Experience with multi-agent applications has shown the intelligent agent to be a valuable software concept with the potential to be more widely used in defence command decision modelling. The ability of intelligent agents to perform simple tasks autonomously has aroused much interest in potential military simulation applications, such as to support procurement, force development, evaluation of ...

Software-Defined Cognitive Radios, which utilize voice as a primary input/output modality, are expected to have substantial computational resources that will be capable of supporting advanced speech and audio processing applications. Yet, there has been little published research regarding how to leverage these capabilities to enhance military mission capability by building on services such as s...

BACKGROUND The military press is an exercise frequently prescribed for scapular and shoulder rehabilitation. Although this exercise has previously been analyzed by electromyography, its kinematic features remain poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to clarify these features of the military press and suggest relevant clinical applications. METHODS Sixteen healthy men participated in this...

Given the unique context of warzone engagement, which may include chronic threat, multiple and lengthy deployments, and loss, there is a need to understand whether and to what extent knowledge about PTSD derived from studies of civilian trauma exposure is generalizeable to the military. This special issue on PTSD in the military addresses a range of issues and debates related to mental health i...

This paper addresses the general area of computer architectures for safety-critical real-time applications. The maximum acceptable probability of failure for these applications ranges from about I O 4 to 1Oi0 per hour depending on whether it is a military or civil application. Typical examples include commercial and military aircraf fly-by-wire, full authority engine control, satellite and laun...

The modern information society will continue to emerge, and demand for wireless communication services will grow. Future generation wireless networks are considered necessary for the support of emerging services with their increasing requirements. Future generation wireless networks are characterized by a distributed, dynamic, self-organizing architecture (I. F. Akyildiz et al., 2006). These wi...

The article presents case studies and practical applications enabling the readers to learn about military simulations and how they are used in defense and crisis management. It is the first in a series that will describe the application of modeling and simulation to enhance country-to-country, agency-to-agency and coalition-to-coalition cooperation and understanding and provides information on ...
