This report presents a description of the Norwegian road transport, as well as a discussion of emerging trends and future developments in this system. The report provides the basis for FFI’s current vulnerability analysis ...

By taking advantage of the possibilities for developing user subroutines in Autodyn-3D, we implement a method that uses a virtual target to decrease runtimes for 3D problems by several orders of magnitude. The new method ...

The Norwegian Defence Research Establishment has carried out an environmental assessment study of new ammunition not containing lead. This ammunition contains a steel core instead of lead. An important approach was to ...

In this report we describe a simulator, which is capable of predicting mono-, bi- and multistatic Radar Cross Section (RCS) of Computer Aided Design (CAD)-generated objects. The model is based on physical optics (PO) and ...

Hydrolysis products of nerve agents have been analysed by HPLC coupled to an API-ES-MS in SIM mode. Parameters for the instrument were optimised for MPA, EPA, EMPA, IPMPA and PMPA. The instrument's detection limits for ...

Recent peace operations are characterised by a gap between a large number of heavily-armed military forces and the international civilian police – often few in number and if at all equipped with light weapons (the so-called ...

A description is given of physical mechanisms and promising materials which can be utilized in optical power limiting devices. The discussion is focussed on use of such limiters for protection of military electro-optic ...

Two explosives used in MP (Multipurpose) projectiles have been study in closed vessel for characterisation of burning properties. The two explosives are H-764, a HMX based explosive composition for press filling, and PETN. ...

The development of a fiber optic sensor for measurement of the differential rotation rate between two parallell axis is reported. Different designs based on the Sagnac Interferometer are considered, and a design for use ...

Measures for physical security of military objects have been proposed in an earlier work (FFI/RAPPORT-2000/06432 “Method for evaluating the security of military installations”). This report describes the system documentation ...
