The report gives an introduction to the design of complex human-machine systems (HMS). First, definition and characterization of human-machine systems are given. Then, a process model for the development of HMSs is outlined ...

This report discusses selected military technology issues which were important during Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan 2001. The main elements pointing toward the future, were the use of UAVs, cruise missiles, ...

Thermal decontamination of the NBC-protective suit (NM143) has been studied. The NM143 overgarment consists of a liquid repellant outer layer and an inner layer of activated charcoal fixed on polyurethane foam. Small pieces ...

Project 775 was established in order to develop models for simulation of thermal signature for natural backgrounds and for vehicles. Developing a thermal signature modeling software for vehicles is a very complex task. ...

Two nearly identical automatic weather stations have been constructed. They have been applied for establishing comprehensive meteorological databases, which have been used as foundations in modelling object and ...

In project 775, models for simulation of thermal signature for natural backgrounds and for vehicles have been developed. Both models were calibrated and evaluated on the basis of meteorological data and real thermal images. ...

A model for calculation of surface temperatures of different background elements like edge of forest, heather, rock and gravel has been developed. The model is based on a simple mathematical description of the physical ...

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 ...

This report presents a description of the Norwegian civil aviation, as well as a discussion of emerging trends and future developments in this system. In combination with descriptions of Norwegian road transport, sea ...
