Damper models and their impact on shock response
(2022-10-26)
Mechanical vibration and shocks may be devastating, in particular to military equipment. Therefore,
vibration and shock damping are of crucial importance to military hardware. Vibrations can cause
material fatigue. They ...
Equipment to tag, track and collect biopsies from whales and dolphins: the ARTS, DFHorten and LKDart systems
(2022-10-21)
Of all animals considered subjects for instrumentation for behavioral or physiological studies, cetaceans probably represent the greatest challenge to the engineer and biologist. The marine environment being harsh to ...
Vibrational Corrections to NMR Spin-Spin Coupling Constants from Relativistic Four-Component DFT Calculations
(2022-09-22)
Zero-point vibrational (ZPV) corrections to the nuclear spin–spin coupling constants have been calculated using four-component Dirac–Kohn–Sham DFT for H2X (where X = O, S, Se, Te, Po), XH3 (where X = N, P, As, Sb, Bi), and ...
Tribal engagement strategies in the Islamic Emirate of Azawad
(2022-09-02)
The Tuareg uprising in northern Mali in 2012 culminated in the establishment of the Islamic Emirate of Azawad, a proto-state run jointly by Tuareg Islamists in Ansar Dine and foreign jihadists with connections to al-Qaida ...
Konsekvenser av klimaendringer og klimatilpasninger for Forsvaret fram mot 2040 – rapport til Forsvarskommisjonen
(2022-12-05)
Nato slår fast at klimaendringer er vår tids viktigste overordnede utfordring i «Climate Change & Security Impact Assessment» fra 2022. Verdenssamfunnet opplever allerede i dag første- og andrehåndseffekter av klimaendringer. ...
Logistics as a security policy tool – exploring motivations for allied support in the case of Norway
(2022-12-10)
How, if at all, might logistics serve as a security policy tool for increasing the likelihood of allied support? Over the last few years, European NATO allies such as Germany and France have expressed uncertainty about the ...
VErsatile RAdar – RFSoC based radar demonstrator for multiple applications
(2022-10-04)
The Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI) VeRa (Versatile Radar) is a radar demonstrator for multiple applications based on the 1st generation Xilinx RF System on Chip (RFSoC). This paper describes the hardware ...
Molecular properties of energetic materials and the use of quantumchemical methods for their determination
(2022-11-11)
Energetic materials find countless applications of relevance to the defence sector, as typical classes of energetic materials are propellants, explosives and fuels. To ensure safe handling of such materials, obtaining ...
Automatisering i framtidens arbeidsliv - hva kan Forsvaret lære av kompetansereisen til sivile virksomheter, som er langt fremme innen digitalisering og automatisering?
(Sopra Steria, 2022-05)
Digitalisering handler om å innføre teknologi, endre prosesser og organisasjoner. For å ta ut gevinstene og mulighetene av digitaliseringen, må kompetansen i virksomhetene tilpasses og oppdateres i tråd med teknologien som ...
A Computational Protocol for Vibrational Circular Dichroism Spectra of Cyclic Oligopeptides
(2022-08-05)
Cyclic peptides are a promising class of compounds for next-generation antibiotics as they may provide new ways of limiting antibiotic resistance development. Although their cyclic structure will introduce some rigidity, ...
