Through the Looking Glass: The Soviet Military-Technical Revolution and the American Revolution in Military Affairs

The roots of the information technology Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) can be traced to the mid-1970s, when the West capitalized on scientific-technological developments to neutralize the threat posed by Soviet second echelons. However, the cultivation of the technological seeds of the American RMA preceded the maturation of the conceptual ones. Although it was the US that was laying the technological groundwork for the RMA, Soviet, rather than the American military theorists, were the first to argue that the new range of technological innovations constituted a fundamental discontinuity in the nature of war, which they dubbed the ‘Military-Technical Revolution’ (MTR). About a decade later, this fundamental Soviet approach to the transformations in military affairs was analyzed, adapted and adopted by the US, and designated the RMA. This article deals with the intellectual history of the Soviet MTR and the American RMA.     

基于压缩估计的单星观测定轨方法研究

分析了单星观测模式下的天基测控系统的可行性,并针对该观测模式下轨道确定中法矩阵的特点,提出了一种基于压缩估计的定轨方法,该方法对法矩阵进行变换,避免了法矩阵奇异造成的误差传递。证明了当满足一定条件时,该压缩方法的估计精度要高于传统的定轨方法。并结合单星观测的特殊性,提出了误差传递因子,设计了单星观测下的压缩估计定轨算法。最后以单星模式下的天基测控系统作为仿真背景进行了仿真试验。结果表明,该压缩估计可有效提高单星观测模式下的轨道确定精度。

An Imperfect Jewel: Military Theory and the Military Profession

This article explores a perennial theme in the literature of strategic studies: the relationship between military theory and the military profession. It begins with a conceptual analysis of this relationship. It then investigates what military theorists themselves have had to say about the utility of their craft. It concludes by assessing the actual influence of military theory on selected individuals and institutions. The individuals are George S. Patton, Jr., and Ulysses S. Grant. The institutions are the United States Army and the United States Air Force in the late twentieth century. The fundamental finding is suggested in the title: military theory can indeed be quite useful in the maturation of military commanders and in the development of martial institutions, but it is not always necessary and by no means perfect. It should thus be studied assiduously but used with caution.     

Insights from a Database of Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen Militants

This article uses a novel database of 1,625 posthumously published biographies of members of two Islamist militant organizations (Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM)), all of whom were killed in the course of carrying out militant attacks. In general, each biography provides data on the militant’s birthplace, education, recruitment, and training. The number of observations in this database is a full order of magnitude larger than those of previous databases assembled from militant biographies. While the sample of militants in this database is the product of multiple selection effects, analysis of the database undermines many common myths about Pakistani militants and casts doubt on current policy approaches to mitigating Islamist militancy in Pakistan.     

卫星导航接收机中积分清零器的性能分析

为了使跟踪环路得到最高的输入信噪比,卫星导航接收机在时延估计时应使用匹配滤波器。但出于节省硬件资源的考虑,卫星导航接收机通常采用积分清零器完成相关运算。然而积分清零器相对于匹配滤波器存在性能损耗,对此目前尚无量化的结论。本文推导出积分清零器性能损耗的解析表达式,并使用Monte Carlo仿真的方法验证结论的正确性。理论和仿真结果表明当采样率为2倍的前端带宽时,积分清零器相比匹配滤波存在约0.44dB的损耗,当采样率提高到4倍信号带宽时,积分清零器的性能损耗几乎可以忽略。该结论对卫星导航接收机的设计具有重要的意义。     

双浮体波浪能转换装置中重心布置对波浪能吸收影响分析

提出一种基于横摇运动的双浮体波浪能转换装置,利用水面浮体与水下浮体之间的相对横摇运动实现对波浪能的吸收。在保持水下浮体稳定的前提下,水面浮体的横摇运动决定了整个装置对波浪能吸收情况。水面浮体的横摇运动受其横摇固有频率的影响,主要是重心布置。为了合理选择水面浮体的重心位置,采用数值分析的方法对箱型浮体在长峰不规则波下的工作情况进行分析,讨论重心布置对波浪能吸收的影响以及对PTO参数选择的影响。结果表明,重心的布置可改变波浪能吸收的频段,重心布置越低,可吸收的波浪能频段越广,越有利于波浪能的吸收。
