air defense is a crucial area for all naval combat systems. in this study, we consider a warship equipped with an air-defense weapon that targets incoming threats using surface-to-air missiles. we define the weapon scheduling problem as the optimal scheduling of a set of surface-to-air missiles of a warship to a set of attacking air threats. the optimal scheduling of the weapon results in an in...

There has been no large-scale naval combat in the last 30 years. With the rapid development of battleships, weapons manufacturing and electronic technology, naval combat will present some new characteristics. Additionally, naval combat is facing unprecedented challenges. In this paper, we discuss the topic of medical rescue at sea: what challenges we face and what we could do. The contents disc...

There is an increasing need within the Navy and Marine Corps for building distributed situation-aware applications that are rapidly recon gurable and survivable in the face of attacks and changing mission needs. For the Navy's vision of Network Centric Warfare and the Total Ship Computing Environment to succeed, there is an urgent need for a secure, robust, and survivable network infrastructure...

Virtual Reality Graded Exposure Therapy (VRGET) is an effective treatment for combat-related PTSD. We summarize the outcomes of a VRGET pilot study with 12 participants who completed one to multiple combat tours in support of the War on Terrorism and who were subsequently diagnosed with combat-related PTSD. Details of the collaborative program amongst the Virtual Reality Medical Center (VRMC), ...

France has adopted an “Open Architecture” approach for its Naval Combat Direction Systems (NCDS) in order to reduce the system’s total cost of ownership, to improve the system flexibility and to ensure system interoperability with existing or future systems. DCNS has been contracted by DGA, French Ministry of Defence, to develop this approach by defining a global process to specify and qualify ...
