空间站平均力矩平衡姿态的气动力矩影响

为了研究空间站平均力矩平衡姿态的影响因素,建立了空间站的姿态运动模型,分析了气动力矩对空间站平均力矩平衡姿态的影响。建立了空间站的动力学与控制模型,采用典型的比例微分控制器,分别得出了两种条件下的24组平均力矩平衡姿态(Average Torque Equilibrium Attitude,ATEA),结果表明气动力矩对ATEA的影响显著。为了保持空间站ATEA,需要提供周期性的控制力矩。气动力矩引起的空间站角动量卸载和积累效应不能被忽视。

临近空间是未来作战的制高点之一,在分析了临近空间作战特点的基础上,建立了平流层飞艇编队作战模型,通过研究飞艇的信息对抗能力、防御能力及武器性能,表明激光武器比导弹更适合于平流层飞艇的临近空间作战,干扰通信系统比干扰侦察系统对作战结果的影响更大,采取一定的防御措施也不能对平流层飞艇的损失率产生较大影响.     

油料洞库油气爆炸抑制数值模拟

根据受限空间油气爆炸及抑爆过程的发展规律和机理以及爆炸燃烧和抑爆的特点,建立了基于分步反应控制机理的爆炸燃烧及抑爆模型,解决了爆炸及抑爆发展过程中火焰和压力波相互耦合机制,克服了化学反应与多相流动耦合时计算和存储方面的困难,缓解了控制方程求解时的"刚性",数值仿真结果与实验吻合较好。研究显示,火焰在传播过程中,由于受到湍流和气体流动影响,形状不断发生变化,不是一直加速传播的,而是呈一定波动范围加速传播的;在狭长受限空间内,油气混合物的爆炸压力和火焰速度会大幅升高,不加以抑制将导致严重的破坏后果;在抑爆区由于抑爆剂强烈的物理、化学抑制作用以及两相间进行的能量和动量交换,充满抑爆区的抑爆剂云(雾)能很好地阻断爆炸燃烧火焰的持续传播,从而使爆炸压力失去油气持续燃烧所提供能量的补充而迅速衰减,爆炸传播迅速得到抑制。

India’s emerging space assets and nuclear-weapons capabilities

ABSTRACT

Over the last five decades, India’s nuclear and space programs have gone through several phases, from collaboration to divorce to supportive. An interplay of two factors determined the nature of the relationship. One was the state of India’s nuclear-weapon program. The second was international conditions, especially India’s relationship with the nuclear-nonproliferation regime. In the early decades, because of the rudimentary nature of India’s nuclear and space programs, the relationship was collaborative, since the rocket technology being developed was a necessary adjunct to the nuclear-weapon program. Subsequently, as India’s rocketry capabilities and nuclear-weapon program began to mature and concerns about international sanctions under the non-proliferation regime began to grow, the two programs were separated. The Indian rocketry program was also divided, with the civilian-space and ballistic-missile programs clearly demarcated. After India declared itself a nuclear-weapon state in 1998 and the programs matured, the relationship has become more supportive. As the two programs mature further, this relationship is likely to deepen, as the nuclear-weapon program requires space assets to build a robust and survivable nuclear deterrent force.     

United States defence contractors and the future of military operations

ABSTRACT

The United States’ global strategic outlook has shifted markedly since the end of major combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. As the United States’ strategic posture shifts, the nature of military operations is simultaneously changing rapidly. Many analysts predict that cyber-operations, autonomous weapons systems, artificial intelligence, and clandestine special forces operations will be central features in future conflicts. Although often overlooked by scholars and policy analysts, defence contractors are integral to the development and implementation of these emerging categories of warfare. This inquiry examines the evolving nature of the American defence industry and the roles corporations play in current theatres of conflict. Surprisingly, rather than becoming less reliant on defence contractors after their much-maligned performance in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, American military and intelligence agencies have become more dependent on the private sector as technology becomes increasingly central to warfare.     

The Ethics of Cyber Attack: Pursuing Legitimate Security and the Common Good in Contemporary Conflict Scenarios

ABSTRACT

Cyber attack against Critical National Infrastructure is a developing capability in state arsenals. The onset of this new instrument in national security has implications for conflict thresholds and military ethics. To serve as a legitimate tool of policy, cyber attack must operate in accordance with moral concerns. To test the viability of cyber attack, this paper provides a new perspective on cyber ethics. Cyber attack is tested against the criteria of the common good. This involves identifying the four core components of the common good from a conflict perspective: respect for the person; social wellbeing; peace and security; and solidarity. The fate of these components is assessed in relation to the six key characteristics of cyber attack from a moral standpoint: security; the role or absence of violence; discrimination; proportionality; cyberharm; and the threshold of conflict. It is concluded that the common good must be incorporated into developing state cyber strategies.
