Concrete is basic construction material used for most structures. However, the vital structures have to be designed as selfprotective such as nuclear plants, power plants, weapon industries, weapons storage places, water retaining structures, highway structures, and etc. These structures should have to be offer self shield against any natural disaster tragedy incidents and intentionally produce...

A differential game guidance law for an endoatmospheric interceptor missile steered by aero fins and reaction jets is developed in this paper with bounded controls. For a low-altitude endoatmospheric interceptor, the propellant of the reaction-jet control system (RCS) is restricted by the missile configuration. Considering propellant limits, the effect of the RCS thrust on homing performance is...

Dr. James Clay Moltz is Assistant Director and Research Professor at the Center for Nonproliferation Studies of the Monterey Institute of International Studies. He has published widely on Russian Far Eastern and East Asian security issues. The rise of theater ballistic missile capabilities in East Asia—particularly in China and North Korea—has raised fears among the United States, South Korea, ...

he Cruise Missile Defense Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration, known as Mountain Top, was successfully completed at Kauai, Hawaii, during January and February 1996. The demonstration featured a new type of cooperative engagement known as “forward pass,” made possible by the Cooperative Engagement Capability, in which low-flying drones were engaged beyond the horizon of an Aegis ship for g...

The principle of dynamic programming is used to develop a digital computer software package for determining for each of several subsystems the optimal numerical integration algorithm from among given candidate techniques. As by-products, the corresponding optimal step sizes and error contributions of the subsystems are provided to the user. The deveiloped program minimizes subsystem sum-squared...
