This paper describes the process of creating a Federation Object Model(FOM) which bridges constructive, virtual, and live simulation systems to create a synthetic environment that can stimulate Intelligence and Electronic Warfare (IEW) system operators. Under the Intelligence Electronic Warfare Tactical Proficiency Trainer (IEWTPT) program, we are creating a training system for operators of the...

The potential for increased transmission efficiency of military tactical command and control data links through voice/ data integration has increased in importance in recent years. With the introduction of even more sophisticated and automated weapons systems, the requirement for on-line exchange of data among tactically-embedded military computer systems has risen dramatically. Today we are fa...

Within the MMORPG World of Warcraft, attitudes towards warfare are expressed in conflicting ways. This is partly a result of the difficult relationship modern Western society has with warfare, and the various political agendas that surround this. Within World of Warcraft, this is expressed specifically in the minigames known as ‘Battlegrounds’, which allow players to fight against each other in...

rom the birth of the Submarine Technology Department 25 years ago through today, we have been involved in the process of assessing and developing emerging technologies for undersea warfare (USW) applications. The assessment process has often required extensive ocean engineering efforts to validate concepts in the real ocean environment. Articles in this section of the Technical Digest present s...

Recent terrorist events have demonstrated that an urgent and widespread need exists for the development of novel sensors for threat detection, especially biowarfare agents. The advent of inexpensive, mass-produced microcantilever sensors promises to bring about a revolution in detection of terrorist threats. Extremely sensitive and highly selective sensors can be developed for using a microcant...

During the last few years, many new research programs have emerged within the U.S. Army and the Department of Defense (DoD) that have been focused on advancing the state-of-the-art in terahertz (THz) frequency electronic technology and on investigating novel applications of THz frequency sensing. Similarly, there has been a steadily growing interest among the international scientific and techni...

Our increasing dependence on information technologies and autonomous systems has escalated international concern for informationand cyber-security in the face of politically, socially and religiously motivated cyber-attacks. Information warfare tactics that interfere with the flow of information can challenge the survival of individuals and groups. It is increasingly important that both humans ...

The lexicon of information warfare (IW), or cyberwar, to use a common variant, has been around for more than two decades (Adams, 1998), but for most of that time it has remained the preserve of the defense community. Within the cloistered world of the Pentagon and its satellite communities, a radically new concept of postindustrial warfare has crystallized, one that is designed to ensure contin...

Modulated signal recognition and classification occupies an important position in electronic information warfare, intelligent wireless communication, fast modulation demodulation. To address the shortcomings of existing methods, such as high manual involvement, few types, a low rate under signal-to-noise ratio, we propose attention mechanism short-link convolution long short-term memory deep ne...
