purpose: triage is a complicated and dynamic process in nature. moreover, there are many challenges in selecting the required information about the casualties, the wounded, and the type of accident at the time of crisis. hence, this research was undertaken to present a new strategy for efficiently triaging casualties in the battlefield. methodology: in this review, two methods of field and libr...

Damage control remains a vital task aboard US Navy vessels, requiring highly accurate and rapid detection of hazardous events and a significant commitment of manpower. Traditionally, crew members monitor compartments and provide assessments verbally to damage control personnel and the ship’s command. However, manual remote monitoring, (e.g., by video surveillance) of sensor data by human observ...

In the early 1990s, the effectiveness and ef®ciency of the information systems (IS) supporting the US Department of Defense's non-combat operations was questioned. As had many organizations, the support had evolved into multiple, redundant, unintegrated, undocumented, stove-piped IS. These systems require unnecessarily large non-combat IS expenses, supporting war ®ghting efforts. Lack of integr...

The ultimate goal of armour research is to create better armour for battle worthy combat plat forms such as main battle tanks, infantry combat vehicles and light combat vehicles. In each of these applications, the main aim boils down to one of the two things; either reduce the weight without sacrificing protection or enhance the performance at same or even reduced weight. In practice, these amb...

Timed I/O automata (TIOA) is a mathematical framework for modeling and verification of distributed systems that involve discrete and continuous dynamics. TIOA can be used for example, to model a real-time software component controlling a physical process. The TIOA model is sufficiently general to subsume other models in use for timed systems. The Tempo Toolset, currently under development, is a...

A generalization of transferable utility cooperative games from the functional forms introduced by von Neumann and Morgenstern (1944, Theory of Games and Economic Behavior) and Lucas and Thrall (1963, Naval Research Logistics Quarterly, 10, 281–298) is proposed to allow for multiple membership. The definition of the core is adapted analogously and the possibilities for the cross-cutting of cont...
