Optimizing the troops-to-tasks problem in military operations planning
(2015)In the planning of military operations, deciding who should do what, where, and when is crucial for the success of the operation. This troops-to-tasks analysis is a project scheduling problem closely related to the ... -
Towards Using Reinforcement Learning for Autonomous Docking of Unmanned Surface Vehicles
(2022-06-10)Providing full autonomy to Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USV) is a challenging goal to achieve. Autonomous docking is a subtask that is particularly difficult. The vessel has to distinguish between obstacles and the dock, and ... -
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 ... -
Spawning Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) exposed to noise from seismic airguns do not abandon their spawning site
(2022-11-15)Seismic airgun surveys may disturb and displace fish at large ranges. If such displacement causes fish to abandon spawning grounds, reproductive success could be impacted. To investigate whether airgun sound causes cod ... -
Adaptive suppression of smart jamming with FDA permutation
(2022-05-03)By adding a frequency increment to the carrier frequency of the pulses transmitted from an antenna array, it becomes possible to make the beam dependent on both frequency and range. This is called a frequency diverse ... -
A Performance Characteristic for Net Light Collection in Hyperspectral and Conventional Cameras: A*
(2022-12-09)The signal-to-noise ratio of modern cameras under normal operating conditions tends to be limited by “photon noise” originating from the random arrival of photons. For best signal-to-noise ratio, it is desirable to collect ... -
Imitation learning for modelling air combat behaviour — an exploratory study
(2023-01-13)Fighter pilots commonly use simulators to practice their required tactics, techniques and procedures. The training may involve computer-generated forces controlled by predefined behaviour models. Such behaviour models ... -
The future of military force – the impact of emerging technologies and defense innovation on state force structures
(2023-01-12)Technological change influences military operations. This represents a significant factor in the outcome of military conflicts. State actors therefore invest substantial resources to develop emerging and potentially ... -
A risk-increasing safety strategy? Evaluating the Traditional Risk-mitigating Strategy in Dealing with Dumped Ammunition and Explosive Remnants of War
(2022-10-16)In Norway, hundreds of thousands of tonnes of explosive remnants of war remain in nature. It has always been recognized that the ordnance could represent a certain explosive risk if disturbed, and that some of the constituents ... -
Genome Editing for Soldier Enhancement – trends and implications
(2020-10-22)This memo explores the emerging field of genome editing technology for soldier enhancement and maps out some possible applications of the technology and implications for military operations. -
Bør vi samarbeide? – en litteraturstudie om valg av sourcingstrategi
(2023-01-02)Samarbeid mellom forsvarssektoren og det sivile næringslivet har i løpet av de tre siste langtids-planperiodene fått økt oppmerksomhet. Meld. St. 17 (2020–2021) «Samarbeid for sikkerhet – Nasjonal forsvarsindustriell ... -
Generalization and stabilization of exact scattering solutions for spherical symmetric scatterers
(2022-08-29)In a previous work the authors described a fast high-fidelity computer model for acoustic scattering from multi-layered elastic spheres. This work is now extended with a scaling strategy significantly mitigating the problem ... -
Anonymous Tokens with Public Metadata and Applications to Private Contact Tracing
(2022-10-22)Anonymous single-use tokens have seen recent applications in private Internet browsing and anonymous statistics collection. We develop new schemes in order to include public metadata such as expiration dates for tokens. ... -
Mobbing og seksuell trakassering ved FB, FD, FMA og FFI
(2023-01-06)I juni 2022 gjennomførte vi en spørreundersøkelse om mobbing og seksuell trakassering i Forsvarsdepartementet (FD) og de underliggende etatene Forsvarsbygg (FB), Forsvarets forskningsinstitutt (FFI) og Forsvarsmateriell ... -
Cost-Effective Flight Strategy for Aerial Thermography Inspection of Photovoltaic Power Plants
(2022-11-06)Thermography from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) is widely used for module condition surveys and defect detection in solar (photovoltaic) power plants. This article presents an optimized defect inspection procedure in which ... -
Collision Avoidance for Underactuated Surface Vehicles in the Presence of Ocean Currents
(2022-11-29)This paper considers the problem of collision avoidance for surface vehicles moving under the influence of ocean currents. The vehicles we consider have underactuated dynamics, where the vehicle cannot directly control its ... -
Freezing Unicast Paths in Sensor Swarms
(2022-09-22)Drone swarms have great potential to convey sensor information. However, a swarm may have a very high degree of topology dynamics. This impedes the sensor data distribution from the sensor node to consumers which are ... -
Aerosol transport in idealized wind-wave systems
(2022-12-22)This report deals with aerosol transport in turbulent wind over water waves. For simple terrain onshore, there appears to be consensus that aerosol transport is well described by simple models. However, for complex terrain ... -
Change detection on shipwrecks using synthetic aperture sonar – North Sea Wrecks Task 3.5 Deep Water Case Study
(2022-12-16)During the last 15 years, synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) technology has matured substantially. Today SAS represents state-of-the-art in seabed imaging and mapping when used on autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV). SAS ... -
