Cold weather operations: Preventive strategies ina military context
(2024-10-23)Military cold weather operations (CWOs) introduce a range of challenges, including extremetemperatures, strong winds, difficult terrain, and exposure to snow, ice, and water. Personnelundertaking these missions face a ... -
Optimising collection geometry for long-range synthetic aperture sonar interferometry
(2024-06-21)Interferometric synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) is a technique to image and map theseabed in very high resolution. For large area coverage rate systems with hundreds ofmetres swath width, the achievable performance varies ... -
Bolstering the Bastion: The Changing Pattern of Russia's Military Exercises in the High North
(2024-09-18)Between 2015 and 2022, Russia conducted a number of naval and air exercises, including live-fire drills, in the international waters and airspace on NATO’s northern flank. Some of this activity took place in the Norwegian ... -
Social Movement Communication as Democratic Innovation: The Alta Conflict 1970–1982
(2024-02-06)How can lobbying and influence be useful not only for those who already are powerful, but also for the empowerment of the disempowered? Thus, how may we democratise control over the means of rhetorical power? An answer may ... -
The underwater soundscape of the North Sea
(2024-01)As awareness on the impact of anthropogenic underwater noise on marine life grows, underwater noise measurement programs are needed to determine the current status of marine areas and monitor long-term trends. The Joint ... -
Accumulation of copper and lead in ruminants grazing on a contaminated shooting range in Nordland County, Norway
(2024)Shooting ranges contain copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) contamination, which can be a risk for grazing ruminants. This study examines the accumulation of lead and copper in blood of lambs and calves, as well as in the liver of ... -
The characteristics of successful military IT projects: a cross-country empirical study
(2023)In the armed forces, successful digitalizationis crucial to ensure effective operations. Much of the existing literature on project factors during the planning and execution phases of public IT projects do not focus ... -
Increased impact sensitivity in ageing high explosives; analysis of Amatol extracted from explosive remnants of war
(2024-03-27)Millions of tonnes of explosive remnants of war remain in nature, and the volume is continuously growing. The explosive legacy of wars represents an increasing threat to the environment and to societal safety and security. ... -
Camouflage performance of winter uniforms: photosimulations in the visual spectrum
(2023-10-23)Minimizing electro-optical signatures of soldiers against modern sensors is a challenging task, but a task with high importance and benefits for operative soldiers that need to stay undetected. Optimizing camouflage uniforms ... -
Optical turbulence on 1-km horizontal path with short and medium IR Gaussian laser beams
(2023-10-19)We have investigated effects of optical turbulence on laser beams with wavelengths of λ = 1064 nm and 2036 nm. The two laser beams (one diode and one thulium fiber laser) were expanded to 7 cm diameter through a common ... -
War and the Willingness to Resist and Fight in Ukraine
(2023-12-05)This study explores the effects of Russia's use of military force on the Ukrainian willingness to fight and resist. We find assumptions from the theoretical literature on the willingness to fight of limited relevance. ... -
RIMFAX Ground Penetrating Radar Reveals Dielectric Permittivity and Rock Density of Shallow Martian Subsurface
(2023-06-02)The Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover is equipped with the RIMFAX ground penetrating radar instrument which has been continuously surveying the shallow subsurface during the rover's journey. Within the first 379 mission ... -
A wavelet schrinkage approach to detect candidate point scatterers in synthetic aperture sonar images for resolution estimation
(2023)Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) that are equipped with side-looking synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) have become a popular asset for efficient high resolution imaging and mapping of the seafloor. There are situations ... -
A Study on the Effect of Commonly Used Data Augmentation Techniques on Sonar Image Artifact Detection Using Deep Neural Networks
(2023-10-20)This paper presents an empirical study that evaluates the impact of different types of augmentations on the performance of Deep Learning (DL) models for detecting imaging artifacts in Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) imagery. ... -
Bacterial Brain Abscesses Expand Despite Effective AntibioticTreatment: A Process Powered by Osmosis Due to NeutrophilCell Death
(2023-12-12)BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: A bacterial brain abscess is an emergency and should be drained of pus within 24 hours of diagnosis, as recently recommended. In this cross-sectional study, we investigated whether delaying ... -
War in Europe, but Still Low Tension in the High North? An Analysis of Norwegian Mitigation Strategies
(2024)Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has created the most precarious security situation in Europe, including the High North, since the Second World War. This article studies how Norway manages High North security dilemmas in the ... -
