Weapon Target Assignment is not only an important issue to use firepower, but also an important operational decision-making problem. As new intelligent algorithms, Genetic algorithm and ant colony algorithm are applied to solve Weapons-Target Assignment Problem. This paper introduces the Weapon-Target Assignment (WTA) and the mathematical model, and proposes ACGA algorithm which is the integrat...

Firstly, in order to overcome the shortcoming of using only AD or TRIZ solely,and solve the problems currently existed in weapon equipment requirement demonstration, the paper construct the method system of weapon equipment requirement demonstration combining QFD ,AD,TRIZ,FA . Then, we construct a CAI model frame of weapon equipment requirement demonstration, which include requirement decompose...

The current study examined whether the weapon focus effect could be accounted for in terms of stimulus novelty. Participants viewed a slideshow of a simulated event while attending to a secondary task. In the critical slide, the target was shown holding a threatening object (weapon condition), a novel object (unusual condition) or a neutral object (control condition). Reaction times on the seco...

PURPOSE To test the hypothesis that adolescents who carry lethal weapons are more likely to engage in violent behavior than adolescents who do not carry weapons. DESIGN Cross-sectional Survey. SUBJECTS Black adolescents (N = 225) from a lower socioeconomic (SES) background living in or around nine Housing and Urban Development housing projects. MEASUREMENTS An anonymous questionnaire cont...

Nowadays, western armed forces more and more use the effects of their actions as a starting point for operations. Concepts such as Effect Based (Approach to) Operations, Comprehensive Approach and others display this evolution. When it comes to weapon systems, the armed forces struggle to use these concepts and to translate them into guidelines. Therefore, TNO tries to set up a methodology to e...
