The radar game: Understanding stealth and aircraft survivability - Original PDF
The radar game: Understanding stealth and aircraft survivability - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Rebecca Grant خلاصه: Precision weapons and rapid targeting information mean little if aircraft are unable to survive engagements with enemy air defenses. In addition to costing the lives of pilots, high levels of attrition can ultimately affect the outcome of the theater campaign. One of the most critical factors in determining the success of an air operation is survivability. In the last several decades, the term survivability has been associated with analysis of how low observables and electronic countermeasures can help aircraft carry out their missions in hostile airspace. Discussions of survivability immediately bring to mind stealth aircraft, radar jamming and debates about the latest SA-10 threats. Yet the quest for survivability is not a fad of the Cold War or the high-technology 1990s. Its roots, and its importance to combined arms operations, go back to the first use of military aircraft in World War I.
Microwave Receivers with Electronic Warfare Applications - Original PDF
Microwave Receivers with Electronic Warfare Applications - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Tsui, James Bao-Yen خلاصه: This book provides an introduction to microwave receivers and is written at a level appropriate for advanced undergraduates and first-year graduate students. The advance in microwave receiver development can be considered to be a result of device and logic circuit research. On the other hand, many of the new microwave devices and new ideas in microwave systems are developed as by-products of specific receiver designs. Therefore, this book is written primarily for both microwave receiver engineers and microwave device engineers. The book is divided into two parts, the general properties and the structures of microwave receivers. The properties of microwave receivers are discussed in Chapters 1-3 and in 12. The structures of different receivers are discussed in Chapters 4-11. The basic properties of microwave devices used in receivers are discussed where appropriate.
Colonialism and Modern Social Theory - Original PDF
Colonialism and Modern Social Theory - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Gurminder K. Bhambra and John Holmwood خلاصه: Modern society emerged in the context of European colonialism and empire. So, too, did a distinctively modern social theory, laying the basis for most social theorising ever since. Yet colonialism and empire are absent from the conceptual understandings of modern society, which are organised instead around ideas of nation state and capitalist economy. Gurminder K. Bhambra and John Holmwood address this absence by examining the role of colonialism in the development of modern society and the legacies it has bequeathed. Beginning with a consideration of the role of colonialism and empire in the formation of social theory from Hobbes to Hegel, the authors go on to focus on the work of Tocqueville, Marx, Weber, Durkheim and Du Bois. As well as unpicking critical omissions and misrepresentations, the chapters discuss the places where colonialism is acknowledged and discussed – albeit inadequately – by these founding figures; and we come to see what this fresh rereading has to offer and why it matters. This inspiring and insightful book argues for a reconstruction of social theory that should lead to a better understanding of contemporary social thought, its limitations, and its wider possibilities.
Introduction to Electronic Warfare Modeling and Simulation (Artech House Radar Library) - Original PDF
Introduction to Electronic Warfare Modeling and Simulation (Artech House Radar Library) - Original PDF
نویسندگان: David Adamy خلاصه: In electronic warfare (EW) modeling and simulation, the reality is an array of threats—emitting threat-related signals—received by EW systems. Models capture the action and either determine what will happen if various trade-offs are made or reproduce that threat environment as it is seen from one of many possible points of view.
Violence against Women in and beyond Conflict (Gender in a Global/Local World) 1st Edition - Original PDF
Violence against Women in and beyond Conflict (Gender in a Global/Local World) 1st Edition - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Julia Carolin Sachseder خلاصه: Violence against Women in and beyond Conflict explores the processes and structures that underlie and contribute to sexual violence and internal displacement in armed conflict, utilizing extensive ethnographic research to provide cutting-edge insights. The author argues that the key to understanding violence against women lies at the intersection of transnational capital, race, and gender that not only contribute to its production but also to its persistence. The book uses the Colombian armed conflict as the primary case study but develops a broader framework for theorizing the relationship between the global political economy, the history of coloniality, and intersectional constructions of gender and race with regard to conflict and violence. It offers an understanding of violence against women as not isolated from, but part and a symptom of, a larger system of political, social, and economic inequality that is rooted in colonialism, and exploited and exacerbated by transnational capital relations. The author also shows how the state and non-state actors, most prominently paramilitaries, are involved in this relationship of violence. The book highlights implications for meaningful and sustainable peace in post-conflict contexts. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of international relations, gender studies, and conflict studies; as well as policymakers, (non)governmental organizations, and practitioners interested in conflict and security.
