The Cuban Crisis of October 22-28, 1962, pitted against each other the two world giants who have weapons that can destroy each other and at the same time all of human society. The suspenseful events of that week brought the world to the brink of World War III. As the crisis receded upon agreement of the Soviet Union to remove the offensive missiles from Cuba and by the States to refrain, under certain conditions, from invading Cuba, so did the memory of that week.

Thesis (MScEng (Mathematical Sciences. Applied Mathematics))--University of Stellenbosch, 2005. / Tracking manoeuvring military airborne targets with radar is problematic due to the low scan rates and the high levels of measurement noise. Surveillance systems using multiple radars have the benefit of an increased rate of observation and noise reduction but also have the problem of correlating observations from multiple sensors. Mehtods are discussed to correlate single observations from multiple radar sensors as well as assigning observations to existing tracks. Filtering methods to reduce measurement noise of the target tracks and methods to extrapolate the predicted position of targets are also explored.

Approved for public release, distribution is unlimited / In urbanized terrain, radiowave propagation is subjected to fading on large-scales and smallscales that would impede on the quality and reliability of data link transmission. This would have implications in many military applications. One example is the performance of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) data and communications links in complex urban environments. The purpose of this research is to study the effectiveness of diversity techniques on the performance of urban UAV data and communications links. The techniques investigated were spatial, polarization, and angle diversities. The ray tracing software, Urbana Wireless Toolset, was used in the modeling and simulation process. The various combinations of diversity techniques were simulated using a realistic urban city model. For the few transmit-receive geometries examined, it was found that angle diversity with a directive antenna provided the greatest increase in signal strength relative to the no diversity case. / Civilian, Singapore DOD
