TURKEY'S NUCLEAR COMEBACK

As worries have grown about global warming and the sustainability and price of fossil fuels, the demand for nuclear energy has increased, and nuclear power is increasingly viewed as a reliable and clean resource. However, the so-called nuclear renaissance coincides with an international security environment in which the norms of nuclear nonproliferation seem to be eroding. Turkey, a non-nuclear weapon state, plans to generate nuclear power to meet future energy demands, but it is aware of and concerned with regional proliferation trends. Questions have also been raised regarding Ankara's rationale for using nuclear energy, as well as its potential motivations and capabilities regarding future proliferation. This article will provide an overview of Turkey's nuclear energy history and plans, as well as the proliferation-related questions that could arise; it will also look at the domestic debate on nuclear energy and Turkey's status as a non-nuclear weapon state.     

The Importance of Safeguards Culture

International safeguards is the system of measures put in place by the International Atomic Energy Agency and states to ensure nuclear programs remain dedicated to peaceful purposes. This international safeguards system consists of agreements, inspections, and evaluations that have never considered the safeguards culture of a state or facility. Neither a common definition nor an understanding of safeguards culture is internationally recognized. This article provides an analysis of the concept of safeguards culture and gauges its value to the international safeguards community. The authors explore distinctions among safeguards culture, safeguards compliance, and safeguards performance, and suggest possible indicators of safeguards culture and methods to promote a strong, positive safeguards culture.     

罗兰-C 地波传播海岸效应中驻波扰动现象的空间分析

为了提高海岸区域低频地波传播特性预测精度,研究了基于 J．R．Wait 及 FDTD 全波分析算法的罗兰-C 信号海岸效应预测模型;对罗兰-C 信号传播至海岸线时的电场幅度与相位的空间驻波状扰动现象进行了仿真比较;分析了突变和线性渐变两种陆海分界模型下,该扰动在近海岸区域的地／海面及其上空的分布规律,并指出该扰动存在波前倾斜现象。仿真分析表明：该研究进一步克服了 J．R．Wait 算法的局限,限定了驻波扰动变化量级与其在三维空间的分布范围,有助于同时提高罗兰-C 系统在海岸区域地／海面及空中的导航授时精度。     

机载相控阵雷达搜索模式辐射能量控制方法

机载相控阵雷达过高的辐射能量威胁了战斗机的生存能力。为了减少相控阵雷达搜索模式辐射能量,提出了基于辐射能量控制的搜索模型。将总能量消耗函数和检测概率相对误差作为目标函数,以平均功率、波束宽度、积累脉冲数以及脉冲重复间隔作为优化变量,选取非支配遗传排序算法对此模型进行优化。仿真结果表明,在同样检测概率情况下,提出的搜索方法可以有效控制雷达辐射能量,具有更好的射频隐身性能。     

基于营区精、气、神文化表达的自然仿生设计

精、气、神文化是营区规划设计的核心.自然仿生设计为营区精、气、神文化的表达提供了独特而有效的方式.通过对营区精、气、神文化的解读,发掘出自然仿生的3个层面,即“形”之仿生,“意”之仿生和“结构”之仿生.在营区规划设计中,当自然仿生的这3个层面得到有效表达,实现有机统一,营区就会产生独特的文化气质与魅力,从而体现其精、气、神特色,展现部队的“军营魂”.     

Economic Competition and Nuclear Cooperation

The number of bilateral nuclear cooperation agreements surged during the “nuclear renaissance” of the past decade. This proliferation is only partially explained by the prevailing approaches that focus on strategic imperatives. To supplement these explanations, this study draws on neoliberal models of economic competition to posit that bilateral agreement negotiations also exhibit conditions of “uncoordinated interdependence” and maneuvering to gain market share. Case evidence suggests the contours of supplier state bids for civilian assistance are determined at least as much by considerations about economic competition as they are by positive strategic goals. In addition, this study identifies several cases of cooperation where there appears to be little or no strategic motive for export agreements. The study concludes that patterns of economic competition and the influence of peers in defined competitive spaces alter material payoffs and impact policies. It also identifies a surprising role for principled restraint in dampening strategic and economic competition in some dyads.     

Survey and technological analysis of laser and its defense applications

The laser technology has made remarkable progress over the past couple of decades.It is being widely employed in diverse domains,such as holography,space sciences,spectroscopy,medical sciences,micro and power electronics,industrial engineering,and most distinctively,as directed energy military weapons.Owing to their active transmissions,laser systems are similar to microwave radars to some extent;however,unlike conventional radars,the laser operates at very high frequencies thus making it a potent enabler of narrow-beam and high energy aerial deployments,both in offensive and defensive roles.In modern avionics systems,laser target indicators and beam riders are the most common devices that are used to direct the Laser Guided Weapons(LGW)accurately to the ground targets.Additionally,compact size and outstanding angular resolution of laser-based systems motivate their use for drones and unmanned aerial applications.Moreover,the narrow-beam divergence of laser emissions offers a low probability of intercept,making it a suitable contender for secure transmissions and safety-critical operations.Furthermore,the developments in space sciences and laser technology have given syner-gistic potential outcomes to use laser systems in space operations.This paper comprehensively reviews laser applications and projects for strategic defense actions on the ground or in space.Additionally,a detailed analysis has been done on recent advancements of the laser technology for target indicators and range-finders.It also reviews the advancements in the field of laser communications for surveillance,its earlier state of the art,and ongoing scientific research and ad-vancements in the domain of high energy directed laser weapons that have revolutionized the evolving military battlefield.Besides offering a comprehensive taxonomy,the paper also critically analyzes some of the recent contributions in the associated domains.     

基于ANSYS的舰船武器装备基准变化分析方法

舰船武器装备基准在外界环境作用下产生变化,从而影响武器系统的打击精度。应用ANSYS平台建立舰船有限元模型,利用三维波浪载荷的计算方法模拟航行条件下的波浪力,研究了舰船甲板面武器装备基准在两种极限海况下的变化情况,发现针对此类舰船横摇使武器装备基准产生较大的变化,并且靠近尾部和两舷位置处装备的基准变化较为显著。仿真结果表明：当舰船在风浪中航行使用武器系统时,应尽量采取顶浪航行,减少舰船横摇对武器系统基准的影响。     

海洋内孤立波时空仿真分析

目前对于内波传播有很多研究方法,虽然总结了很多内波传播的特性,但很少对内波传播特性全面的总结,因此,从内波KDV方程出发,利用椭圆函数展开进行求解,结合垂向模态函数对内波水下结构进行仿真,同时对内波水平流与垂直流在空间与时间上的分布进行分析,总结了内孤立波传播特性,为内波系统的研究提供理论基础。
