Into the black box? Technology sharing in major arms transfers and beyond

From the recipients’ perspective, arms transfers have, through the use of offsets, technology transfers, and industrial participation, become an opportunity to receive not only advanced weapons, but also technologies not otherwise available. How important are friendly relations for securing a military export order? To what extent do buyers demand advanced military or commercial technology and how are these demands accepted by the supplier? How does this influence smaller producers in relation to major producers? These questions are addressed by studying (a) the Joint Strike Fighter/F-35 by Lockheed Martin, USA, and the JAS-39 Gripen aircraft by Saab, Sweden, (b) the Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft competition in India for 126 combat aircraft, and (c) the Indian offset policy. In the final section, some long-term consequences are discussed.

基于分层核粒子滤波的快速运动目标跟踪

针对目标发生快速、运动不规则及遮挡等情况下的跟踪问题,提出了一种分层核采样策略。首先通过先验转移和后验转移分别预测2组粒子来建立联合分布,利用聚类算法近似联合分布粒子集的混合高斯分布;然后对每个聚类进行采样;最后采用均值漂移算法将粒子移动到后验密度的局部极值处。实验结果表明:算法在目标发生快速机动情况时,跟踪性能优于传统粒子滤波、核粒子滤波及分层粒子滤波,且对遮挡具有较好的鲁棒性。     

Involving the elephant: technical isolation and the role of India in a possible solution to the Iranian nuclear crisis

Apart from North Korea, no state's nuclear program in the twenty-first century has raised more concern to international security than Iran's. While Iran insists that its nuclear program is strictly for civilian purpose in line with Article IV of non-proliferation treaty, the USA and its allies insist that Iran has military intentions and called for sanctions. The failure of sanctions to deter Iran from its nuclear agenda had made many scholars and policy-makers call for a preemptive attack on Iranian nuclear facilities. Situated within this debate, this paper positions itself as an antagonist to the preemptive airstrike option and argues that involving India in a possible nuclear “iron curtain” against Iran – a move known as technical isolation – remains the best option to the current nuclear crises.     

基于变异离散粒子群的协同空战攻击决策算法

为了提高智能协同空战攻击决策算法性能,将变异策略引入到DPSO(Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization)协同空战攻击决策算法中,提出了一种新的基于变异离散粒子群(Mutation Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization,MDPSO)的协同空战攻击决策算法。基于典型空战想定背景,仿真验证了算法的有效性。采用对比实验方法,基于准确性、可靠性和快速性等关键性能指标,分析比较了基于MDPSO协同空战攻击决策算法与多种智能决策算法,验证了基于MDPSO的协同空战攻击决策算法有着较好的综合性能。     

猎雷具定位水中悬浮目标的方法

猎雷具的前视声纳在发现锚雷时,无法解算其位置坐标,从而使猎雷具无法准确、安全地消灭锚雷,影响了猎雷具的作战效能,因此利用目标在声纳波束中的临界状态,结合单位波束的方向性特点,提出了对水中悬浮目标进行定位的方法,并根据实际作战环境,对计算结果进行了修正,完善了解算模型。     

粒子滤波的序列图像运动目标跟踪(英文)

序列图像的运动目标识别与跟踪是计算机视觉主要研究方向之一。研究的重点是要建立一个准确可靠的跟踪系统。针对此问题,传统的帧间差分法进行了改进,并研究了粒子滤波算法。在改进的帧间差分法和粒子滤波的基础上,提出了序列图像运动目标跟踪方法。实验实验表明,这种方法能够在目标被背景云彩遮挡的情况下,实现目标的可靠跟踪。

信息化武器装备系统中的软件思维

在信息化条件下,重视软件成为共识,但是重视装备软件不仅是在功能技术层面上,还应在思维层面上审视其对武器装备系统的思想内涵和发展思路的深刻影响.从武器装备系统中软硬件的逻辑关系出发,研究软件如何从思维层面影响现代武器装备系统,可以更好地从软件的视角上去理解和把握武器装备系统,真正认识到软件的“灵魂”作用.     

地面防空武器系统的效能评估模型

作战系统服务能力是衡量其作战效能的重要指标,结合现代作战系统的特点,运用排队论原理,建立了一种地面防空武器系统效能评估模型,确定了武器系统作为随机服务系统的主要性能指标,包括目标突防概率、目标杀伤概率、占用射击通道的平均数、射击通道占用概率和武器系统效率等。示例计算分析显示,该模型与外部条件和地面防空武器系统的综合特性密切相关,对辅助指挥员决策有一定的参考价值。
