Interoperable, adaptable, information exchange in NATO coalition operations
(2022-10-01)This paper summarises our work on policy- enabled inter-network routing for mobile networks and adapting information services to available networking resources in tactical networks. The work ... -
Interstate Relations in the Arctic: An Emerging Security Dilemma?
(2014)The five states that surround the Arctic Ocean— Russia, Canada, the United States, Denmark, and Norway—have in recent years taken various measures to protect their economic and security interests in the north. The measures ... -
Intracavity molecular spectroscopy in the mid-IR using ultra-broadband optical parametric oscillator
(2013)We have performed intracavity molecular spectroscopy of water vapor, isotopic carbon dioxide, methane, acetylene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and other gases using broadband mid-IR sync-pumped OPO sources (PPLN-based OPO ... -
Intracavity trace molecular detection with a broadband mid-IR frequency comb source
(2013)Ultrasensitive detection of methane, isotopic carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, acetylene, and ethylene is performed in the spectral range 2.5–5 μm using intracavity spectroscopy in broadband optical parametric ... -
Introducing Randomness into First-Order and Second-Order Deterministic Differential Equations
(2010)We incorporate randomness into deterministic theories and compare analytically and numerically some well-known stochastic theories: the Liouville process, the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, and a process that is Gaussian and ... -
Introducing the Jihadi Plots in EuropeDataset (JPED)
(2023-02-21)The article introduces a new dataset on terrorist attack activity by jihadis in Western Europe. The dataset was built over nearly two decades at the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment. It records not only attacks ... -
Introduction: Training is more important than technology (for performance in the cold)
(2023-07-27)After more than 50 years of studying soldiers in the cold, we are well past the phase of defining the unique problems; the research requirements are known but the solutions have been slow in coming. This requires iterative ... -
Inverse scattering of dispersive stratified structures
(2012)We consider the inverse-scattering problem of retrieving the structural parameters of a stratified medium consisting of dispersive materials, given knowledge of the complex reflection coefficient in a finite frequency ... -
Investigating robustness of adversarial camouflage (AC) for naval vessels
(2020-09-20)The use of camouflage is widespread in the biological domain, and has also been used extensively by armed forces around the world in order to make visual detection and classification of objects of military interest ... -
Investigation of new orexin 2 receptor modulators using in silico and in vitro methods
(2018)The neuropeptides, orexin A and orexin B (also known as hypocretins), are produced in hypothalamic neurons and belong to ligands for orphan G protein-coupled receptors. Generally, the primary role of orexins is to act as ... -
Investigation of Theoretical Models for the Elastic Stiffness of Nanoparticle-Modified Polymer Composites
(2015)Mathematical models are investigated and suggested for the calculation of the elastic stiffness of polymer nanocomposites. Particular emphasis is placed on the effect on the elastic stiffness from agglomerates and the ... -
Investment cost escalation – an overview of the literature and revised estimates
(2016)This article presents an overview of literature and previous estimates of defence specific investment cost escalation (ICE). ICE, the cost increase between two generations of a weapon system, can place a heavy strain on ... -
(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 ... -
Iron Cannot Fight - The Role of Technology in Current Russian Military Theory
(2011)Contemporary Russian military theory is dominated by three schools of thought: the ‘traditionalists’, the ‘modernists’ and the ‘revolutionaries’. On the role of technology in future warfare, the traditionalists argue for ... -
Is established knowledge about cross-cultural differences in individualism–collectivism not applicable to the military? A multi-method study of cross-cultural differences in behavior.
(2017)Preparing for international military collaboration includes raising knowledge about cultural differences. The differences in individualism–collectivism between countries are among the most central aspects likely to impact ... -
Is it Possible to Increase the Share of Military Women in the Norwegian Armed Forces?
(2014)Ever since Norway introduced general conscription for men in 1897, the participation of women in the Norwegian Armed Forces (NorAF) has been an issue for discussion. In 1984 the NorAF introduced occupational equality ... -
The Islamic state after the caliphate
(2019-10-14)Following the Islamic State loss of most of its territorial control and the fall of its self-declared Caliphate, many have warned that it is too early to declare that the group is defeated. The group has previously been ... -
Islamic State and Technology – A Literature Review
(2017)This article offers an overview of the literature on how the Islamic State has used different technologies, primarily within the fields of drone technology, CBRN and communication technology. The author argues that the ... -
Islamic State Nasheeds As Messaging Tools
(2016)Although jihadi nasheeds play an important role in the Islamic State's propaganda, there is scant literature on the topic. This article is an exploratory study on seventeen Islamic State nasheeds released between December ... -
Isocyanate-Free and Dual Curing of Smokeless Composite Rocket Propellants
(2013)Traditional composite rocket propellants are cured by treatment of hydroxyl-terminated prepolymers with polyfunctional aliphatic isocyanates. For development of smokeless composite propellants containing nitramines and/or ...
