The Effects of a UAV on a Terrestrial MANET
(2018)Technological advances on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and autonomous control could make UAVs useful for communication purposes, extending the range and increasing the performance of Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs). However, ... -
Guidelines for conducting epidemiological studies of blast injury
(2018)Blast injuries are often caused by more than one mechanism, do not occur in isolation, and typically elicit a secondary multi-system response. Research efforts often do not separate blast injuries caused by blast waves ... -
Multi-watt, multi-octave, mid-infrared femtosecond source
(2018)Spectroscopy in the wavelength range from 2 to 11 μm (900 to 5000 cm−1) implies a multitude of applications in fundamental physics, chemistry, as well as environmental and life sciences. The related vibrational transitions, ... -
The Queen Bees and the Women's Team - A contextual examination of enmity and friendship between military women
(2018)In several studies of women in the Norwegian Armed Forces, we have found an assertion that female groups are so riddled with conflicts and enmity that it is preferable to keep women few in number and mixed up ... -
Tactical Router Interoperability: Concepts and Experiments
(2018)Interoperability on the lower tactical levels, e.g. in a multinational battalion or team, poses challenges because of the high degree of mobility and limited data capacity at the tactical edge. Enabling such multi-national ... -
Autonomous Optical Survey Based on Unsupervised Segmentation of Acoustic Backscatter
(2018)The application of acoustics to study the seabed have for decades provided industry and science with valuable information, and is still excels in terms of spatial coverage and detail. An acoustic response from the seabed ... -
Detection metrics and ship [D]RI
(2018)Well-known detection metrics based on Johnson criteria or Target Task Performance (TTP) models were developed for land-based targets [1,2]. In this paper we investigate how (whether) we can apply these metrics to especially ... -
Breathing patterns indicate cost of exercise during diving and response to experimental sound exposures in long-finned pilot whales
(2018)Air-breathing marine predators that target sub-surface prey have to balance the energetic benefit of foraging against the time, energetic and physiological costs of diving. Here we use on-animal data loggers to assess ... -
Measurement of point spread function for characterization of coregistration and resolution: Comparison of two commercial hyperspectral cameras
(2018)For spectral cameras, the spatial resolution and coregistration of bands are important performance characteristics. The paper discusses how these can be quantified in a way that is relevant for the spectroscopic processing ... -
Combined range ambiguity resolution and noise reduction in lidar signal processing
(2018)When the interval between transmitted pulses is shorter than the time of flight, it is not straightforward for a lidar to determine the distance uniquely. We present a method that uses varying pulse intervals, constructs ... -
DSI Suppression with Adaptive Beamforming in DVB-T Passive Radar Measurements
(2018)Adaptive beamforming (ABF) for maximizing the signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) is applied to acquisitions made by a passive bistatic radar (PBR) exposed to strong direct signal interference (DSI). The DVB-T ... -
Full characterization of spatial coregistration errors and spatial resolution in spectral imagers
(2018)For multi- and hyperspectral imagers, the integrity of the spectral information depends critically on the spatial coregistration between bands. There is at present no commonly accepted way to fully specify coregistration ... -
Fast and robust image processing algorithms based on approximations to order statistics
(2018)A test system with four cameras in the infrared and visual spectra is under development at FFI (The Norwegian Defence Research Establishment). The system can be mounted on a high speed jet aircraft, but may also be used ... -
Networking-Enabling Enhancement for a Swarm of COTS Drones
(2018)This paper presents the augmentation of a commercial-of-the-self (COTS) multi-rotor unmanned aerial system (UAS) to extend its capabilities by introducing increased on-board processing power. The option to process sensor ... -
Development of neuropathology following soman poisoning and medical countermeasures
(2018)Nerve agent-induced seizures can cause varying degrees of neuropathology depending on level of poisoning and duration of seizing. The intention of this review was to validate a novel approach for establishing effective ... -
Frequency agility radar with overlapping pulses and sparse reconstruction
(2018)The use of frequency agility has a proven track record in radar systems. Altering the radar carrier frequency over shorter intervals improves the detection capabilities for slowly fluctuating targets and increases jamming ... -
Perspectives on resilience for military readiness and preparedness: Report of an international military physiology roundtable
(2018)Modern warfare operations often occur in volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) environments accompanied by physical exertion, cognitive overload, sleep restriction and caloric deprivation. The increasingly ... -
Fremtidens autonome ubemannede kapasiteter i Sjøforsvaret
(2018)Sjøforsvaret har en lang historie med å utnytte ny teknologi for å øke den operative evne. Denne artikkelen tar sikte på å gi leseren økt forståelse av hva autonomi er, og hvordan dette kan nyttiggjøres i Sjøforsvaret. ...
