Buy now,pay later: American military intervention and the strategic cost paradox

This paper explores the notion that US efforts to evade the political costs of war paradoxically contribute to the subsequent exacerbation of costs over time. Leaders seek to purchase political capital in the short term by limiting the costs and requirements of military operations, but in doing so cause strategic and political liabilities to mount in the long run. While identification of such behaviour is not new, insufficient attention has been devoted to explaining its causes, dynamics, and manifestations in relation to key decisions on and in war. Evidence derived from studies of recent American discretionary campaigns is analysed to advance an argument with respect to this pattern of self-defeating strategic behaviour.     

基于TOPSIS的战区高层反导威胁评估

在分析战区高层反导威胁评估特点的基础上,建立了以来袭TBM发射点、预测落点、射程等为核心的战区高层反导威胁评估模型指标体系并进行了相应的量化,然后利用基于熵值权重确定的TOPSIS理论对模型进行求解。通过实例证明所提出的战区高层反导威胁评估模型和算法的有效性,对研究美军的战区高层反导武器系统具有一定的借鉴意义。     

基于复杂网络的作战网络分析

分布式网络化作战是网络中心战的基础,而分布式作战网络的构建是网络化作战的重要前提。首先,运用复杂网络的相关参数分析了多种不同的网络,选择了BA非标度网络作为分布式作战网络的最优表现形式;其次,以BA非标度网络为基础提出了一个适合军事上动态鲁棒性分析的模型DCNCE;最后,仿真结果表明,在以网络效能值为测度的对比下,分布式作战网络在介数毁伤策略下更脆弱,为构建并改进现有的作战网络提供了理论依据。

基于ICA的油库阀门内漏声发射定量检测

基于声发射原理的阀门内漏检测作为一种动态无损检测方法得到了广泛应用,但是定量检测一直是研究难点。现有的内漏率定量检测模型计算方法因参数不易测定,导致计算困难,精度不高。采用独立分量分析(ICA)方法提取声发射信号特征向量,并与参考样本集的特征向量相比较,相似程度最高的即可作为待测阀门的内漏率。内漏模拟实验分别将常规参数、频谱成分和ICA提取特征作为特征向量进行比较,结果表明ICA提取的特征向量维数为15时,均方根误差可以达到0.01 L/min,能够满足工程检测需要。     

Counterinsurgency American style: Considering David Petraeus and twenty-first century irregular war

This article examines the complex legacy of David Petraeus who was a key figure in the emergence of the US military shift towards counterinsurgency doctrine in the years after 2006. Although Petraeus has been perceived by critics as a publicity seeker, he can be credited with laying the foundations for a more serious commitment to COIN involving in particular in integrating conventional and Special Forces in arenas like village stability operations. The article looks a Petraeus's role in both Iraq and Afghanistan: it concludes that, in the case of Afghanistan, it is too early to assess whether counterinsurgency has had a decisive impact of the outcome of the war against the Taliban.     

Transformation of Military Ethics During the Zhou Dynasty in Ancient China

ABSTRACT

The transformation of the governance model from a rule of virtue to political realism in China has been a topic of great interest to scholars. In this study, I examine military culture during the Zhou Dynasty and investigate the changes in ethics based on factors such as cultural values, social customs, and political structure to understand the process by which moral values have changed as the governance model transformed from rule of virtue to political realism. I found that military ethics have changed from governance through the use of rituals during the Western Zhou Dynasty to what was called “deception makes an army” during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.     

基于不同模式的反导作战管理与敏感性分析

针对反导作战指控系统作战管理任务与过程,分别构建了层次式、中心式和分布式3种作战管理模式。基于3种管理模式,采用以仿真系统搭建作战环境进行对抗的仿真评估方法,以拦截比率（发射数/拦截数）为评估参数对不同作战管理模式的效能进行了仿真评估,同时对影响评估效能的参数进行了敏感性分析。根据分析评估结果,明确了在不同作战样式下采用不同作战管理模式的基本原则。     

高超声速飞行器组合导航体系效能评估

集合当今世界高精尖端技术的高超声速飞行器,单一或简单的组合导航方式已经无法保障其高超声速全球到达的飞行任务。研究了一种INS\GNSS\CNS组合导航体系方案,与典型的INS\GNSS组合导航系统方案相比较,并采用改进的贝叶斯法融合算法对这两种导航方案进行综合效能评估。结果证明,该评估方法切实可行,便于计算应用,证实了INS\GNSS\CNS组合导航体系保障高超声速飞行器作战能力更强。     

外辐射源雷达系统中时延估计算法及仿真

时延估计的方法有经典的广义相关法、自适应法、循环平稳法、高阶累积量法、时频分析法等,重点分析了外辐射源雷达系统中用于时延估计的循环平稳法和相关法,并给出了循环平稳法和相关法用于时延估计的仿真,得出了仿真结果。仿真结果表明,对QPSK信号无法用循环平稳的方法来进行时差的获取,用相关法在极低信噪比条件下检测出目标信号,长时间的信号积累是必需的。
