Can deterrence strategies which have helped avert great-power war since the late 1940s similarly prevent attempts at corrupting, disrupting, or destroying a nation-state's vital information infrastructure? Is it even possible to deter state-executed or state-sponsored computer network attacks against the governmental, military, financial, industrial, and civil information systems upon which modern society relies so heavily? It seems intuitive that one nation-state could plausibly threaten another with debilitating punishment should the ...
BACKGROUND: USCG is in the process of acquiring improved infrared (IR) sensor systems for installation on standard rotary-wing platforms. Historically, IR sensor systems have not been used for primary detection work. Question remains, How can these high-tech sensors be best employed to assist in obtaining initial detections on hard-to-find targets?
Relocatable targets are mobile targets that will stay in a discrete location for an unknown, random length of time before moving to another location. Such targets include mobile missile launchers, air defense units, fuel trucks and other high value targets (e.g. maneuver forces). Using a combination of multiagent simulation and a multiobjective evolutionary algorithm, we evolve optimal submunition design characteristics for attacking relocatable target examined three types of target concealment, ...
