Light Armored Vehicles meet the requirement for rapid deployment by replacing passive armor with sensors, computers and countermeasures to detect and avoid threats. This emphasis on threat avoidance in an environment of increasing operational tempo results in major issues including: cognitive overload, training and skill decay and the significance of the man-machine interface. Modelling and simulation play an important role in these developments. The integration of various technologies into a...

As technology advances, computing environments composed of large numbers of workstations and mainframes connected by a high bandwidth local area network become attractive. These systems typically support a large number of application classes, and the heterogeneity of their workload, coupled with the decentralization of the systems, can lead to load imbalances across the network. This work attempts to study the benefits of load balancing strategies in the context of a particular application,...

In this paper, we investigate two facets of speaker recognition : cross-language speaker identification and same language non-native text-independent speaker identification. In this context, experiments have been conducted, using standard multi-gaussian modeling, on the brand new multi-language TNO corpus. Our results indicate how speaker identification performance might be affected when speakers do not use the same language during the training and testing, or when the population is composed of...

Sea ice serves as a natural flux monitor of the global heat balance. This capability is attributed to the unique location of sea ice at the interface of the world's two largest circulation systems the air and ocean. The increased awareness of warming in the polar region has precipitated increased efforts to measure sea ice thickness as an index for global heat changes. This increased awareness has brought with it the development of several new prototype in situ, telemetry, and satellite remote...

The AFRL algorithm obtains equatorward boundaries of auroral precipitation from electron fluxes measured by SSJ sensors on DMSP satellites. Gussenhoven and coworkers provided the empirical basis for the algorithm, showing that auroral boundaries correlate linearly with the Kp geomagnetic index. This report describes (a) the DMSP database, (b) derived statistical parameters, (c) tests performed on these statistics, and (d) the utility of test results. We illustrate the algorithm's method of...

A basic, and often key, component of any battlefield representation is the forces involved. Obtaining high-resolution force structure data has always been a major task. This is true whether the representation is for simulated or actual operations. However, the problem extends far beyond simply obtaining a single force structure snapshot. The real challenge is maintaining the data, especially when numerous other programs are creating and linking their data to the force structure. This paper...

The purpose of this project is to develop two kinds of composite structural health monitoring approaches. One is a passive element based on the impact force identification combined with a database. This database can quickly evaluate the impact-induced damages in composites by employing the identified impact force. It can be built up by using a powerful numerical model for impact damage evaluation with the help of experimental data. Another is an active element based on the Lamb wave. These two...

A friend of mine was part of a team assigned to build a networking product. Just as they were finishing up someone asked, What about security? At that point, it was a little late to do much about the system's security architecture, so they ultimately rolled out the product with a sprinkling of security sugar. The customer, who didn't even know how to ask for security, was pleased and probably will be until disaster strikes. This is just one example of the insufficient attention paid to security...

Accurate deployment data, when correlated with manpower metrics such as divorce, separation, and suicide rates, can provide a representative assessment of stress on the force. The United States Marine Corps (USMC) is involved in a conflict that can potentially last a generation. Given this level of operational commitment, the Marine Corps is sensitive to the ramifications, both long- and short-term, of increased operational tempo. The negative ramifications are commonly referred to as stress on...

The Specular-Cued Surveillance Web (SPECSweb) multistatic tracker effectively reduces false track rate through the use of two amplitude thresholds. A high threshold is used to identify the occurrence of high-strength specular detection cues for track initiation. A low threshold is used for selective extraction of additional detections for track extension forward and backward in time. This approach significantly reduces the node-to-fusion-center communication loading requirements as well as...
