根据某型坦克炮所配备的制式常规弹药在高原的适应性试验情况,分析了该型坦克炮作战使用的主要弹种穿甲弹和杀伤爆破弹在高海拔条件下的外弹道状态,将平原地区与高原地区的测试数据进行了对比计算,对该型坦克炮配备的穿甲弹和杀伤爆破弹在高海拔条件下的打击效能加以分析和评估,为其在高原环境下作战和使用的打击效能提供参考依据。     

综合射频系统在新型装甲平台中的应用

为了应对未来信息化战争对坦克装甲平台电子射频系统提出的更高要求,提出将综合射频系统应用在新型装甲平台上。该系统采用综合孔径方式设计,可完成对空目标搜索、精确跟踪、威胁判断、电子对抗、火力指引、毁伤评估等功能,在装甲平台防护中具有至关重要的作用。首先,介绍了装甲平台的多功能综合射频系统;其次,详细分析了该系统的组成、功能和特点,简要描述了作战中的应用模式;最后,针对综合射频系统在新型坦克装甲平台的进一步应用提出了发展建议。     

一种改进的红外图像降噪算法与FPGA实现

由于实时目标的红外图像具有信噪比低、边界模糊等问题,在研究红外图像噪声特点的基础上,提出了一种基于动静态检测算法的红外图像降噪算法。通过一种动静态检测算法将图像分成动态图像和静态图像,用改进的自适应维纳滤波算法处理动态图像,用改进的NL-means降噪算法处理静态图像,并用FPGA实现红外图像降噪系统设计。实验表明,红外图像经算法处理后,其PSNR和细节方差-背景方差比(DV/BV)均高于经典降噪算法,算法能有效减少图像噪声,并能很好地保持图像的边界细节信息。     

Notes on contributors

In 1897 and 1898, Winston Churchill participated in what late Victorian Britain termed ‘small wars’, first on India's northwest frontier and then in the vast wasteland of the Sudan. Churchill chronicled his experiences in these conflicts in personal letters, dispatches to newspapers, and in his first two books, The Story of the Malakand Field Force and The River War. These writings provide a snapshot of a particular period in the formative years of the great statesman, demonstrating through Churchill's eloquent analyses many of the contradictions concerning the conduct of small wars that have emerged in the present era.     

AFRICA'S TRIPLE TRANSITION

Sub-Saharan Africa has witnessed the end of foreign colonial rule, the rise and fall of autocratic political regimes, and the disappearance of statist command economies. The challenges were to turn populations into coherent nations owing allegiance to the state; to democratise the state structures that govern these populations; and to liberalise the rules that regulate economic transactions. An important source to assess these prospects are the views and attitudes of ordinary Africans. This essay reflects on the original data derived from a crossnational research project. Nine African states were surveyed between 1999 and 2000. An attempt is made to gather some propositions from the analysis of the data. Many present serious challenges to common wisdom about African politics. It appears that the process of nationbuilding has created coherent political communities with high levels of national identity; that democratising the state in Africa builds on existing indigenous demands from ordinary Africans; and that economic liberalisation proceeds in the face of a mixed set of values about market and state.     

How should modeling and simulation be used to support defense acquisition?

This paper investigates the potential for modeling and simulation to contribute to new defense system development, by increasing the productivity of traditional R&D in developing system‐specific technology. Building on a previous optimal control model of defense system R&D, it shows that (1) the optimal use of modeling is related in a natural way to that of traditional R&D, and (2) both have similar optimal profiles over time. Simulated results based on limited historical data suggest that optimal use of modeling could increase the rate of growth in system‐specific technology significantly.

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.     

New Light on the Gold Sword of Major George Wilson
