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 ... -
Tunable holmium-doped fiber laser with multiwatt operation from 2025 nm to 2200 nm
(2019-11-18)The emission band of holmium-doped silica fibers extends beyond 2200 nm, which means these lasers have the potential of covering considerable parts of the atmospheric transmission window between ∼2100 nm and 2250 nm. ... -
Challenges for Risk and Security Modelling in Enterprise Architecture
(2019-11-19)From our experience cooperating with the Norwegian Armed Forces, we outline two interconnected challenges for modelling risk and security in an enterprise architecture: (1) modelling what is protected and why it is protected ... -
In-orbit AIS performance of the Norwegian microsatellites NorSat-1 and NorSat-2
(2019-11-21)Two Norwegian AIS-satellites, NorSat-1 and NorSat-2, were launched in July 2017. Both are equipped with the ASR x50, the latest space-AIS receiver developed by Kongsberg Seatex AS, ofering advanced signal processing and ... -
SMART II: Android apps, cloud computing and mobile device management as enablers for efficient operations
(2019-11-25)"SMART" { pervasive situational awareness at the individual soldier level { was a Concept Development and Experimentation (CD&E) project carried out in Norway during 2016. The concept being tested was the use of smart ... -
Mobile Tactical Forces: Experiments on Multi-broker Messaging Middleware in a Coalition Setting
(2019-11-25)The environment in which tactical forces operate is characterized by disconnected intermittent connectivity and limited bandwidth (DIL). This environment significantly constrains the application of widely used technologies. ... -
A socio-cognitive perspective on implementation and use of smart technology in the Norwegian home guard
(2019-11-25)The Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI) has developed a communications concept for the Norwegian home guard (HV). This concept, called ”SMART” due to the emphasis on smart technologies, has been realized as a ... -
Towards friendly force tracking with MQTT over LoRa
(2019-11-25)With the steady growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the civilian commercial sector, the question arises as to whether such IoT concepts can also be used for defense purposes. Military needs, especially those that ... -
Strategy for Detection and High-Resolution Characterization of Authigenic Carbonate Cold Seep Habitats Using Ships and Autonomous Underwater Vehicles on Glacially Influenced Terrain
(2019-11-26)Cold seep habitats with authigenic carbonates and associated chemosynthetic communities in glacially influenced terrains constitute an important part of the benthic ecosystems, but they are difficult to detect in large-scale ... -
Comparison of synthetic aperture sonar images and optical images of UXOs from the Skagerrak chemical munitions dumpsite
(2019-11-28)After World War II chemical munitions were loaded onto large ships and sunk in the Skagerrak Strait in the Norwegian trench, in deep waters between Norway and Denmark. In collaboration with the Norwegian Coastal Administration, ... -
Development and Calibration of a Low-Cost Radar Testbed Based on the Universal Software Radio Peripheral
(2019-12-01)For a cognitive radar algorithm to be useful, it must run on radar hardware that is flexible. Typically, this has been viewed as requiring a software-defined radio. With the emergence of cheap, digital transceiver systems, ... -
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 ... -
