Hybrid Electromagnetic Models for the Purpose of Detection and Identification of Visually Obscured Targets
Author: Mojtaba DehmollaianDetection And Identification Of Visually Obscured Targets
Author: Carl E. BaumPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9781560325338
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 458
Book Description
Beginning with a review of the current need for identification of buried and surface unexplored ordnance such as mines, shells, bombs, this book then explains existing techniques for electromagnetic detection of such targets. A detailed treatment of target signatures (natural frequencies and related parameters) for identification and discrimination of false alarms is also given.
Alternatives for Landmine Detection
Author: Jacqueline MacDonald GibsonPublisher: Rand Corporation
ISBN: 9780833033017
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
At the rate that government and nongovernmental organizations are clearing existing landmines, it will take 450-500 years to rid the world of them. Concerned about the slow pace of demining, the Office of Science and Technology asked RAND to assess potential innovative technologies being explored and to project what funding would be required to foster the development of the more promising ones. The authors of this report suggest that the federal government undertake a research and development effort to develop a multisensor mine detection system over the next five to eight years.

Author: Oliver MontenbruckPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642034365
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
A thorough introduction to the computation of celestial mechanics, covering everything from astronomical and computational theory to the construction of rapid and accurate applications programs. The book supplies the necessary knowledge and software solutions for determining and predicting positions of the Sun, Moon, planets, minor planets and comets, solar eclipses, stellar occultations by the Moon, phases of the Moon and much more. This completely revised edition takes advantage of C++, and individual applications may be efficiently realized through the use of a powerful module library. The accompanying CD-ROM contains the complete, fully documented and commented source codes as well as executable programs for Windows 98/2000/XP and LINUX.

Bio-Inspired Innovation and National Security
Author: National Defense UniversityPublisher: NDU Press
ISBN: 1780390408
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
Despite the vital importance of the emerging area of biotechnology and its role in defense planning and policymaking, no definitive book has been written on the topic for the defense policymaker, the military student, and the private-sector bioscientist interested in the "emerging opportunities market" of national security. This edited volume is intended to help close this gap and provide the necessary backdrop for thinking strategically about biology in defense planning and policymaking. This volume is about applications of the biological sciences, here called "biologically inspired innovations," to the military. Rather than treating biology as a series of threats to be dealt with, such innovations generally approach the biological sciences as a set of opportunities for the military to gain strategic advantage over adversaries. These opportunities range from looking at everything from genes to brains, from enhancing human performance to creating renewable energy, from sensing the environment around us to harnessing its power.
