  • Automated Canopy and Payload Motion Estimation Using Vision Based Methods
    AIAA 2015-2171 Aerodynamic Decelerator Systems Technology Conferences 30 Mar - 2 Apr 2015, Daytona Beach, FL 23rd AIAA Aerodynamic Decelerator Systems Technology Conference Automated Canopy and Payload Motion Estimation Using Vision Based Methods Ryan J. Decker,* US Army Armament Research Development and Engineering Center, Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806 Oleg A. Yakimenko† Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, CA 93943-5107 This this paper advocates the use of automated computer vision and image processing techniques for characterization of parachute cargo systems. It considers two applications in which test video can be used to extract useful information about the behavior of these systems. The first application deals with identifying the relative motion of the decelerator canopy compared to that of the payload using a simple upward facing camera mounted on the top of the payload. The second application employs similar algorithms, but uses multiple ground-based cameras to reveal a six degree of freedom trajectory histories of parachute and parafoil-payload systems.

    Naval Postgraduate School Naval Warfare Studies Institute (NWSI) Wargaming Center Quarterly Report - Fall 2020 (1Q FY21) Jeff Appleget, Operations Research, and Rob Burks, Defense Analysis, Directors Naval Warfare Studies Institute: We are proud and excited to direct the NWSI Wargaming Center. To learn more about the NWSI, please see the attached NWSI Slicksheet. How-to Book on the Craft of Wargaming Hits the Streets By Javier Chagoya Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) scholars in the field of wargaming have authored a seminal work that lays out a detailed planning guide for defense planners and analysts in a new book, “The Craft of Wargaming.” The book is co-authored by NPS Senior Lecturer retired Army Col. Jeff Appleget, NPS Associate Professor retired Army Col. Robert Burks, and internationally-recognized Operations Research Analyst Fred Cameron. These three authorities bring more than 100 years of wargaming knowledge to an ever-expanding cadre of wargaming professionals. The book is designed to support defense planners and analysts on their journey from wargaming apprentice to journeyman, with topics of particular interest to commercial wargamers. With its focus on design and development, the book serves a primer for initiates to senior commanders seeking to advance their knowledge and understanding of the wargaming field.

  • U.S. Army Weapons-Related Directed Energy (DE) Programs: Background and Potential Issues for Congress
    U.S. Army Weapons-Related Directed Energy (DE) Programs: Background and Potential Issues for Congress Andrew Feickert Specialist in Military Ground Forces February 12, 2018 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R45098 U.S. Army Weapons-Related Directed Energy (DE) Programs Summary The U.S. military has a long and complicated history in developing directed energy (DE) weapons. Many past efforts have failed for a variety of reasons and not all failures were attributed to scientific or technological challenges associated with weaponizing DE. At present, a number of U.S. military DE weapons-related programs are beginning to show promise, such as the Navy’s Laser Weapon System (LaWs), the first ever Department of Defense (DOD) laser weapon to be deployed and approved for operational use, according to the Navy. With a number of U.S. Army weapons-related DE programs showing promise during concept demonstrations and their potential relevance in addressing a number of current and emerging threats to U.S. ground forces, some believe the Army is making progress to field viable DE weapon systems designed to counter rockets, artillery, and mortars (C-RAM) and address certain types of short-range air defense (SHORAD) threats. While DE weapons offer a variety of advantages over conventional kinetic weapons including precision, low cost per shot, and scalable effects, there are also some basic constraints, such as beam attenuation, limited range, and an inability to be employed against non-line-of-sight targets, that will need to be addressed in order to make these weapons effective across the entire spectrum of combat operations.

  • A Comparative Analysis of Contemporary 155 Mm Artillery
    The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available on Emerald Insight at: www.emeraldinsight.com/2399-6439.htm Contemporary A comparative analysis of 155 mm contemporary 155 mm artillery artillery projectiles projectiles Matilda R. Brady 171 Field Artillery School, United States Army, Fort Sill, Oklahoma, USA, and Received 30 May 2019 Paul Goethals Revised 3 October 2019 4 October 2019 Department of Mathematical Sciences, United States Military Academy, Accepted 4 October 2019 West Point, New York, USA Abstract Purpose – To recover the growing deficit between American and near-peer mobile artillery ranges, the US Army is exploring the use of the M982 Excalibur munition, a family of long-range precision projectiles. This paper aims to analyze the effectiveness of the M982 in comparison to the M795 and M549A1 projectiles to further the understanding of what this new asset contributes. Design/methodology/approach – Based upon doctrinal scenarios for target destruction, a statistical analysis is performed using Monte Carlo simulation to identify a likely probability of kill ratio for the M982. A values-based hierarchical modeling approach is then used to differentiate the M982 from similar-type projectiles quantitatively in terms of several different attributes. Finally, sensitivity analyzes are presented for each of the value attributes, to identify areas where measures may lack robustness in precision. Findings – Based upon a set of seven value measures, such as maximum range, effective range, the expected number of rounds to destroy a target, and the unit cost of a munition, the M982 1a-2 was found to be best suited for engaging point and small area targets.
