The fertile ground of Hell’s carnival: Charles T. R. Bohannan and the US Army’s Counter Intelligence Corps’ investigations of war criminals,collaborators, and the Huk,in the Philippines 1945–1947

Insurgencies thrive in regions where government legitimacy is absent. In the post-war Philippines, Captain Charles T. R. Bohannan of the Army’s Counter Intelligence Corps became actively aware of this dynamic. Bohannan is best known for his later work with Edward Lansdale and Ramon Magsaysay in defeating the Huk Rebellion (1950–1954). Here the author examines Bohannan’s early investigative work against Japanese war criminals, wartime Filipino collaborators, and the rising threat of communist subversion most associated with the Huk. All of these experiences fed into what would be the successful campaign against the Huk, chronicled in his seminal work, Counter Guerrilla Operations: The Philippines Experience, and offers lessons on the investigative (as opposed to tactical or psychological) nature of effective counter-insurgency work, as it relates to both legitimacy in governance and the rise of insurgencies.     

Putin – the masked nemesis of the strategy of ambiguity

Recent events demonstrate the complex and adaptive approach employed by Russia to reassert influence in Europe. The changing face of Russia’s strategy commenced in 2007 when it launched a crippling cyber-attack against Estonia. This was followed by a large Russian conventional attack against Georgia in 2008, occupying two large areas of the nation. 2014 witnessed the Russian annexation of Crimea where in just a week, Russia seized control of Crimea “without firing a shot.” The annexation of Crimea was rapidly followed by a Russian inspired and led subversive war in eastern Ukraine. The common thread among these diverse Russian operations is its use of ambiguity to confound and confuse decision makers in the West.

巡航导弹INS/视觉组合导航方法

巡航导弹仅依靠惯性导航系统进行导航时,其导航误差将随着时间的累积不断变大。INS/GPS是最常用的组合导航方式,但存在战时不可用的缺陷。为此提出了一种基于EKF的巡航导弹INS/视觉组合导航方法。利用巡航导弹相对于单个已知点地标的视觉信息(方位角和高度角)和高度信息,巡航导弹INS的位置和速度误差能够同时被估计出来。最后,仿真验证了该方法的有效性。     

北斗系统三频载波相位整周模糊度快速解算

北斗导航定位系统播发三个频率观测值,有助于载波相位整周模糊度的快速、准确固定。传统的几何无关模型三频载波相位模糊度固定算法通常采用遍历整数搜索的方法确定载波相位-伪距组合系数,组合后的噪声因子较大,模糊度固定成功率不高。在分析了北斗系统伪距测量误差特性的基础上,给出了加权组合噪声因子的定义及其约束下的最优组合系数的求解方法。采用Hatch滤波提高电离层延时误差实时估计精度,成功固定三组线性无关组合系数对应整周模糊度,进而确定基础整周模糊度。利用北斗系统短基线、长基线实测数据对算法性能进行了验证,实验表明:提出的算法可优化超宽巷、宽巷组合噪声因子20%以上,模糊度固定成功率提高10%~18%左右,30s历元平滑后的基础模糊度固定成功率可达90%以上。     

基于载波相位辅助的GNSS天线阵抗干扰算法*

对于全球卫星导航定位系统,干扰和多径是影响接收机导航定位性能的两个主要因素。针对卫星导航接收机的抗干扰问题,提出了一种基于载波相位辅助的卫星导航天线阵抗干扰算法。该算法进行盲零陷形成的同时利用各阵元通道输出信号的载波相位辅助来进行盲波束形成,并通过控制算法实现智能切换。仿真结果表明,提出的算法在干扰环境且接收机冷启动的条件下仍能成功抑制干扰、正常工作,在无干扰或弱干扰条件下能进行波束形成来增强卫星信号,从而提高卫星可见性以及定位精度。提出的算法不需要阵列校正以及姿态测量单元辅助,其实现代价远小于传统的波束形成算法。     

VFD滤波器的导航信道模拟器动态时延模拟方法

针对卫星导航信道模拟器信号仿真中,传统伪距多普勒模拟方法瞬时控制精度差、滤波器资源占用较大的不足,提出了基于拉格朗日插值延迟滤波器及Farrow结构实现的伪距多普勒模拟方法。在分析信道模拟器系统架构的基础上,建立了多普勒模拟方法的模型,包括延时计算模块和可变延迟滤波器两部分。与多速率采样数字延迟滤波器方法比较,该方法滤波器系数个数约为后者的0.2%,并且改变时延特性时,仅需更新1个参数。信道模拟器实测数据结果表明使用该方法伪码多普勒模拟精度可以达到0.1mHz。
