The mobile tactical network is a practical implementation of the mobile ad hoc network. Formed across tactical radios operating in the military very high frequency and low ultrahigh frequency bands, the mobile tactical network has distinctive characteristics when compared with generic mobile ad hoc networks, in particular with respect to its network topological behaviors and connectivity attrib...

The United States Army is engaged in an effort to use information systems to achieve tactical advantage over potential adversaries. Existing and future information systems place a significant load on the tactical network, resulting in a bandwidth management crisis. Yet, there is no prioritization, allocation, planning, or management tool available to simulate information flows over time for dif...

My keynote lecture focused on tactical creativity in team and racket sport and how coaches and teachers can foster it in training and PE. I started by contextualizing the value of tactical creativity using current statements from world soccer coupled with empirical data. Subsequent to this, the term tactical creativity is operationally defined in team and racket sports, its development is discu...

Abstract How do rebels choose among available tactics during civil war? they substitute one tactic for another? Although previous studies address these questions, narrowly focus on the presence or absence of substitution. Differentiating varieties substitution, however, is critical. respond to their tactical environment—including weather conditions—depends type I formally derive three types sub...

The Military Analogical Reasoning System (MARS) is a performance support system and decision aid for commanders in Tactical Operations Centers. MARS enhances and supports the innate human ability for using stories to reason about tactical goals, plans, situations, and outcomes. The system operates by comparing many instances of stored tactical stories, determining which have analogous situation...

A framework for tactical situation awareness is presented and used to compare current technology systems with a prototype system supporting tactical situation awareness. The prototype, which is being developed by Australia’s Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) at Edinburgh in its Experimental Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence Technology Environment (EXC3ITE), inte...

The aim of this study is to compare game principles performed by 18 youth soccer players taking into account the tactical principles of the game, the action’s place and respective outcome. The sample comprised 763 tactical actions performed by soccer players from one Portuguese club. The test "GK3-3GK" was used to provide the evaluation of tactical actions according to ten basic tactical princi...

Abstract. An automorphism group of an incidence structure I induces a tactical decomposition on I. It is well known that tactical decompositions of t-designs satisfy certain necessary conditions which can be expressed as equations in terms of the coefficients of tactical decomposition matrices. In this article we present results obtained for tactical decompositions of q-analogs of t-designs, mo...

The present study examines the associations between tactical performance indexes with quality of tactical behaviours and birth-date quarters of youth Soccer players. The sample comprised a total of 534 youth players classified into four seasons of 3 months (January-March; April-June; July-September; October-December). A system of tactical assessment in Soccer (FUT-SAT) was used to collect data....
