Assessing protection of civilians in military operations
(2014-12-15)In today’s conflicts, military forces are frequently expected to protect civilians from threats of physical violence. Successful protection is now considered important to ensure local and international legitimacy and in ... -
Quantum chemical methods for high-energy materials - estimating formation enthalpies, crystal densities and impact sensitivities
(2014-12-15)A preliminary investigation of quantum chemical methods for the calculation of formation enthalpies, crystal densities, and impact sensitivities is presented. In particular, all calculations presented are density functional ... -
Økonomisk usikkerhetsanalyse i levetidsperspektivet - metode til bruk i spesielle forsvarsinvesteringer
(2014-12-16)For Forsvaret er økonomisk usikkerhetsanalyse et verktøy for å fastsette prosjekters styringsrammer og usikkerhetsavsetning, og i tillegg et viktig verktøy for håndtering av risiko. I så henseende kan prosessen med å ... -
Strain rate dependency and fragmentation pattern of expanding warheads
(2014-12-22)For the characterization of the behaviors of a metal material in events like expanding warheads, it is necessary to know its strength and ductility at high strain rates, around 104 e105 /s. The flyer plate impact testing ... -
Simulation of natural fragmentation of rings cut from warheads
(2015)Natural fragmentation of warheads that detonates causes the casing of the warhead to split into various sized fragments through shear or radial fractures depending on the toughness, density, and grain size of the material. ... -
The effect of contrast in camouflage patterns on detectability by human observers and CAMAELEON
(2015)Evaluation of signature properties of military equipment is very important. It is crucial to apply the proper method out of many possible approaches, based on amongst others ranking by probability of detection, detection ... -
The Multivariate Normal Inverse Gaussian distribution: EM-estimation and analysis of synthetic aperture sonar data
(2015)The heavy-tailed Multivariate Normal Inverse Gaussian (MNIG) distribution is a recent variance-mean mixture of a multivariate Gaussian with a univariate inverse Gaussian distribution. Due to the complexity of the ... -
Heirs of Zarqawi or Saddam? The Relationship between al-Qaida in Iraq and the Islamic State
(2015)This paper examines the relationship between al-Qaida in Iraq and Islamic State, asking what remains of AQI within the current incarnation of IS. The study is based on available information concerning the backgrounds and ... -
Federated single sign on in disconnected, intermittent and limited (DIL) networks
(2015)In a military setting resource exchange amongst coalition partners is of great importance. Using SAML2.0 in a Single Sign On scheme in a federated setting can be a solution to Web authentication of Web resources. The problem ... -
A concept approach to input/output logic
(2015)This paper provides a semantics for input/input output logic based on formal concept analysis. The central result shows that an input/output logic axiomatised by a relation R is the same as the logic induced by deriving ... -
Reducing scalloping in synthetic aperture radar images using a composite image transform
(2015)In burst mode SAR imaging, echo intensity depends on the target's azimuth position in the antenna pattern. As a result, an amplitude modulation known as scalloping may appear, particularly in ScanSAR images of ocean ... -
The final destination: building test bed apps for DIL environments
(2015)Recent years have seen a massive growth in the everyday use of smartphones and tablet (here called smart mobile devices or SMDs) and a turn towards app based software to connect to cloud based services. This has had a huge ... -
Multiband Passive Bistatic Radar Coherent Range and Doppler-Walk Compensation
(2015)The work simulates the performance of a coherent Passive Bistatic Radar multiband processing algorithm. The aim of the work is to present improved range resolution by coherently combine non-adjacent DVB-T channels, while ... -
Underwater Acoustic Network Simulation With Lookup Tables From Physical-Layer Replay
(2015)An underwater acoustic network simulation methodology is presented that is based on lookup tables (LUTs) with physical-layer error ratios. These LUTs are prepared with a validated replay channel simulator, which is here ... -
The use of synthetic aperture sonar to survey seafloor massive sulfide deposits
(2015)With the advent of advanced deep sea mining technology, seafloor mining is poised to begin on a global scale. For the success of any mining operation, it is crucial that both the operators and regulatory bodies possess ... -
Dose response severity functions for acoustic disturbance in cetaceans using recurrent event survival analysis
(2015)Behavioral response studies (BRSs) aim to enhance our understanding of the behavior changes made by animals in response to specific exposure levels of different stimuli, often presented in an increasing dosage. Here, we ... -
Identification and quantification of lichenysin – a possible source of food poisoning
(2015)Lichenysin produced by 53 different Bacillus licheniformis strains has been structurally examined with a qualitative liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method using quadrupole-time-of-flight mass ... -
Completeness and Accuracy of a Wide-Area Maritime Situational Picture based on Automatic Ship Reporting Systems
(2015)Automatic ship reporting systems (AIS – Automatic identification System, LRIT – Long Range Identification and Tracking, VMS – Vessel Monitoring System) today allow global tracking of ships. One way to display the results ... -
Toward federated mission networking in the tactical domain
(2015)NATO is currently working on the Federated Mission Networking (FMN) concept, which will become the foundation for establishing mission networks in the future. The realization of the FMN concept is described in the NATO FMN ... -
