Threats and civil–military relations: explaining Singapore’s “trickle down” military innovation

This article explains why Singapore, despite its small size and semi-authoritarian regime, retains one of the best military forces in the Indo-Pacific. It unpacks Singapore’s ability to continuously innovate since the 1960s – technologically, organizationally, and conceptually – and even recently joined the Revolution in Military Affairs bandwagon. Drawing from the broader military innovation studies literature, this article argues evolutionary peacetime military innovation is more likely to occur in a state with a unified civil–military relation and whose military faces a high-level diverse set of threats. This argument explains how the civil–military fusion under the People’s Action Party-led government since Singapore’s founding moment has been providing coherent and consistent strategic guidance, political support, and financial capital, allowing the Singapore Armed Forces to continuously innovate in response to high levels and diversity of threats.     

空天环境对作战效能的影响——基于云模型的评估方法

空天环境作为传统战场空间的拓展,是打赢信息化战争、维护国家安全的重要战略高点。为更好了解空天环境对作战效能的影响,运用云模型的评估方法,从自然环境、作战平台、武器装备等方面对空天环境进行研究,以期对空天作战发展方向提供参考。研究表明,应根据空天作战时自然环境对作战的影响权重,增强空天作战平台与新概念武器自主适应环境的能力。

平流层飞艇空间控制作战样式分析*

临近空间是未来作战的制高点之一,在分析了临近空间作战特点的基础上,建立了平流层飞艇编队作战模型,通过研究飞艇的信息对抗能力、防御能力及武器性能,表明激光武器比导弹更适合于平流层飞艇的临近空间作战,干扰通信系统比干扰侦察系统对作战结果的影响更大,采取一定的防御措施也不能对平流层飞艇的损失率产生较大影响.     

Introduction: Exploring the jungle of terminology

When twentieth-century authors wrote about ‘partisan warfare’, they usually meant an insurgency or asymmetric military operations conducted against a superior force by small bands of ideologically driven irregular fighters. By contrast, originally (i.e. before the French Revolution) ‘partisan’ in French, English, and German referred only to the leader of a detachment of special forces (party, partie, Parthey, détachement) which the major European powers used to conduct special operations alongside their regular forces. Such special operations were the classic definition of ‘small war’ (petite guerre) in the late seventeenth and in the eighteenth centuries. The Spanish word ‘la guerrilla’, meaning nothing other than ‘small war’, only acquired an association with rebellion with the Spanish War of Independence against Napoleon. Even after this, however, armies throughout the world have continued to employ special forces. In the late nineteenth century, their operations have still been referred to as prosecuting ‘la guerrilla’ or ‘small war’, which existed side by side with, and was often mixed with, ‘people's war’ or popular uprisings against hated regimes.     

Deterrence and overseas stability

The use of conventional armed forces in a deterrent role merits close consideration. Instability in weak or failing states can have global ramifications, while efforts to build stability take time. In principle, conventional deterrence can be used to buy the time required for such stabilization efforts. Attempts at deterrence will, however, need to overcome credibility problems stemming from the technical limitations associated with conventional armed forces, and with the likely requirement for multiple external actors to deter multiple intrastate audiences. While deterrence might work under certain circumstances, it will not play as central a role in strategy as it did during the Cold War.

基于重构相空间AD-SVM的短期电力负荷预测

利用重庆市九龙坡区电网2009年7月1日000-10月8日4：00 99 d共2 380个历史电力负荷数据,分析其特点和规律.将构建混沌理论的平均位移（AD）法和支持向量机（SVM）相结合,提出了一种新的短期电力负荷预测模型.通过仿真计算,将结果与神经网络法预测结果进行对比,可得新方法能较好反应数据变化趋势,并且具备较好的拟合能力,能够提高负荷预测精度.在实际短期电力负荷预测中,可优先选用平均位移法与支持向量机相结合的新方法.
