The ability to discriminate between ballistic missile warheads and confusing objects is an important topic from different points of view. In particular, the high cost interceptors with respect tactical missiles may lead ammunition problem. Moreover, since time interval in which defense system can intercept very short target velocities, it fundamental minimize number shoots per kill. For this reason, a reliable technique classify required. efficient warhead classification presented paper,...
Monitoring of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) targets has been a subject great importance in both defence and security sectors. In this paper novel system is introduced based on passive bistatic radar using Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) as illuminators opportunity. Particularly, link budget analysis held to determine the capabilities limitations such system. Additionally, signal reconstruction algorithm provided allowing estimation transmitted from each satellite. Finally,...
While remote inspection of industrial structures, such as nuclear reactors, using robotic crawlers currently presents significant advantages in terms safety, accuracy and cost, other challenges emerge due to poor context-awareness positional accuracy. This results a lack visibility for path planning difficulty precise localization NDE (Non-Destructive Evaluation) data. LIDAR (Light Detection Ranging) are one form sensors that estimate distances at various angles map the surrounding...
The capability to recognize ballistic threats, is a critical topic due the increasing effectiveness of resultant objects and economical constraints. In particular ability distinguish between warheads decoys crucial in order mitigate number shots per hit maximize ammunition capabilities. For this reason reliable technique classify required. paper use micro-Doppler signatures conjunction with 2-Dimensional Gabor filter presented for problem. proposed approach demonstrated through real data.
Recent developments in electronics have pushed miniaturized satellites to the femto-scale, with masses between 10 and 100 g. Although femtosatellites been proven as a feasible concept, most designs are limited mission capacity lifetime due lack of environmental protection onboard propellant. In this article, novel concept for earth remote sensing is proposed. particular, swarm used elements sparse array orbit receive radar echoes. They also feature active control enabled by solar radiation...
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) offer significant potential benefits to the inspection of large-scale facilities due their ability access areas where manual is not practical. Ultrasonic inspections typically utilise acoustic couplant, placed between specimen and transducer surfaces, eliminate any air gap enable energy propagation. Conventional ultrasonic UAVs contain a mechanical system deliver small quantity liquid couplant surface. Such mechanisms increase payload, resulting in reduction...
In multi user scenarios to prevent interference between users that share the same bandwidth at time, each has transmit waveforms are uncorrelated with those of other users. However, due spectrum limitations, property cannot always be satisfied meaning is unavoidable. order alleviate interference, a framework for mitigation presented. The performance proposed tested on simulated and real signals. signal acquired in controlled laboratory environment using Software Defined Radio (SDR)....
