(2002)This paper analyzes the Syrian involvement in Lebanon following the end of the Lebanese civil war in 1989/90 and until the death of Syrian President Hafiz al-Asad, which marked the end of an era. The author argues that ... -
Incentivers effekt på turnover
(2002)This FFI report is based on the final Master of Management project assignment from the Norwegian Business School. The report looks into the kind of attitudes employees have towards turnover. To find out more, the report ... -
Miljøkartlegging av åtte skytebaner - vurdering av potensialet for mobilisering av tungmetaller
(2002)It has been carried out an environmental assessment study of eight shooting ranges for small arms. The main purpose of the study was to evaluate the potential for mobilization of soluble heavy metal species from contaminated ... -
Informasjonsinfrastruktur for NBF
(2002)This report is part of a report series that describes central technology areas for the future defence. The topic presented is information infrastructure for Network Centric Warfare (NCW). The future defence will move in ... -
Broadband inversion and source localization of vertical array data from the L-antenna experiment in 1999
(2002)Matched field processing techniques have been demonstrated on vertical array data from the 1999 L-antenna experiment. Both single-frequency and broadband inversion of geoacoustic and geometric parameters were carried ... -
VoluViz 1.0 report
(2002)VoluViz is a direct volume rendering application based on SGI's OpenGL Volumizer 2 and OpenGL, and is designed for interactive viewing of three-dimensional volume data. Its features include trilinear interpolation, ... -

(2002)This design is a multipurpose programmable processing card. It is based on three Field Programmable Arrays from Xilinx. This report describes the hardware and layout for usage of this card. -
Radardekningssimulator - fysikk
(2002)Project 726 has developed a multistatic radar coverage prediction tool for frequencies above 100MHz. Various physical effects such as reflection, diffraction, refraction, attenuation due to precipitation and atmospheric ... -
Mid-infrared laser source - operators guide
(2002)A mid-infrared laser source, based on an optical parametric oscillator pumped by a Nd:YVO4 laser at 1.06 μm wavelength, is described. The nonlinear material is periodically-poled lithium niobate (PPLN). The source operates ... -
Polarization dependence in CHESS fiber optic strain monitoring system based on fiber Bragg gratings
(2002)This report describes the polarization dependence in the hull monitoring system CHESS, developed in FFI project 79301 CHESS II. The report describes the polarization behaviour of some main components in the system, ... -
Cavity expansion theory applied to the penetration of high speed spheres into weak targets
(2002)As a first attempt at identifying a tissue model for use in wound ballistic simulations a study of the deceleration of spherical steel projectiles in soap has been carried out. Experimental data were compared to numerical ... -
Norwegian defence reforms of the 1990s
(2002)This report gives an overview of the Norwegian Defence Reforms of the 1990s focussing on defence concept evolution, the planning process, implementation issues, funding, time horizon for planning and lessons identified. ... -
ESDP and the non-EU NATO members
(2002)This report highlights challenges faced by the non-EU NATO members as the EU elaborates a common policy of security and defence. One conclusion is that the 6 non-EU NATO members have different security and defence approaches ... -
Decontamination of NBC-protective garments - part 5: Thermal decontamination of the protective suit NM 143
(2002)Thermal decontamination of the NBC-protective suit (NM143) has been studied. The NM143 overgarment consists of a liquid repellant outer layer and an inner layer of activated charcoal fixed on polyurethane foam. Small pieces ... -
