Operationalizing Protection of Civilians in NATO Operations
(2015)
Though NATO and other military forces increasingly recognize protection of civilians as a key objective in their operations, implementation remains challenging. To effectively protect, the military force must understand ...
Integral Line-of-Sight Guidance of Underwater Vehicles Without Neutral Buoyancy
(2016)
This paper analyzes an integral line-of-sight guidance law applied to an underac-tuated underwater vehicle. The vehicle is rigorously modeled in 5 degrees of freedom using physical principles, and it is taken into account ...
Emerging technology concepts and defence planning in the Nordic countries
(2016-02-01)
This report communicates results from on-going studies of technology trends and their potential consequences
for capability-based defence planning in the Nordic countries. The work is built on the analysis of the
NordTech ...
Efficiency and productivity in the operational units of the armed forces: A Norwegian example
(2016)
Most nations spend a considerable part of their gross domestic product (GDP) on defense. However, no previous study has addressed productivity and efficiency in the core area of the armed forces, operational units, using ...
Seismic exploration noise reduction in the marginal ice zone
(2014)
A sonobuoy field was deployed in the Marginal Ice Zone of the Fram Strait in June 2011 to study the spatial variability of ambient noise. High noise levels observed at 10–200 Hz are attributed to distant (1400 km range) ...
Biological significance of sperm whale responses to sonar: Comparison with anti-predator responses
(2016)
A key issue when investigating effects of anthropogenic noise on cetacean behavior is to identify the biological significance of the responses. Predator presence can be considered a natural high-level disturbance stimulus ...
FFI – The Norwegian Research Centre on CBRNE Protection
(Forsvarets forskningsinstitutt, 2016-04)
The Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI) is the national research centre on protection against chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosi-ves threats (CBRNE).
A non-singular horizontal position representation
(2010-07-03)
Position calculations, e.g. adding, subtracting, interpolating, and averaging positions, depend on the representation used, both with respect to simplicity of the written code and accuracy of the result. The latitude/longitude ...
Robust kommunikasjons-infrastruktur for samhandling i krise
(Forsvarets forskningsinstitutt, 2014-11)
Kan nye digitale tjenester bidra til mer effektive brann -og redningsinnsatser i Norge, og hvor robuste er disse løsningene, gitt den eksisterende kommunikasjonsinfrastrukturen?
Systemic Chemical Desensitization of Peptidergic Sensory Neurons with Resiniferatoxin Inhibits Experimental Periodontitis
(2011)
Background and objective:
The immune system is an important player in the pathophysiology of periodontitis. The brain controls immune responses via neural and hormonal pathways, and brain-neuro-endocrine dysregulation ...
