Is Russia a revisionist military power in the Arctic?

In contrast with a widespread perception of Russia as an expansionist power in the Arctic, this article argues that Moscow does not seek military superiority in the region. Rather, Moscow's military strategies in the Arctic pursue three major goals: first, to demonstrate and ascertain Russia's sovereignty over its exclusive economic zone and continental shelf in the region; second, to protect its economic interests in the High North; and third, to demonstrate that Russia retains its great power status and still has world-class military capabilities. The Russian military modernization programs are quite modest and aim at upgrading the Russian armed forces in the High North rather than providing them with additional offensive capabilities or provoking a regional arms race. The Russian ambitions in the Arctic may be high, but they are not necessarily implying the intentions and proper capabilities to confront other regional players by military means. On the contrary, Moscow opts for soft rather than hard power strategy in the Arctic.     

基于样块改进的图像修复算法

图像修复是指对图像破损区域进行填充或者将图像中多余物体进行移除。在Criminisi算法的基础上进行改进,在待修复块优先权的计算过程中,由于等照度线的曲率可以反映图像的局部特征,块与块之间的方差值可以反映图像的边缘信息,因此,将二者考虑进来,确保修复过程能够准确有序地进行。在寻找最佳匹配块时,将等照度线的曲率也作为一个因素增加进来,有效地提高了最佳匹配块搜索的精确性。经过仿真实验证明,改进后的算法不仅在PSNR值上比原算法有所提高,而且修复结果也比原算法更加准确可靠。

基于约束条件的海上机动目标位置长期预测模型

海上目标运动模型已经有很多,但是对海上机动目标位置的长期预测问题还没有得到很好的解决。灰色系统理论是解决时间序列问题的有效工具,将其与海上机动目标的运动特点相结合,可以较准确地预测海上机动目标在未来较长时期内的位置分布,为引导卫星搜索海上机动目标提供理论依据。     

重点目标防空作战中多预警机协同探测空域配置

针对重点目标防空作战中预警机空域配置问题,构建了多预警机阵位选择和架数优化配置模型.通过分析重点目标预警线划分,确定预警机防空作战具体任务,从而构建其阵位选择量化模型,并以此为基础,提出了一种在确保自身安全且充分发挥预警机固有探测威力前提下的多预警机并立航线和串接航线空域配置量化模型.实例运算结果表明,该模型能够对比分...     

‘Fighting for peace’

In Africa, most of the present conflicts are civil, intra-state wars where belligerent groups use guerrilla tactics to achieve various political, economic or ideological objectives. The atrocities and the effect of these on-going wars on innocent civilians, human suffering, poverty and development are beyond comprehension. Not surprisingly, the majority of current peace operations are in Africa, with more than 70 countries contributing forces to these conflict zones. On the continent, South Africa has come to assume a leading role in peace operations and is now a major troop-contributing country to UN and AU missions. In the past 11 years, the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) has taken part in no fewer than 14 peace missions. This article provides a brief background of the conflicts in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Sudan, the different United Nations (UN) and African Union (AU) mandates under which peacekeepers had to operate as well as their objectives, and the extent of South Africa's involvement in the various missions. In the last section, the major challenges, that these operations have posed are highlighted.
