双基地雷达测向交叉定位算法的误差模型

利用双基地平面关系将空间三维问题降为平面二维处理;在分析影响定位精度因素前提下,采用合理的假定对定位方程泰勒展开,建立测向交叉定位算法的误差分析模型,并证明了测向交叉定位算法的空间位置最小均方差估计是无偏估计,通过仿真算例,可以看出建立的误差模型符合实际情况.     

A lost work of El Lobo: Lieutenant-Colonel Charles T.R. Bohannan's unpublished study of guerrilla warfare and counterinsurgency in the Philippines, 1899–1955

Charles Ted Rutledge Bohannan (1914–1982) became an integral agent of US counterinsurgency operations during the early Cold War, contributing to both the success of the COIN effort to defeat the communist Huk insurgents in the Philippines and the stalled COIN efforts in Vietnam. In the early 1960s, he wrote a short and compact analysis of the US and Filipino experience of guerrilla warfare, from the Philippine–American war until the defeat of the Huk Rebellion. It was never published. Reprinted here, Bohannan's analysis of lessons learned makes a substantial contribution to the history of American ideas of unconventional warfare by an expert who contributed these lessons to the successful defeat of an insurgency in South East Asia.     

The Tower at War 1914–18: Foreman Buckingham Goes To War

Abstract

A small part of the White Tower displays at the Royal Armouries at the Tower is marking the centenary of the First World War and the role the Tower of London played in the War, the links between the site, its staff and the great event are described. The importance of Charles ffoulkes as curator in developing the collection is emphasized. The choice of display content and the way the exhibition will change to reflect each year of the war is described, starting with material from 1914 displayed during 2014 in ‘Foreman Buckingham goes to war’.     

基于扩展卡尔曼滤波的机动目标航迹跟踪

针对高速飞行目标航迹跟踪问题,进行了扩展卡尔曼滤波的曲线拟和仿真试验研究.首先建立目标跟踪的数学模型,确定了系统对应的参数及状态方程,进而将线性卡尔曼滤波器进行扩展,将函数形式的滤波模型在函数自变量估计值附近进行泰勒级数展开,求导获得相应雅克比矩阵,在获得观测及系统误差的基础上,得到针对此问题的扩展卡尔曼滤波方程.仿真结果表明该方法的有效性.     

The Mexican War: frontier expansion and selective incursion

ABSTRACT

Mexico’s defeat in the war that (in the U.S.) takes the country’s name resulted as much from the strategic context created by unrealized nation-building that followed independence as it did from American tactical supremacy. Three centuries of Spanish empire did not translate into national military excellence due to the decades of revolutionary upheaval that followed the sudden decapitation occasioned by Napoleon’s ouster of the monarchy in Madrid. That the occupation which followed major combat provided salutary lessons learned in dealing with guerrillas rather than a Vietnam-like litany of quagmire eventuated from the conscious designs of military leadership steeped in the same Napoleonic dynamic that had produced our opponent. The United States wisely chose to leave issues of state-building and governance to the Mexicans themselves, while annexing the sparsely populated northern remnant of Spanish empire.
