Abstract:

Structure design and material selection of weapons is the key of the weapon design. The dynamic strength are studied of the weapon’s key parts by finite element simulation in Elastic plastic mechanics. The results show that the body can withstand the maximum pressure, and the simulating results are well coincident with the experiment ones, which confirms the reliability and availability of the virtual prototype model advanced here. Current research work will be helpful in further this kind of designers to select material and the frame optimization design.

Abstract:

Selecting a weapon system is an unstructured, complex decision problem with lots of aspects that must be considered. This paper presents a hybrid approach for use in the selecting of weapon systems. The hybrid approach combines analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and Information Entropy Method (IEM) to assign weights to the criteria to be used in weapon systems selection. These weights are then inputted into a TOPSIS (the technique for preference by similarity to ideal solution) model to determine the best alternative among the weapon systems. At last, a case is studied to demonstrate the effecti

Weapon detection in CCTV camera surveillance videos is a challenging task and its importance is increasing because of the availability and easy access of weapons in the market.

Sexually selected weapons are among the most exaggerated traits in nature. Sexual selection theory frequently assumes a high cost of this exaggeration; yet, those costs are rarely measured. We know very little about the energetic resources required to maintain these traits at rest and the difference in energetic costs for the largest individuals relative to the smallest individuals. Knowledge in this area is crucial; resting metabolic rate can account for 30–40% of daily energy expenditure in wild animals.

Abstract Males in many species engage in physical combat over access to mates, and sexual selection has led to the evolution of weapons to enhance contest performance. The size of these often-elaborate structures is known to be exquisitely sensitive to nutrition. However, we know very little about the degree to which nutrition affects other attributes of animal weapons that can be crucial to fighting.

Abstract:

In polyandrous species, males face reproductive competition both before and after mating. Sexual selection thus shapes the evolution of both pre- and postcopulatory traits, creating competing demands on resource allocation to different reproductive episodes. Traits subject to strong selection exhibit accelerated rates of phenotypic divergence, and examining evolutionary rates may inform us about the relative importance and potential fitness consequences of investing in traits under either pre- or postcopulatory sexual selection. Here, we used a comparative approach to assess evolutionary rates

Abstract:

Sexually selected traits can reach high degrees of phenotypic expression and variation under directional selection. A growing number of studies suggest that such selection can vary in space, time and form within and between populations. However, the impact of these fluctuations on sexual trait evolution is poorly understood. In the water strider Microvelia longipes , males display striking trait exaggeration and phenotypic variation manifested as extreme differences in the rear leg length. To study the origin and maintenance of this exaggerated trait, we conducted comparative behavioural, morp

Abstract:

Weapon-target assignment (WTA) which is crucial in cooperative air combat explores assigning weapons to targets with the objective of minimizing the threats from those targets. Based on threat functions, there are four WTA models constrained by the payload and other tactical requirements established. The improvements of ant colony optimization are integrated with respect to the rules of path selection, pheromone update, and pheromone concentration interval, and algorithm AScomp is proposed based on the elite strategy of ant colony optimization (ASrank). We add garbage ants to ASrank; when the

Abstract:

Sexual dimorphism is typically a result of strong sexual selection on male traits used in male–male competition and subsequent female choice. However, in social species where reproduction is monopolized by one or a few individuals in a group, selection on secondary sexual characteristics may be strong in both sexes. Indeed, sexual dimorphism is reduced in many cooperatively breeding vertebrates and eusocial insects with totipotent workers, presumably because of increased selection on female traits. Here, we examined the relationship between sexual dimorphism and sociality in eight species of S

Abstract:

Abstract The deployment of weapon systems prior to the engagement of anti-cruise missiles constitutes the primary research challenge in surface-to-air missile operations. Initially, it is essential to analyze operational requirements and scientifically delineate the guided radar detection area, kill zone, and interception zone based on physical realities. A model should be established to ascertain the fundamental conditions for site deployment, taking into account factors such as position height, shielding angle, and geographic coordinates. In relation to low-altitude approaches by adversarial

Abstract:

The weapon-target assignment (WTA) problem is a key issue in Command & Control (C2). Asset-based multiobjective static WTA (MOSWTA) problem is known as one of the notable issues of WTA. Since this is an NP-complete problem, multiobjective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) can be used to solve it effectively. The multiobjective evolutionary algorithm based on decomposition (MOEA/D) is a practical and promising multiobjective optimization technique. However, MOEA/D is originally designed for continuous multiobjective optimization which loses its efficiency to discrete contexts. In this study,

Abstract:

The selection of legitimate targets during armed conflict is an integral part of international humanitarian law, which aims to limit harm to the civilian population and protect civilian objects from random or unjustified attacks. The study aims to analyse the methods of selecting legitimate targets in armed conflict within the framework of international humanitarian law and identify shortcomings in the existing legal regulation of this process. To achieve this goal, the study used a combination of several methods, in particular, a legal analysis of existing international norms and principles o
