  • An Unmanned Aircraft System for Maritime Search and Rescue
    An Unmanned Aircraft System for Maritime Search and Rescue by Andre Paul Meredith Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Engineering at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof Thomas Jones Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering March 2011 Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: March 2011 Copyright © 2011 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Abstract Search and Rescue is an essential service provided by States and Militaries to search for, locate and rescue survivors of accidents and incidents. Civil Search and Rescue utilizes a system of well-trained professionals or volunteers, an effective Search and Rescue organization, supported by industry and other providers of infrastructure and assets. The service is rendered to save the lives of civilian individuals in imminent danger of losing their lives. Military (Combat) Search and Rescue is provided by militaries to save the lives of military practitioners in a similar predicament. In addition, Search and Rescue is performed over land and over the sea. All forms of Search and Rescue rely on capable, specialized assets for efficiency en affectivity. Assets are specified and chosen on the grounds of various factors, amongst others operating environment, operational profile, performance and special abilities.

  • Low Observable Principles, Stealth Aircraft and Anti-Stealth Technologies
    Journal of Computations & Modelling, vol.4, no.1, 2014, 129-165 ISSN: 1792-7625 (print), 1792-8850 (online) Scienpress Ltd, 2014 Low Observable Principles, Stealth Aircraft and Anti-Stealth Technologies Konstantinos Zikidis (Maj, HAF)1, Alexios Skondras (2nd Lt, HAF)2, Charisios Tokas (2nd Lt, HAF)3, Abstract During the last decades, stealth technology has proven to be one of the most effective approaches as far as the endeavor to hide from radar systems is concerned. Especially for military aircraft, “stealth” or “low observable” technology has become ubiquitous: all new aircraft types are designed taking into account low observable principles and techniques, while existing jet fighters are considered for modification in order to reduce their radar signature. Low radar signature for a target means that it is detected and tracked at a shorter distance from a radar. However, low observable does not mean no observable, i.e., complete disappearance from the radar screens. Furthermore, stealthiness comes at a price. Apart from the development cost, stealth aircraft have higher flyaway cost and important maintenance costs, while they have significant operational limitations due to the specific aircraft shape imposed and materials used, and also due to the limited fuel and weapons, which have to be carried internally. Any pylon, tank, missile or pod carried externally increases the radar signature. Having realized the capabilities of stealth aircraft, many countries have been developing anti-stealth technologies. The following systems have been reported to be potential counter-stealth approaches: passive / multistatic radars, very low frequency radars, over-the-horizon radars and sensitive IR sensor systems.

  • Drones and the European Union Prospects for a Common Future Drones a Nd the European Union: Prospects for a Common Future
    Research Paper Jack McDonald International Security Department | February 2018 Drones and the European Union Prospects for a Common Future Drones a nd the European Union: Prospects for a Common Future Summary The debate over the use of drones is an opportunity for states to identify elements of military practice that their publics find uncomfortable or troubling, and to explain these areas of milit ary operations in context. Countries would benefit from working together to identify accountability gaps arising from fundamental elements of military cooperation, including the role of intelligence transfers in joint operations, and the distribution of re sponsibility for lethal actions in the context of coalition operations. Transparency in investigation procedures, as well as devoting sufficient resources towards ensuring that mistakes are identified, will improve the perception of drone use among domesti c audiences. Identifying and communicating common standards and practices of mitigating complicity should be a priority for countries to ensure that they do not unwittingly become complicit in unlawful lethal operations. Although operational safety may hin der the ability of states to be completely transparent, understanding among the general public could be improved through the communication of policies and procedures regarding non - lethal assistance to partner states conducting lethal operations, both insid e and outside the context of an armed conflict. 1 | Chatham House Drones a nd the European Union: Prospects for a Common Future Introduction The use of armed drones in military operations has become more prevalent as the technology has developed. At present more than 30 nation states possess, or are developing, armed drones for mili tary use.
