The practice and theory of British counterinsurgency: the histories of the atrocities at the Palestinian villages of al-Bassa and Halhul, 1938–1939

This article details two largely unreported atrocities by British forces operating against Arab rebels during the Arab revolt, 1936–9, at the Palestinian villages of al-Bassa and Halhul. It then examines the military-legal system that underpinned and authorised British military forces operating in aid of the civil power, suggesting that the law in place at the time allowed for a level of reprisals and punitive actions, such as happened at al-Bassa and Halhul. The article does not conclude that the law allowed for atrocities but it does argue that it gave a basic form and understanding to an operational method that was brutal and could lead to atrocities. It thus tests the idea in much of the literature on counterinsurgency that the British were restrained and used minimum force when compared to other colonial and neo-colonial powers fighting insurgents.     

军事指挥类期刊对军事学术研究的透视

军事指挥类期刊主要依靠各级军事指挥员,服务于部队全面建设。在军事学术研究队伍不断发展壮大的今天,军事指挥类期刊为部队“能打仗、打胜仗”军事理论研究服务,但军事学术研究存在着研究群体优势和合成作战理论优势发挥不够的问题。因而,要高度重视军事学术研究人才培养,加大经费投入,强化军兵种之间合成作战理论研究的力度。     

基于OPN的军事信息服务组合模型构建方法

介绍了军事信息服务的基本含义,给出了基于对象Petri网的军事信息服务组合模型的形式化描述方法,构建了军事信息服务组合模型的基本结构,并针对一个具体的防空反导作应用案例,使用国防科大对象Petri网建模仿真环境工具开发了相应的军事信息服务组合模型,并对组合服务进行了简要分析。实践表明,该方法能满足军事信息服务组合模型构建的需要,并具有良好的服务建模与仿真分析能力。     

基于MC-CNN网络的磁性舰船目标运动参数估计

传统磁性目标运动估计效果依赖于目标的初始状态信息,为克服这一缺陷,建立了磁性运动目标三分量投影模型,并据此生成了磁性舰船运动目标在运动速度、航向、信噪比等参数变化情况下的10类目标的训练数据集、验证数据集以及测试数据集。进一步,设计了多通道卷积神经网络（MC-CNN）对目标的正横距离和运动速度进行了估计,并比较和分析了不同的学习方式和激活函数对网络性能的影响,结果表明Adam+tanh的组合方式的估计性能要优于其它的组合方式,而且对磁性目标运动参数的估计效果比较精确,此方法相较于卡尔曼滤波、粒子滤波等估计算法的优越性在于运算复杂度低以及参数估计不需要目标初始状态信息。     

军用软件的测试与实践方法

首先分析了民用软件存在的问题,然后结合军用软件的特点,对影响军用软件可靠性的因素进行分析,最后提出提高军用软件质量的几种测试与实践方法。

Democratic control of Romanian intelligence after three decades: quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

ABSTRACT

Romania faced one of the most dramatic transitions from authoritarian communism to become a democracy and a member of the North-Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the European Union (EU). The backbone of building a democratic society has been civilian control of the military. This article briefly describes the norms and institutions of democratic control of the intelligence services in Romania and assesses how the mechanisms of democratic control have worked in practice after almost three decades of reform. We argue that many of the post-1989 reforms have been only superficial implemented and monitored, particularly after Romania joined NATO and the EU. The article concludes that the democratic control of intelligence in Romania is an unfinished business. There are structural shortcomings embedded in the process of democracy consolidation that need to be addressed.
