U.S.–RUSSIAN NUCLEAR COOPERATION AND THE CTBT

Post-Cold War “lab-to-lab” collaborations on unclassified scientific issues between U.S. and Russian nuclear weapons laboratories set the stage for bilateral cooperation in materials control and other nuclear areas. They also became the major element in a cooperative process initiated by a Presidential Decision Directive to ensure Russia's compliance with the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty. These collaborations have always been highly favored by leaders of the Russian nuclear weapons complex—the same leaders who oversee Russia's participation in various government-to-government programs. This article reviews these collaborations and examines the possibility that U.S. rebuffs of Russian proposals and the U.S. failure to keep promises of expanded collaboration could contribute to Russia's reluctance in major programs and even lead to a return to nuclear testing by Russia. The author argues that a renewed U.S. commitment to the process should be an immediate goal of the Obama administration and is an essential step in re-engaging Russia to solve the nuclear problems remaining from the Cold War. Steps for doing so are recommended.     

An Imperfect Jewel: Military Theory and the Military Profession

This article explores a perennial theme in the literature of strategic studies: the relationship between military theory and the military profession. It begins with a conceptual analysis of this relationship. It then investigates what military theorists themselves have had to say about the utility of their craft. It concludes by assessing the actual influence of military theory on selected individuals and institutions. The individuals are George S. Patton, Jr., and Ulysses S. Grant. The institutions are the United States Army and the United States Air Force in the late twentieth century. The fundamental finding is suggested in the title: military theory can indeed be quite useful in the maturation of military commanders and in the development of martial institutions, but it is not always necessary and by no means perfect. It should thus be studied assiduously but used with caution.     

Gorshkov's Gambit

This article is a portrait of Admiral Sergei Gorshkov, commander of the Soviet Navy for almost three decades, from 1956–85. The author, a retired US Navy admiral with a Harvard PhD in Russian studies who served as both defense and naval attaché in Moscow, draws on numerous face-to-face interactions with Gorshkov. He also explores Gorshkov's memoirs that were published recently in Russia but have not appeared in an English translation. The paper is not only a first-hand account of an important historical figure, but also a window into the world of military-to-military diplomacy and intelligence during the Cold War.

波浪扰动下的小型潜射导弹出水动力学建模与仿真

运用Morison公式,提出波浪扰动作用下,考虑弹体运动与波浪耦合的导弹出水过程动力学模型,并对小型潜射导弹的出水过程进行仿真和分析。以弹体姿态变化为例,研究弹体运动与波浪间的耦合关系对波浪扰动作用的影响,分析海情等级、波浪相位、出水速度、出水姿态角等因素对导弹出水过程的影响。结果表明,考虑弹体运动与波浪间耦合关系的出水动力学模型更加准确;潜射导弹的小型性和快速出水特性有利于降低波浪对导弹出水姿态的影响;对快速出水的潜射导弹,波浪扰动分析时须考虑海情等级、出水时间和波浪相位的影响。     

动力伞8自由度动力学建模与仿真

现有文献中的翼伞建模方法多数是针对不带动力情况下的翼伞建模,不能适应动力翼伞的飞行控制。为了实现动力伞的有效控制,首先要建立合理的动力学模型。假设翼伞承载物和软翼之间具有2个自由度,分别建立软翼和承载物体坐标系下的作用力和力矩的平衡方程,通过体坐标系转换和消除翼伞内部状态量,得到有利于实现翼伞控制的8自由度非线性状态方程。仿真表明模型的飞行曲线与飞行实验的结果相一致,验证了模型的有效性。
