Sex differences in the physiological response to a demanding military field exercise
(2020)Purpose To investigate sex differences in the effect of a military field exercise on physical performance, body composition, and blood biomarkers. Methods Measurements were done in 23 male and 12 female conscripts ... -
Big Five Personality Profiles in the Norwegian Special Operations Forces
(2020-05-05)This study is the first to report on Big Five personality traits of employees in the Norwegian military Special Operations Forces (NORSOF). Three research questions were formulated for this study, aiming to investigate (1) ... -
GO-CFAR Trained Neural Network Target Detectors
(2019)Detecting targets embedded in noise and clutter is an essential task for many radar systems. A competent system must additionally offer high probability of detection with a low false alarm rate and a standard practice is ... -
The threat of war and domestic restraints to defence reform- how fear of major military conflict changed and did not change the Ukrainian military 2014-2019
(2019-12-19)The annexation of Crimea and the Russia enabled rebellion in Donbas created a need for radical improvements of Ukrainian military capability. This study discusses how different, mostly domestic, reform drivers and reform ... -
The Emergence of Russian Private Military Companies: A New Tool of Clandestine Warfare
(2020-03-19)In recent years, the Russian private security and military company (PMSC) industry has evolved to serve the needs of both business clients as well as governments. Thus far, the ties between the Kremlin and the Russian PMSC ... -
Scaling Behavior of Quasi-One-Dimensional Vortex Avalanches in Superconducting Films
(2020-03-27)Scaling behaviour of dynamically driven vortex avalanches in superconducting YBa2Cu3O7−δ films deposited on tilted crystalline substrates has been observed using quantitative magneto-optical imaging. Two films with different ... -
A decomposition solution approach to the troops-to-tasks assignment in military peacekeeping operations
(2019-09-20)This paper considers the Peacekeeping Troops-to-Tasks Problem (PTTP). The PTTP deals with assigning battlegroup resources to a set of tasks associated with a given peacekeeping mission. The tasks may be spread across several ... -
Explosion characteristics for Li-ion battery electrolytes at elevated temperatures
(2019-01-28)Li-ion batteries are used in electronic devices and electric cars, yet they create safety concerns due to the possibility of the release of combustible materials. The electrolyte, one of the main components in a Li-ion ... -
Comparing RLS and LMS adaptive equalizers for large hydrophone arrays in underwater acoustic communication channels
(2019-10-14)There is an expected growth in underwater acoustic data traffic. To meet the demand of high data throughput, a migration towards the very high frequency band (>100 kHz) will be necessary. The increment in frequency comes ... -
Calibration target for extraction of frequency dependency in synthetic aperture sonar
(2019-12-03)Synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) can provide high resolution images of the seafloor backscatter. A current research topic is whether wider bandwidth and lower frequencies can support better discrimination of different ... -
Automating Behaviour Tree Generation for Simulating Troop Movements
(2018-08-08)Computer generated forces are simulated units that are used in simulation based training and decision support in the military. These simulations are used to help trainees build a mental model of how different scenarios ... -
Solving non-linear Boolean equation systems by variable elimination
(2019-08-17)In this paper we study Boolean equation systems, and how to eliminate variables from them while bounding the degree of polynomials produced. A procedure for variable elimination is introduced, and we relate the techniques ... -
Linear motion of multiple superposed viscous fluids
(2019-04-16)In this paper the small-amplitude motion of multiple superposed viscous fluids is studied as a linearized initial-value problem. The analysis results in a closed set of equations for the Laplace transformed amplitudes of ... -
Evaluation of safety distances for storage of explosive materials using a combination of thermochemical computations and CFD
(2019-01-14)A novel approach to calculating TNT equivalencies and safety distances for explosives, using a combination of thermochemical computations and computational fluid dynamics, is presented. This enables the estimation of safety ... -
Wargaming Evolved: Methodology and Best Practices for Simulation-Supported Wargaming
(2019-12-12)When developing and assessing future force structures, wargaming is a key activity for better understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the force structures. Today simulation systems let us create synthetic environments ... -
Generalized Periodic Vehicle Routing and Maritime Surveillance
(2019-11-18)Planning maritime surveillance activities in military operations and long-term defense planning is a huge task that is done manually today. Because maritime surveillance resources are extremely expensive, the potential ...
