Target detection is a conventional problem for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image. The technology of target detection is very useful in striking military targets, such as ship, tanks, armoured personnel carriers, trucks, bulldozers, cannon and howitzers. Discriminating target from clutter is a challenging task in Automatic target detection (ATD) problem. Different types of clutter and their d...

Supporting behavioural changes and in particular unanticipated ones is essential for achieving the behavioural evolution of objects. Object evolution is an important feature for war game simulation systems. This is the case because a unit’s behavioural landscape may be altered during the course of a simulation either by virtue of the simulation itself of by user intervention. For instance, an a...

Published in the Scandinavian Journal of Laboratory Animal Science an international journal of laboratory animal science Introduction Leprosy (Hansen’s disease) is a chronic infectious disease of mankind caused by Mycobacterium leprae. Despite several serious scientific attempts, M.leprae has never been cultivated in artificial bacteriological media. When M.leprae was identified as the causativ...

Noise and whole-body vibration measurements were made in the following Canadian Forces vehicles: LAV III, Bison and M113A2 ADATS (air defence anti-tank system). Measurements were made at different crew positions while the vehicles were driven at different speeds over rough terrain and paved roads. The participants completed a questionnaire at the end of each measurement session on their reactio...

Armoured Fighting Vehicles (AFVs) also called as Tanks play a critical role in modern warfare, providing mobility, protection and firepower on the battlefield. However, maintaining these complex machines ensuring their operational readiness is significant challenge for military organizations. Traditional maintenance practices are often reactive, resulting unexpected failures, increased downtime...
