地空导弹阵地选择的模糊综合评判

选择地空导弹阵地是地空导弹部队作战指挥决策的必要环节和重要内容,阵地选择的好坏直接影响到导弹性能的发挥和防空任务的实现.由于阵地选择受到很多非量化因素的影响,单纯定性分析很难给出科学合理的评价结果,所以必须定性、定量相结合进行综合评判.通过对影响地空导弹阵地选择各因素的全面分析,建立了阵地选择的因素指标体系,给出了阵地选择的综合评判模型和评判方法,并通过实例验证了该模型和方法对评估和优选地空导弹阵地的可行性和实用性.     

对空观察哨情报融合

在得到对空观察哨直接观测信息的基础上,对目标可能航向进行二次外推,并利用效用函数综合评估法对目标相关性进行检验,完成对目标信息的融合,解决了观察哨情报数据关联和航迹外推问题.仿真及试验结果表明该方法用于防空观察哨情报融合是可行的,其结果分析的应用能指导观察哨训练和战时观察哨的配置.     

Private military contractors’ financial experiences and incentives

ABSTRACT

This article analyses findings from an original survey of 187 private military contractors on their incentives for working in the industry. Perceptions of contractors as “greedy, ruthless, and unscrupulous mercenaries” shape both public and military opinions of outsourcing and may impact U.S. military effectiveness, civil–military relations, and contractor identity. We find that contractors are motivated by a range of factors and that their financial experiences are not clearly more positive than that of state military troops. We recommend broad education of military and defense officials and the public in the U.S. and other relevant nations, regarding the true incentives of modern-day, Western contractors, in an effort to dispel misperceptions, increase effective utilisation of contractors, and beneficially shape PMC-military coordination. DoD may consider integrating such training into its current efforts to improve outsourcing, including its Joint OCS Planning and Execution Course, pre-deployment fora, and curricula of advanced military studies schools.
