Models for predicting impact sensitivity of energetic materials based on the trigger linkage hypothesis and Arrhenius kinetics
(2020)In order to predict the impact sensitivity of high explosives, we designed and evaluated several models based on the trigger linkage hypothesis and the Arrhenius equation. To this effect, we calculated the heat of detonation, ... -
Human performance research for military operations in extreme cold environments
(2020)Objectives Soldier performance in the Arctic depends on planning and training, protective equipment, and human physiological limits. The purpose of this review was to highlight the span of current research on enhancing ... -
Evaluation of Message Broker Approaches for Information Exchange in Disadvantaged Tactical Networks in a Federated Environment
(2020)The research task group NATO STO/IST-150 «NATO Core Services profiling for Hybrid Tactical Networks» is working towards profiling Core Services for the tactical domain, which can be described as DIL (disconnected, intermittent ... -
A Novel IoBT Security Assessment Framework: LoRaWAN Case Study
(2020)The Internet of Things (IoT) is interesting because this potentially disruptive technology can also be used as a low-cost approach to augment information in military systems. This makes following IoT trends important ... -
Evaluering av Forsvarets logistikksystem – utvikling og anvendelse av et nytt metodisk rammeverk
(2020)Tidligere studier ved Forsvarets forskningsinstitutt har påpekt gap i Forsvarets logistikksystem. Hensikten med denne studien har vært å undersøke om Forsvarets logistikksystem, ved bruk av strategiske partnere, påvirker ... -
Performance evaluation of high-volume electret filter air samplers in aerosol microbiome research
(2020)Background Reliable identification and quantification of bioaerosols is fundamental in aerosol microbiome research, highlighting the importance of using sampling equipment with well-defined performance characteristics. ... -
Automatic object recognition within point clouds in clustered or scattered scenes
(2020)We consider the problem of automatically locating, classifying and identifying an object within a point cloud that has been acquired by scanning a scene with a ladar. The recent work [E. Bae, Automatic scene understanding ... -
Deep temporal detection - A machine learning approach to multiple-dwell target detection
(2020)Detecting small targets, such as an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) in high clutter and non-homogeneous environments is challenging for a radar system. Traditional Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) detectors have suboptimal ... -
A framework for automatic behavior generation in multi-function swarms
(2020)Multi-function swarms are swarms that solve multiple tasks at once. For example, a quadcopter swarm could be tasked with exploring an area of interest while simultaneously functioning as ad-hoc relays. With this type of ... -
Specifying radiometric performance of hyperspectral and conventional cameras: A minimal set of independent characteristics
(2020)The radiometric performance of cameras is customarily characterized and specified in terms of component properties such as F-number and readout noise. This paper considers the camera as an integrated unit and derives ... -
The Importance of Significant Others in Preventing Extremism: The Philosophy and Practice of the Swedish Tolerance Project
(2020)This article concerns a specific educational programme to reduce recruitment to racist and extreme organizations in Sweden. The programme is called the Tolerance Project, and it functions as an elective course offered to ... -
The use of Atlantic hagfish (Myxine glutinosa) as a bioindicator species for studies on effects of dumped chemical warfare agents in the Skagerrak. 2. Biochemical biomarkers
(2020)The sea bottom of the Skagerrak Strait (North Sea) contains munitions loaded with chemical warfare agents (CWA), mostly stored in shipwrecks scuttled intentionally after the end of the World War II. The munition shells ... -
The use of Atlantic hagfish (Myxine glutinosa) as a bioindicator for studies on effect of dumped chemical warfare agents in Skagerrak. 1: Liver histopathology.
(2020)Within the framework of the international project DAIMON (Decision Aid for Marine Munitions), the impact of dumped chemical munitions on fish health was investigated. The Skagerrak Straight (North Sea, at 600 m depth) ... -
Training of Neural Network Target Detectors Mentored by SO-CFAR
(2020)A desirable objective in radar detection theory is the ability to detect and recognize targets in intricate scenarios such as in the presence of clutter or multiple closely spaced targets. Herein we propose the use of ... -
A LoRa Mesh Network Asset Tracking Prototype
(2020)Long Range (LoRa) is a low powered wide area communications technology, which uses radio frequencies in the industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) band to transmit data over long distances. Due to these properties, i.e., ... -
The Motivation to Serve in the Military Among Swedish and Norwegian Soldiers. A Comparative Study
(2020)The geographic location of Sweden and Norway, combined with a deteriorated security situation in the Nordic Region and a renewed focus on national defense, makes the development of their armed forces a hot topic. In ... -
Modeling and Simulation as a Service infrastructure capabilities for discovery, composition and execution of simulation services
(2020-01-13)Modeling and Simulation as a Service (MSaaS) embodies the idea that simulations should be composed quickly for the task at hand from loosely coupled shared components, simulation services, in a cloud-based environment. ... -
