A Russian-Western security committee? - possibilities and obstacles
(2002)The report is an attempt to outline a theoretical framework for the FFI project “Russia-partner and challenger.” It presents two central theoretical contributions to the understanding of the concept “security communities,” ... -
Multifunctional numerical tool for penetration analysis
(2002)An advanced analytical/numerical tool for calculating penetration of rigid projectiles into various materials is described. The program is based on cavity expansion theory (CET) and is a further development of an earlier ... -
Police forces with military status in international peace operations - preliminary findings
(2002)Recent peace operations are characterised by a gap between a large number of heavily-armed military forces and the international civilian police – often few in number and if at all equipped with light weapons (the so-called ... -
Burning properties of PBXN-5 - closed vessel testing
(2002)PBXN-5, a HMX based explosive composition for press filling has been studied in Closed Vessel for characterisation of burning properties. PBXN-5 has been tested as powder and in form of pressed pellets. Pellets have been ... -
Vegetation attenuation of microwaves - measurements and model evaluation
(2002)The aim of this report is to analyse measurements of vegetation attenuation at 18GHz and 38GHz. The transmitter and the receiver are both located in the forest in such a way that the main part of the radio wave propagate ... -
A game-theoretic methodology integrating weapon and C2 contribution to force effectiveness
(2000)The effect of C2 on force effectiveness is given substantial attention over the last decades. However, analysts are still struggling to reflect this effect. This paper presents a methodology that reflects the contribution ... -

Helse- og miljømessige konsekvenser ved Forsvarets bruk av røykammunisjon med hvitt fosfor
(2003)Literature about the toxic, physical and chemical properties of white phosphorus is studied to assess the health and environmental consequences from the use of white phosphorus ammunition. Information from the Norwegian ... -
Learning to play Operation Lucid from human expert games
(2003)When the number of possible moves in each state of a game becomes very high, standard methods for computer game playing are no longer feasible. We present two approaches to learning to play such a game from human expert ... -
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 ... -
Rumble measurement strategy
(2002)This note is one of the deliverables of the RUMBLE program, which aims at developing methods for using operational sonars for measuring and estimating bottom parameters. These parameters are necessary for predicting ... -
Testing av sjokkfølsomhet av Dyno I-RDX
(2002)PBXN-109 has been produced from different RDX qualities to study properties as pot-life, mechanical properties and shock sensitivity. DYNO Industrier produced the applied RDX. The first RDX quality studied was delivered ... -
Karakterisering av krutt til småkalibret ammunisjon
(2000)Five different propellants for use in small calibre ammunitions delivered by different foreign producers have been studied with regard to grain dimensions, burning characteristics and energy content. All propellants ... -
Et estimat av effekten fra fly-genererte virvler på bebyggelse i nærheten av Kjevik flyplass
(2000)At some occations, gusty winds caused by aircrafts during approach to Kjevik airport. have caused tiles to fall down from roofs, causing potential damage. In the current study, initiated by the Norwegian airtraffic and ... -

Effectiveness of forces and C2 in a semi-chaotic environment - an integrating methodology
(2001)The effect of C2 on force effectiveness is given substantial attention over the last decades. However, analysts are still struggling to reflect this effect. This report presents a methodology that reflects the contribution ... -
Penetration into concrete - analysis of small scale experiments with 12 mm projectiles
(2002)The analytical approach for predicting penetration of rigid projectiles into concrete targets indicates that the scaled penetration depth is a function of only two non-dimensional parameters. This report analyses experiments ... -
Range localication of 10-100 km shots by means of an endfire array and a waveguide invariant
(2002)During a shallow-water acoustic experiment, signals from small explosions were recorded on an endfire horizontal array. The experiment took place in open waters with relatively slow changes of the water depth with range. ...
