MISSILES AND AIRCRAFT - PART 4

New criterion for aircraft susceptibility to infrared guided missiles

This paper assesses aircraft susceptibility from the first principles, with respect to the threat posed by passively guided infrared homing missiles; with an objective of gaining insight into the comprehensiveness of the relationship between aircraft susceptibility and aircraft infrared signature level. The conventional criterion of aircraft susceptibility assessment based on its lock-on envelo...

Evolutionary Guidance for Multiple Missiles

A new approach to guiding a swarm of missiles using an on-line evolutionary algorithm to optimise the flight paths is introduced. The missiles are flown via intermediate points which are adjusted dynamically by the evolutionary algorithm, then towards the point of impact with the target, thus altering the trajectory shape. Evolutionary algorithms are robust global optimisation techniques and ar...

part 4: pre and post test probabilities and fagan’s nomogram

emergency physicians face numerous questions regarding proper management of patients and selection of the best laboratory test or imaging every day. knowledge on screening performance characteristics of the diagnostic tools used in this department plays an important role in finding the answers to these questions. we assessed these characteristics in the previous parts of educational article ser...
