Networking-Enabling Enhancement for a Swarm of COTS Drones
(2018)This paper presents the augmentation of a commercial-of-the-self (COTS) multi-rotor unmanned aerial system (UAS) to extend its capabilities by introducing increased on-board processing power. The option to process sensor ... -
Combined range ambiguity resolution and noise reduction in lidar signal processing
(2018)When the interval between transmitted pulses is shorter than the time of flight, it is not straightforward for a lidar to determine the distance uniquely. We present a method that uses varying pulse intervals, constructs ... -
Multi-watt, multi-octave, mid-infrared femtosecond source
(2018)Spectroscopy in the wavelength range from 2 to 11 μm (900 to 5000 cm−1) implies a multitude of applications in fundamental physics, chemistry, as well as environmental and life sciences. The related vibrational transitions, ... -
Assessment of intake of copper and lead by sheep grazing on a shooting range for small arms: a case study.
(2018-04-11)The Norwegian Armed Forces’ shooting ranges contain contamination by metals such as lead (Pb) and copper (Cu) and are often used as grazing pastures for livestock. To determine whether the sheep were at risk from grazing ... -
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 ... -
Using Publish/Subscribe for Short-lived IoT Data
(2018-09-12)Although the use of the Internet of Things (IoT) in a smart city context primarily stems from civilian applications like management and monitoring, there are also other uses. For instance, military forces may utilize ... -
Non-destructive testing of graphene/epoxy composites using THz waves
(2018-10-05)In earlier experiments [1] we found there was significant transmission of THz radiation through carbon-fiber enforced composites, despite that fact that the dc conductivity of the carbon fibers is expected to be good and ... -
Når alt blir personlig. Trump i internasjonal politikk
(2018-12-10)Denne spalten tar for seg betydningen av personligheten til USAs 45. og sittende president, Donald Trump. Argumentet som fremmes, er at Trumps personlighet, dog mangefasettert, gjennomsyres av særlig ett karaktertrekk, ... -
Predicting Near-Time Satellite Signal Attenuation at Ka-band Using Tropospheric Weather.
(2018-12-10)There are satellite communication applications where it is desirable to predict near time (e.g. 2 to 12 h) propagation losses at Ka-band due to hydrometeor precipitation. We present results from a project investigating the ... -
Advice from the Scientific Advisory Board of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons on riot control agents in connection to the Chemical Weapons Convention
(2018-12-19)Compounds that cause powerful sensory irritation to humans were reviewed by the Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) in response to requests in 2014 and 2017 ... -
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 ... -
Distributed fusion in underwater sensor networks: Fusing bearing information
(2019)In underwater sensor networks, distributed data fusion may be more efficient than centralized fusion because the limited data transmission capacity can make it difficult to collect all required sensor information at a ... -
ESTIMATING RANGE DEPENDENT SEDIMENT THICKNESS AND REFLECTION COEFFICIENTS FROM BATHYMETRIC DATA FOR IMPROVED SONAR PERFORMANCE MODELLING
(2019)Knowledge about the underwater environment is critical to anti-submarine warfare operations in littoral waters. The sonar settings and depth selections can significantly affect the predicted sonar performance. Bathymetry ... -
(Invited) Changes in Thermal Stability of Cyclic Aged Commercial Lithium-Ion Cells
(2019)Thermal stability is one of several factors affecting the safety properties of lithium-ion cells. The thermal stability for uncycled cells is well-documented, but the effect of cyclic ageing on thermal stability is far ... -
Synthesis and characterization of Al@MOF materials
(2019)The potential impregnation of Al(0) nanoparticles in the pores of three different metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), MIL-53-Al, HKUST-1, and UiO-67, was investigated through the suspension of the MOFs in AlH3•NMe2Et (1), ...
