Abstraction-decomposition space for critical infrastructure systems: A framework for infrastructure planning and resilience policies
(2022-04-20)
The objective of this work has been to propose a framework that will aid governments with the development of more coherent and effective infrastructure planning and resilience policies through a system-of-systems approach ...
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, ...
The Rapidly Exploring Random Tree Funnel Algorithm
(2022-03-17)
This paper shows the feasibility of combining robust
motion primitives generated through the Sums Of Squares
programming theory with a discrete Rapidly exploring Random
Tree algorithm. The generated robust motion ...
Destined for deadlock? Russia, Ukraine, and the unfulfilled Minsk agreements
(2020-01-27)
Bringing peace, security, and stability to the war-torn region of Donbas has proven to be a challenging — some would say near-impossible — task. The "Minsk II" agreement, signed in February 2015, was supposed to put an end ...
A Bayesian Network Approach to Evaluating the Effectiveness of Modern Mine Hunting
(2021-10-29)
This paper describes a novel technique for estimating how many mines remain after a
full or partial underwater mine hunting operation. The technique applies Bayesian fusion of all
evidence from the heterogeneous sensor ...
Spectral properties of multilayered oak leaves and a camouflage net: experimental measurements and mathematical modelling
(2021-09-21)
The development of state-of-the-art surveillance technology forces nations to develop camouflage with advanced capabilities. Owing to the abundance and wide distribution of leaves, their spectral properties are often ...
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 ...
Øke bemanningen i Forsvaret i dramatisk nedgangskonjunktur? En samfunnsøkonomisk vurdering
(2021)
Koronapandemien har resultert i kraftige fall i etterspørsel, produksjon og sysselsetting i Norge
og internasjonalt. Arbeidsledigheten i Norge er nå unormalt høy. Arbeidsøkonomisk litteratur
har påvist at det er kostbart ...
Multibeam Echosounder With Orthogonal Waveforms: Feasibility and Potential Benefits
(2021-04-15)
Modern multibeam echosounders (MBE) employ frequency-division techniques (FDT) to ensonify multiple sectors within the same ping cycle. This leads to improved performance in coverage rate, and yaw and pitch stabilization. ...
Spatial coherence of speckle for repeat-pass synthetic aperture sonar micronavigation
(2021-03-31)
Accurate positioning of autonomous underwater vehicles is a major challenge. The long-term drift is problematic if global position updates are not available, and for applications such as repeat-pass interferometry and ...
