Explaining US and British performance in complex expeditionary operations: The civil-military dimension

A nation's structure and culture of civil-military relations are important and largely overlooked factors in explaining the performance of armed forces involved in complex expeditionary operations. The US model of ‘Huntingtonian’, divided civil-military structures and poor interagency cooperation, makes the US military less suited for complex expeditionary operations. British civil-military relations involve a Defence Ministry that conscientiously integrates military and civilian personnel, as well as extensive interagency cooperation and coordination. This ‘Janowitzean’, integrated form of civil-military relations makes the British military more likely to provide for the planning and implementation of comprehensive campaigns that employ and coordinate all instruments of power available to the state, as well as troops in the field displaying the flexibility and cultural and political understanding that are necessary in complex expeditionary operations.     

Sharing security in an era of international cooperation: unmanned aerial vehicles and the United States’ Air Force

The United States’ Air Force (USAF) has developed and used unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology to monitor and assassinate dangerous terrorists in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen. Currently, there are few countries that possess armed UAV and since the US created much of this technology, the USAF is usually part of the training that automatically accompanies the purchase of its UAVs. The research question this article attempts to answer is, “What is the extent of the United States’ Air Force assistance in the training and proliferation of UAV technology to foreign militaries?”

认知无线电专题讲座(四) 第7讲 协同频谱检测技术

认知无线电能够智能地感知频谱并在授权用户没有使用的时候伺机(opportunistic)利用其频段,从而提高频谱的利用率。频谱检测是认知无线电系统需要首先解决的问题。协同检测可以更有效地利用整个网络的资源,获得高的分集增益,使网络性能更稳定。文中简述了协同检测的基本原理,并对协同频谱检测技术进行了讨论。仿真结果表明协同可以提高检测概率、提供捷变增益(agility gain),对频谱利用率的提高有很大的贡献。     

人工神经网络的装甲兵体系作战协同效果评估

针对基于信息系统的装甲兵体系作战中的协同问题,在综合分析装甲机械化部队体系作战协同过程及信息流程的基础上,构建了基于精确性、有序性、灵活性、时效性等原则的协同效果评估指标体系,采用基于人工神经网络的多指标综合评价方法,建立基于BP神经网络的综合评价模型,并结合实证分析,利用MATLAB软件进行仿真计算,为装甲兵体系作战协同效果评估提供了较好的途径,为装甲兵指挥员更加合理地组织信息化条件下体系作战协同提供决策依据.     

中哈石油合作的安全战略及国家利益

经济快速增长时期旺盛的石油需求使中国石油进口及对外依存度不断上升,石油来源及进口安全成为保障经济安全的战略难题;中哈两国凭借资源、地缘优势和共同的利益需要,业已建立起牢固的互信关系和利益纽带,以中哈输油管道对接为契机的石油合作为我国石油安全战略和国家利益的实现提供了历史机遇,不但使我国石油来源及进口多元化有了坚实的基础和可靠的保证,从而掌握石油贸易全球化的主动权,而且可加快我国石油资源利用的市场化、国际化进程,为我国顺利完成工业化进程提供多元化的能源保障。     

论打击防范“三股势力”犯罪的立法完善

国际恐怖主义和包括“东突”势力在内的民族分裂主义、宗教极端势力和暴力恐怖势力等“三股势力”是危害我国社会和谐、国家安全的主要因素之一。坚持依法打击和防范是治本之策,但现行相关法律还存在着许多空白和不足之处,亟待完善。为此,建议国家积极与周边国家签订或完善打击防范“三股势力”的双边或多边合作协定,充实协作机构;进一步完善刑法、刑事诉讼法和刑侦、安全、边检、金融等法律在打击和防范“三股势力”犯罪方面的具体规定;适时出台《反“三股势力”法》。     

Monte Carlo方法在计算机辅助布防中的应用

借助于统计推断的有关原理,提出了一种评估多个火力单元射击一批目标教果的方法。该方法可以为防空批导武器系统的合理布置提供参考,也可以用于评估一个已布置的防空反导系统的有效防卫能力,为最大限度地利用防空反导兵器提供依据。     

Some implications of pricing bundles

In this article, we consider a problem in which two suppliers can sell their respective products both individually and together as a bundle, and study the impact of bundle pricing. Four pricing models (centralized, decentralized, coop–comp, and comp–coop) are analyzed with regard to the competition formats and sequences. As one would expect, the firms are always better off when pricing decisions are centralized. However, rather surprisingly, we find that firms may be worse off if the bundle prices are set in a cooperative way; we provide analytical characterization of those instances. Numerical studies show that these insights also hold for some nonlinear demand. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2013     

基于方位限制的反导目标指示雷达配置要求

合理部署反导目标指示雷达对提高反导作战效能起着重要作用。反导目标指示雷达部署要满足的要求有很多,而最大方位限制便是一个重要的约束条件。通过对最大方位限制条件的分析,建立了反导目标指示雷达对一条航路提供目标指示的配置要求,并以此为基础分析了反导目标指示雷达,同时对两条航路提供目标指示的配置要求,所得结论对反导目标指示雷达的部署配置具有指导意义。该方法可推广到同时对多条航路提供目标指示的情形。
