Small Arms Survey 2012 : Moving Targets
نویسندگان
چکیده
The methods for estimating the annual global value of imports of parts and accessories are presented in Chapter 8 of the Small Arms Survey 2012, ‘Piece by Piece: Authorized Transfers of Parts and Accessories’ (Grzybowski, Marsh, and Schroeder, 2012, pp. 247–50). This annexe contains additional details on some of the data and estimation techniques used in the chapter, including for the estimate of imports of weapon parts; it also discusses the revisions of the estimates of imports of firearms and light weapons originally conducted in 2009 and 2011, respectively.

Study Objectives
The main objectives of the study are to: ■ assess the number of illicit small arms in Kenya; ■ identify the sources and prevalence of small arms and their movement in and out of Kenya; ■ assess the capacity of various actors involved in small arms control and peace-building efforts in the country; ■ assess the role and use of information on illicit small arms and linkages to early warning and r...
متن کاملGeneral Linear Chirplet Transform and Radar Target Classification
In this paper, we design an attractivealgorithm aiming to classify moving targets includinghuman, animal, vehicle and drone, at groundsurveillance radar systems. The non-stationary reflectedsignal of the targets is represented with a novelmathematical framework based on behavior of thesignal components in reality. We further propose usingthe generalized linear chirp transform for the analysisst...
متن کاملEvolution of Grasping Behaviour in Anthropomorphic Robotic Arms with Embodied Neural Controllers
In this article we present an evolutionary technique fordeveloping a neural network based controller for an an-thropomorphic robotic arm with 4 DOF able to exhibit areaching behaviour. Evolved neural controllers display anability to reach targets accurately and generalize their abilityto moving targets. This study demonstrates that it is possibleto obtain solutions that ...
