Abstract

In this paper an airframe stabilization system with state observer and correction part for a canard-controlled anti-aircraft missile is presented. The state observer based system is designed to be easy to implement and undemanding of significant onboard data processing and CPU resources. In addition, the correction part to improve the system's capabilities is described and an analytical method for determining its settings is proposed. The paper considers the terminal phase of guiding an anti-aircraft missile against an aerial target. This is of particular interest when considering the issues of combating the current means of air attack, characterized by high maneuverability, effectively. Robustness to disturbances in the signal processing paths and the ability to effectively stabilize the airframe is presented with extensive simulations of the proposed system using the Monte Carlo method.

Abstract

Evaluation and choice of anti-aircraft missile weapon systems (AAMWSs) are a relevant problem in many countries. Estimates are often reduced to one top-level criterion. This is questionable since subordinated criteria are usually difficult to compare and decision-makers excluded from the final decision. The solution to the problem should also take into account non-statistical uncertainty. We propose to use a combination of two algorithms. The first algorithm calculates the estimates of AAMWSs in the criteria hierarchy using fuzzy-integral calculus. The hierarchy relates the characteristics of the AAMWSs to the three top-level criteria. In the space of these criteria, the second algorithm based on hierarchical clustering forms a class of the best AAMWSs equivalent to each other. The decision-maker makes the final choice from the obtained class, taking into account non-formalized factors. These algorithms are tested using the example of medium-range AAMWSs.

Abstract

Because of its air superiority during the counter-insurgency conflict against the South West Africa People’s Organisation the South African Air Force had neglected to build up modern air and counter-air defences. When Soviet air defence systems were deployed in Angola in the 1980s, South Africa was forced to reconsider their tactics and responses to the war. The Soviet systems included early warning networks, surface-to-air missiles and anti-aircraft guns to cover troops advancing in the field, and fighter aircraft. The South Africans watched the build-up in the region with concern, viewing it as the precursor to offensive action, given Soviet air defence doctrine. While this build-up was also observed in the neighbouring Southern African countries and had the appearance of a purely defensive stance, given Soviet air defence doctrine, South Africa viewed this as the first steps to offensive actions in Angola and possibly Namibia (then South West Africa) and the start of a dangerous escalation in the military situation. In response, the SADF adopted a strong defensive stance and improved its own air defence capabilities to ensure that it was not outclassed. The South African Air Force also introduced new tactics. These included the introduction of toss-bombing, making greater use of precisionguided missiles and bombs, and investing more in research in terms of missiles and new technology for their aircraft.

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to investigate the Cuban Missile Crisis with new approaches. For this purpose, we analyse this crisis in two static and dynamic approaches. In the static approach, we look at the crisis through the perspective of credible threats. In the dynamic approach, the crisis is modelled using several game theoretic models. The models allow us to analyse the interplay of the capabilities and the feasibility objectives of each player after a conflict with the other player's objectives and capabilities. The dynamic system of games has significant implications as an important insight for modelling strategic interactions in which players pursue goals for increasing their personal interests. Our findings give insight into how the two countries reached a compromise in the Cuban Missile Crisis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The article discusses recent attacks and deployments by Iran-backed militias and Syrian forces in the Golan Heights, which have created concerns for Israel as it deals with the crisis in southern Israel. Unidentified forces fired mortars from Syria into the Golan Heights, prompting Israel to respond with artillery and mortar fire. There is speculation that other Iran-backed forces, such as Hezbollah, could open other fronts in the war, leading President Biden to issue a warning. The article suggests that Washington should take appropriate action to constrain Iran's options in Syria and warns against any sanctions relief for the Assad regime without evidence of constraining Iran's actions against U.S. allies.

Antiaircraft missiles
Abstract

Noted authority Steven J. Zaloga charts the development, combat use, and influence of man-portable air defense systems, from the late 1960s to the present day.The first attempts at developing a man-portable air defense system (MANPADS) based around a guided missile began in the mid-1950s, as a response to the increased speed and maneuverability of jet aircraft. This book charts the technological evolution of the MANPADS and explores their combat usage and the lessons from these encounters. Besides detailing the missiles, it also surveys the various methods developed as countermeasures to the MANPADS threat.The first generation of MANPADS, such as the US Army's Redeye and the Soviet Strela-2 (SA-7 Grail), saw combat use in the Vietnam War in 1972 and the Yom Kippur War of 1973. The next generation of infrared-guided MANPADS, such as the US Stinger and Soviet Igla, came to prominence following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. Since the 1970s, MANPADS have been used in innumerable wars, border conflicts, civil wars and insurrections. Featuring specially commissioned artwork and carefully chosen photographs, this study tells the story of these lethally effective weapons, from their origins to their use today.

Subjects
Antiaircraft missiles, Radar defense networks
Abstract

This book gives you an in-depth look into the critical function of interference shielding for onboard radar of anti-aircraft missile systems. Intended for radar engineers and technicians specializing in anti-aircraft defense, the book reviews today's military and geo-political threats, helps you understand the functional needs of the various radar and anti-missile systems to meet those threats, and synthesizes considerations for devising practical and effective protection against interferences that affect the homing heads of anti-aircraft guided missiles. Three problematic interferences are presented and discussed in detail: polarization interference; interference to the sidelobe of onboard antennas; and interference from two points in space, including interference reflected from the earth (water) surface. The book covers the basic principles of radiolocation, including monopulse radars, and gives insight into the fundamental functional units of anti-aircraft missiles and surface-to-air missile systems. The book presents guidance methods, systems of direction finding, problems on firing over the horizon, and questions of accuracy and resolution – all important for better addressing solutions of interference shielding. You will learn how to estimate the stability of target auto-tracking under conditions of cited interferences, and better assess existing limitations on firing over the horizon by a long-range antiaircraft system, as well as hypersonic targets and satellites. This is a unique and valuable resource for engineers and technicians who are involved in the design and development of anti-aircraft guided missile systems, with special emphasis on interference immunity and protection. It can also be used as a textbook in advanced radar technology coursework and seminars.
