阐述了轻武器实战化训练的短板和弱项,提出一种轻武器激光对抗系统,介绍了系统的主要构成和工作原理,并对激光对抗系统在轻武器实战化训练上展开研究。研究表明,采用激光对抗系统辅助训练能从强化轻武器基础训练效果、提升训练对抗意识、提高战斗员维稳处突能力及强化射击能力等几方面有效提高轻武器基础训练成绩和战术训练水平,为改进轻武器实战化训练提供了理论和技术支撑。
