航空电子综合火控系统驾驶员操作程序(POP)仿真

驾驶员操作程序(POP)是航电综合设计最重要的顶层设计文件,其仿真对支持总体设计具有不可替代的作用。首先从整个航空火控系统的角度阐述了POP的组成及任务操作,然后介绍了POP仿真模型的建立方法和制作思路,并对某型飞机航电综合火控系统POP进行了仿真实现。其结果可用于评价飞机航电综合火控系统的POP操作逻辑关系的正确性。     

基于熵的空中目标识别模型及应用

空中目标识别是现代防空作战的重要研究内容。研究根据不同类型的目标产生不同的辐射和不同的雷达回波信号对目标进行识别。提出利用熵理论来处理目标识别问题,采用层次分析法与熵权的组合来确定指标的权重。仿真实例表明,基于熵的识别是一种运算简单,结果可靠的目标识别算法。     

战车火控系统射击命中三要素函数误差分析

火控系统射击(函数)误差可分解为射弹散布函数误差和火控射击准备函数误差。而射击准备函数则是命中三要素函数即瞄准函数、解算函数和控制函数的合成函数。命中三要素的提出,为火控系统射击误差(精度)的分析提供了新的途径。它们均是命中目标的关键要素,又各具特色,为火控系统射击精度乃至系统反应速度的提高,指出了应该努力的方向。针对此进行了具体的分析。     

一种基于离散混沌系统的S-Box候选算法设计

S-Box是现行分组密码中唯一的非线性部件,主要提供了分组密码算法中必需的混淆作用,其密码强度决定了整个分组密码的安全强度。为进一步提高S-Box的强度,结合离散混沌系统的内在随机性、有界性、非周期性及对初始条件和参数极度敏感等特点,提出一种采用多混沌映射和交叉映射生成S-Box的生成算法。实验分析表明,该算法生成的样本密钥敏感性强,随机性好,既能较好地满足S-Box设计所要求的各项准则和特性,安全性高,同时又能降低计算复杂度,提高计算速度,且易于生成和扩展,因而是一种性能良好的S-Box候选算法。

‘Today we shall drink blood’: internal unrest in Nigeria

Despite some tentative internal peace agreements, Nigeria continues to face violence from multiple groups. This violence feeds upon itself, with segments of the population being mobilized both for self defense and for pressing their ideological and practical goals. These multiple sources of violence, which the Nigerian government appears unable to control to any significant degree, have a long term corrosive effect on the country's internal stability. There are few reasons to be sanguine as to any rapid changes to the level of overall violence or the relative number of armed groups, although their specific identities may shift. Nigeria represents a good case study of a country in which relatively low but persistent violence by a multiplicity of groups can have major impacts on internal security.     

IRA operational intelligence: the heartbeat of the war

This article will seek to provide a detailed examination of the IRA's operational intelligence methodologies. Providing not only a lengthy discussion on the organization's intelligence collection protocols, it will also examine the interplay between intelligence and IRA decision-making. It will be contended that intelligence's influence resided in its ability to introduce a strong element of predictability into the IRA's decision-making process. This depended on an ability to construct a detailed intelligence picture of the target and its geographical milieu so as to minimize the likelihood of volunteers encountering unforeseen circumstances that could adversely affect planned or anticipated outcomes.     

Controlled warfare: how directed-energy weapons will enable the US Military to fight effectively in an urban environment while minimizing collateral damage

US military operations are increasingly conducted within urban environments and with these operations come the risk of increasing the number of civilian casualties and infrastructure damage. The use of non-lethal weaponry, such as directed-energy weapons, is one method for minimizing collateral damage. This method enables US military forces to effectively fight within urban environments through force escalation capabilities. Using a series of historical examples and future scenarios for urban warfare, this article highlights deficiencies affecting military capabilities in military urban operations, addresses the consequences of collateral damage, assesses the effectiveness of directed-energy weapons in military urban operations and encourages further funding, research and integration of non-lethal weaponry, such as directed-energy weapons, within the US military.     

Escalation and de-escalation of violence in insurgencies: Insights from Northeast India

Insurgencies in the Northeast of India have been a recurring phenomenon since India's independence in 1947. One of the most significant aspects of the multiple insurgencies has been the use of violence for political goals. By drawing upon three cases of insurgencies in Northeast India, the article offers a conceptual framework on escalation and de-escalation of violence in insurgencies. The article argues that the most critical variables which have a direct bearing on the levels of insurgent violence are: popular support, loss of legitimacy and the state's counter-response.
