Hypersonic Missiles and Strategic Stability: An Analysis of Russia-US Relations

Experimental Results on the Feasibility of an Aerospike for Hypersonic Missiles

A series of wind tunnel tests have been performed on an aerospike-protected missile dome at a Mach number of 6 to obtain quantitative surface pressure and temperature-rise data, as well as qualitative flow visualization data. These data were used to determine aerospike concept feasibility and will also provide a database to be used for calibration of computational fluid dynamics codes. Data wer...

structural challenges of iran-russia strategic relations: iranian’s anti imperialism approach and russian pragmatism

regulating relations with great powers constitutes one of the most significant issues of each country’s foreign policy. iran, the soviet :union: and later russia have failed to establish strategic relations, despite their efforts to enhance mutual relations since late 1980s. it is believed that iran found it politically expedient to have ties with moscow due to its disputed relations with the w...

an infinite planar array of rectangular microstrip patch antenna analysis

the methods which are used to analyze microstrip antennas, are divited into three categories: empirical methods, semi-empirical methods and full-wave analysis. empirical and semi-empirical methods are generally based on some fundamental simplifying assumptions about quality of surface current distribution and substrate thickness. thses simplificatioms cause low accuracy in field evaluation. ful...

Cruise Missiles and Modern War: Strategic and Technological Implications

Russia and Transforming Security Relations in Europe: A Mix of Strategic and Normative Rationales

Since the end of the Cold War, Russia has retained special attention as a Eurasian country with a defining role in the evolution of the former-soviet space. We argue here that the issue of Russian evolution under Putin’s leadership has raised specific questions in the security realm, potentially affecting the entire post-soviet space and the European security architecture. This paper aims at, f...
