USRP based cognitive radar testbed
(2017)Cognitive radar is a relatively new field of research and the existence of low cost experimental testbeds is limited. This work will show the development of a low cost experimental testbed for experimental validation of ... -
Military Off the Shelf Procurements: A Norwegian Case Study
(2017-06-19)Buying off the shelf procurements (OTS) has become an important part of the national acquisition strategy in several countries, and this paper seeks to bring empirical evidence on OTS as the preferred acquisition strategy ... -
A 3D Reactive Collision Avoidance Algorithm for Underactuated Vehicles
(2018)This paper presents a 3D reactive collision avoidance algorithm for vehicles with underactuated dynamics. The underactuated states cannot be directly controlled, but are controlled indirectly by steering the direction of ... -
Sensemaking and decision-making in a joint military context: The role of translating, verifying and prioritizing information
(2018)This article, based on fieldwork during a military exercise in Norway, analyzes how new technology is used in joint operations by military personnel and how it is connected to sense-making and decision-taking. The authors' ... -
Detection metrics and ship [D]RI
(2018)Well-known detection metrics based on Johnson criteria or Target Task Performance (TTP) models were developed for land-based targets [1,2]. In this paper we investigate how (whether) we can apply these metrics to especially ... -
Autonomous Optical Survey Based on Unsupervised Segmentation of Acoustic Backscatter
(2018)The application of acoustics to study the seabed have for decades provided industry and science with valuable information, and is still excels in terms of spatial coverage and detail. An acoustic response from the seabed ... -
Autonomous, Cooperative UAV Operations Using COTS Consumer Drones and Custom Ground Control Station
(2018)The benefits of using UA Vs for inexpensive aerial surveillance and survey have been widely accepted, and UAVs are routinely assisting humans performing ISR operations. While large countries and well-funded military ... -
Identification of mixed substances using a random forest regressor to classify THz absorbance spectra
(2018)We report on the development and application of a random forest regressor that not only identifies but also estimates the relative concentrations of substances (one explosive and two simulants), both in one-substance and ... -
Frequency agility radar with overlapping pulses and sparse reconstruction
(2018)The use of frequency agility has a proven track record in radar systems. Altering the radar carrier frequency over shorter intervals improves the detection capabilities for slowly fluctuating targets and increases jamming ... -
The Effects of a UAV on a Terrestrial MANET
(2018)Technological advances on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and autonomous control could make UAVs useful for communication purposes, extending the range and increasing the performance of Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs). However, ... -
Guidelines for using animal models in blast injury research
(2018)Blast injury is a very complex phenomenon and frequently results in multiple injuries. One method to investigate the consequences of blast injuries is with the use of living systems (animal models). The use of animals ... -
Full characterization of spatial coregistration errors and spatial resolution in spectral imagers
(2018)For multi- and hyperspectral imagers, the integrity of the spectral information depends critically on the spatial coregistration between bands. There is at present no commonly accepted way to fully specify coregistration ... -
Perspectives on resilience for military readiness and preparedness: Report of an international military physiology roundtable
(2018)Modern warfare operations often occur in volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) environments accompanied by physical exertion, cognitive overload, sleep restriction and caloric deprivation. The increasingly ... -
Single-Cell Tracking of A549 Lung Cancer Cells Exposed to a Marine Toxin Reveals Correlations in Pedigree Tree Profiles
(2018)Long-term video-based tracking of single A549 lung cancer cells exposed to three different concentrations of the marine toxin yessotoxin (YTX) reveals significant variation in cytotoxicity, and it confirms the potential ... -
Metrics and provider-based results for completeness and temporal resolution of satellite-based AIS services
(2018)Collecting AIS messages from ships by satellites allows for maritime situational awareness, and a wide range of commercial applications, at global and regional scales. This work provides methods and indicators for evaluation ... -
Very-High-Frequency Single-Input–Multiple-Output Acoustic Communication in Shallow Water
(2018)Very-high-frequency (VHF) underwater acoustic communication is a relatively unexplored terrain, but its importance is expected to increase with the growing demands for larger bandwidths and higher data rates. Knowledge of ... -
Supporting artificial intelligence with artificial images
(2018)Infrared (IR) imagery is frequently used in security/surveillance and military image processing applications. In this article we will consider the problem of outlining military naval vessels in such images. Obtaining these ...
