Tomahawk land attack missile predesignation optimization revisitedDemir, Ali. 06 1900 (has links)
Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited / The Tomahawk Land-Attack Missile (TLAM) is the long-range precision weapon of choice in strike warfare against strategic targets for U.S. military forces. Predesignation is the process of determining which ship or submarine will fire which TLAM missiles in support of an authorized attack upon specified targets. This thesis revisits the mathematical models and algorithms developed by previous NPS faculty and students to optimally conduct the allocation of TLAMs to firing units. We incorporate all the problem specifications addressed by previous heuristic algorithms for the problem, and compare our results to those in publicly available test cases. We show that our models can be solved optimally in affordable time for most of the cases and make provisions to establish accurate bounds in the other cases. / First Lieutenant, Turkish Army

Network Configuration for Range InterconnectivityDouglas, Steven R. 10 1900 (has links)
International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 17-20, 1994 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / A demonstration of near real-time performance assessment for the Program Executive Officer for Cruise Missiles Project and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Cruise Test Directorate, PEO(CU)-CT, was conducted between 22 March 1994 through 4 May 1994. The demonstration involved the temporary installation of a portable TOMAHAWK telemetry recording and telecommunications capability at the Air Force Development Test Center range at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida and a receiving telecommunications capability at the Naval Warfare Assessment Division (NWAD), Corona, California. The system was successfully used on 4 May 1994 to record TOMAHAWK missile telemetry data in real-time in support of Operational Test Launch (OTL)-163 and to transfer that data to the weapons system performance analysts at NWAD in near real-time. The one hour and three minutes of flight data was compressed in real-time as it was recorded, then, after completion of the flight, the data was transferred to NWAD in about 12 minutes using the switched 56 kbps network. Additional transfers using the Defense Commercial Telecommunications Network (DCTN) were also conducted. All transfers were secured using ethernet encryptors. The data was processed by both the NWAD telemetry ground station and the TOMAHAWK workstation complex. This paper quantifies the results and documents the lessons learned from this demonstration and proposes a standardized system design for possible implementation at TOMAHAWK test range sites in the future. A position is taken that for situations where the remote site (e.g. other range or data analysis site) does not exercise direct operational control over the test/host range, near real-time data relay solutions are not only as adequate, but in many cases are preferable to real-time solutions.

Efeitos da defaunação na comunidades de pequenos mamíferos na Mata Atlântica /Neves, Carolina Lima. January 2010 (has links)
Resumo: 1. As armadilhas convencionais são amplamente utilizadas em estudos com pequenos mamíferos não-voadores, mas geralmente acarretam um viés de amostragem. Além disso, efeitos da qualidade do microhabitat e da sazonalidade podem influenciar a estimativa da diversidade. 2. Nós comparamos dois métodos de amostragem de pequenos mamíferos: armadilhas de captura viva e de queda, sendo a riqueza de espécies e número de indivíduos variáveis resposta. Os levantamentos de campo foram realizados em uma área contínua de Mata Atlântica. Os efeitos das variáveis de microhabitat e da sazonalidade sobre capturabilidade também foram investigados. 3. As armadilhas de queda capturaram maior número de espécies e indivíduos durante a estação chuvosa, quando comparadas com armadilhas de captura viva. Portanto, as armadilhas de queda foram o melhor método para estimar a riqueza e abundância de pequenos mamíferos, principalmente de espécies semi-fossoriais. 4. Nossos resultados mostraram a importância de considerar o esforço amostral despendido em armadilhas de captura vida e de queda ao se comparar a eficiência de captura entre elas. O uso da abundância relativa resolveu problemas de sub e de superestimativa da capturabilidade em cada tipo de armadilha. 5. Embora o microhabitat seja considerado um importante fator que pode influenciar o número de indivíduos em determinada área de estudo, não encontramos influência do mesmo na capturabilidade de armadilhas de captura viva e de queda na comunidade de pequenos mamíferos.

Conventional traps are widely used in studies of non-volant small mammals, but usually lead to sampling bias. Also, microhabitat quality and seasonality effects may influence the estimate of diversity. 2. We compared two small mammal sampling methods: live and pitfall traps. Species richness and number of individuals were our response variables, and field surveys were carried out in a continuous area of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Effects of microhabitat variables and seasonality on trappability were also investigated. 3. Pitfall traps captured more number of species and more individuals during the wet season, when compared with live traps. Therefore, pitfall-traps were a better method for estimating the richness and abundance of small mammals, especially semi-fossorial species. 4. Our results showed the importance of considering the sampling effort dispended in live and pitfall traps when comparing the capture efficiency between them. The use of weighted abundance solved trappability problems of underestimation and overestimation in each trap type to capture small mammals. 5. Although the microhabitat is considered an important factor that can influence the number of individuals in the study area, we found no influence of microhabitat on trappability of live and pitfall traps on small mammal community. However, we found that the trap stations with higher basal area of dead trees and ferns captured more individuals of Brucepattersonius soricinus, Oligoryzomys nigripes, and Akodon montensis. 6. We conclude that most small mammal inventories in tropical regions failed to capture the true species richness. Several species considered "rare" and underlisted as data deficient in IUCN criterion could be in fact common / Orientador: Mauro Galetti / Coorientador: Maria José de Jesus Silva / Banca: Marco Aurélio Pizo Ferreira / Banca: Denis Cristiano Briani / Mestre
