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 ... -
Multimodal change monitoring using multitemporal satellite images
(2021-09-12)The main objective of this study is to monitor the land infrastructure growth over a period of time using multimodality of remote sensing satellite images. In this project unsupervised change detection analysis using ITPCA ... -
Single-point structure tensors in turbulent channel flows with smooth and wavy walls
(2019-10-06)A long-standing problem in turbulence modeling is that the Reynolds stress tensor alone is not necessarily sufficient to characterize the transient and nonequilibrium behaviors of turbulence under arbitrary mean deformation ... -
Optimization of active sonar parameters in a measured environment
(2021-09-13)ABSTRACT Sonar operation in coastal waters is challenging due to high false alarm rates and strongly varying sonar conditions. Optimal choices for sonar design and pulse characteristics depend strongly on target location ... -
Reactive Collision Avoidance for Nonholonomic Vehicles in Dynamic Environments with Obstacles of Arbitrary Shape
(2021-11-01)Over the recent years, there has been an increasing interest in autonomous systems. Consequently, the problem of avoiding static and dynamic obstacles without human interference has gained a lot of attention. Avoiding ... -
Reactive Collision Avoidance for Underactuated Surface Vehicles using the Collision Cone Concept
(2021-08)Avoiding collisions is a crucial task for autonomous systems. Many strategies for avoiding obstacles have been proposed, yet the problem of having underactuated dynamics is rarely addressed in previous studies of collision ... -
Formation Path Following Control of Underactuated USVs
(2021-06-30)This paper proposes a formation control method for two underactuated unmanned surface vessels (USVs) to follow curved paths in the presence of ocean currents. By uniting a line-of-sight (LOS) guidance law and the ... -
Characterizing the dynamic range of a hyperspectral camera
(2021-04-12)The dynamic range of a hyperspectral camera can have a strong impact on the quality and integrity of the collected spectra. For the image sensor chip alone, the dynamic range is the ratio between the saturation level and ... -
Passive Radar detection of small UAV over sea
(2019-07-22)During a trial over the Trondheim-fjord in Norway fall 2018, aDVB-T based passive radar system was used for detecting a small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) over sea. The measurements show a possible detection range of 1 ... -
Federating Tactical Edge Networks:Ways to Improve Connectivity, Security, and Network Efficiency in Tactical Heterogeneous Networks
(2020-02-14)This article elaborates on security and routing architectures for mobile tactical heterogeneous networks. It explores challenges and opportunities, and highlights the characteristics of these types of networks and their ... -
Imaging radar for navigation and surveillance on an autonomous unmanned ground vehicle capable of detecting obstacles obscured by vegetation
(2019-09-16)The Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI), has developed a multi purpose radar demonstrator for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) on the Off-road Light Autonomous Vehicle (OLAV) platform. The ... -
Characterization of the public transit air microbiome and resistome reveals geographical specificity
(2021-05-26)Background The public transit is a built environment with high occupant density across the globe, and identifying factors shaping public transit air microbiomes will help design strategies to minimize the transmission of ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Laminar burning velocity of gases vented from failed Li-ion batteries
(2021-06-10)In the last decade, several fires and explosions caused by Li-ion batteries (LIBs) have been reported. This can be attributed to the thermal runaway and catastrophic failures of LIBs that release combustible gases, which ... -
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. ... -
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 ... -
