By leveraging the correspondence between spares configuration schemes and equipment support performance, the BP(back propagation) neural network model is used to adjust the mapping relationship between spares configuration schemes and their corresponding satisfaction and utilization rates. This facilitates the evaluation of the rationality of spares configuration scheme design. Using three types of equipment with different structural compositions as examples, the corresponding neural network prediction models for the satisfaction and utilization rates of spares are designed and trained with data samples. This achieves fast and high-precision calculations of the satisfaction and utilization rates of spare parts, with both the mean error and mean square error being less than 0.05%, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Prediction of target detection performance is the basis for radar adaptive resource scheduling and refined information processing design. However, conventional statistical models are difficult to accurately describe the statistical distribution of the radar scattering cross section of stealth targets, resulting in inaccurate detection performance prediction. For this reason, this paper proposes a radar detection performance evaluation method based on a hybrid chi-square distribution model, which models and evaluates the detection probability under constant false alarm conditions. Based on the hybrid model, the target detection probability is modeled under the condition of constant false alarm using the folded line approximation and Kummer transform method; the accuracy of the model is examined by Monte Carlo simulation; the hybrid model is compared with the traditional statistical model from the perspective of detection probability by fixing the false alarm rate. The simulation results show that compared with the traditional Swerling model, the single-pulse detection performance of the hybrid cardinality model has a large difference in different azimuth ranges, which better reflects the real detection scenarios and provides theoretical support for the overall optimization design of the stealth target detection system.

Traditional methods can extract target contour features from inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) images. However, they have the problem of low accuracy. Therefore, this article proposes a target contour extraction method from ISAR images based on an improved Clean algorithm. Based on the random occurrence of noise, this article establishes an optimization function for scattering point extraction, and uses the iterative Clean method to extract as many weak scattering points as possible. A scattering point quality evaluation method based on connectivity analysis is introduced. This method is used in the post-processing of the Clean algorithm. It denoises the points extracted by the Clean algorithm and preserves the scattering points of the target. The scattering point set is processed with alpha-shape and wavelet filtering to get the target contour. The simulation and measured data processing results show that this method gives more accurate contour than existing methods. It also has better noise resistance.

The airborne synthetic aperture radar(SAR) system realizes the large azimuth width by scanning. The scanning angular velocity is restricted by azimuth resolution, squint angle and other parameters. It is a difficult problem to design and implement airborne wide-width azimuth scanning SAR with both scanning efficiency and azimuth resolution. In order to realize azimuth wide-swath scanning in the air route, a beam control method is proposed. By deriving the scanning angle change rule between different scene images, and designing the start scanning angle and end scanning angle of each scene image according to the angle change rule, the designed beam control method can meet the resolution requirements of the scanning angle velocity of each scene image and has a time-varying angular velocity with a high scanning efficiency. Overlapping between scenes to ensure coverage and the target scene is located in the middle of the scanning width in the course.

The research on target’s three-dimensional imaging is of significant meaning in feature extraction and recognition. Precession is the typical micromotion for cone-shaped space targets, such as warhead and satellites, which can be used for target feature extraction and identification. Inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging of a precession target, which is a kind of fast spinning target, is faced with migration through range cell when we use traditional imaging algorithms.

Modern Defense Technology    2025, 53 (2): 129-140.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1009-086x.2025.02.014

High-resolution inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) images play a crucial role in target recognition. However, obtaining high-resolution ISAR images requires prolonged radar exposure, which does not meet the demands of radar resource scheduling. In this paper, we propose a recognition method that guides radar image feature fusion based on incidence angles. A portion of pulse accumulation imaging during the dwell time is selected to meet the temporal adjustments and allocations of the remaining radar functions. Considering the differences in modulation phenomena among images of different aircraft models and the modulation variations of the same model at different incident angles, a hybrid attention residual module and angle-guided attention module are designed to focus the network on critical areas of the image and correlate target features with target attitudes. A feature fusion module is employed to integrate image features for fusion recognition. Through practical data of three types of aircraft, we demonstrate that this method achieves higher recognition accuracy while satisfying radar resource scheduling requirements.

The measurement of the close time is the key task of planning the time-sensitive target kill chain(TSTKC). Ignoring the overlapping relationships among the steps of TSTKC, previous studies have adopted methods based on linear accumulation. This paper proposes a dynamic measurement method for the close time of TSTKC based on overlapping relationships additionally. Simulation results show that this method is more accurate, which is helpful for the command organization to capture more strike opportunities. The method also adapts to the changes of the window of vulnerability, which can provide a theoretical basis and technical support for the construction, modelling and effectiveness evaluation of TSTKC.

Flying ad-hoc networks (FANET) using directional transmissions face challenges during network initialization due to frequent topology changes and fluctuations in link quality. To address these issues, a sensing-assisted rapid neighbor discovery method is proposed. The main idea of this method is to use a sensing mechanism to obtain neighbor node information, which accelerates network efficiency. In addition, this paper describes the adoption of a new integrated sensing and communication waveform, known as multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal time-frequency space (OTFS),which combats the Doppler effect in fast-changing channels and improves link quality. For FANET scenarios, a multi-target detection technique based on MIMO-OTFS integrated sensing and communication waveforms is studied at the physical layer. This physical layer sensing scheme is then mapped to the upper layer network, and a sensing-assisted efficient neighbor discovery algorithm is designed. Additionally, a integrated sensing and communication mechanism for collaborative discovery of multi-point is proposed. This mechanism indirectly senses and discovers potential targets by interacting with sensing information and neighbor discovery tables among neighboring nodes. The proposed mechanism enhances the initial networking efficiency of FANET. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme outperforms pure communication protocols. This leads to a significant reduction in the initial networking time of FANET, an increase in target sensing accuracy, and an overall improvement in network performance.

When a hypersonic vehicle undergoes direct force control in the atmosphere, the interaction between the control jet and the incoming flow creates disturbance flow fields. Traditional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) models struggle to accurately predict these disturbances, leading to uncertainties. In order to deepen the understanding of the influence of supersonic side-jet inflow interference on the control system and its mechanism, a highly analytical numerical calculation method for the turbulent flow field based on the cone-pillar-skirt model is established. Comparing delayed detached eddy simulation (DDES) and RANS models under varying grid densities reveals significant discrepancies in the downstream jet wake disturbance region. DDES improves the reliability of lateral jet control results, especially under well-resolved turbulent grid conditions. Supported by simulations, the study enhances understanding of turbulent characteristics in supersonic lateral jet-induced disturbances. Dynamic DDES methods show improved pressure prediction compared to traditional RANS simulations, offering insights for enhancing the prediction accuracy of direct force control systems.

Intelligent unmanned weapons and equipment are playing an increasingly vital role in modern warfare and have become essential for replacing and assisting soldiers in combat. In unmanned battlefields, rear commanders monitor the battlefield environment through communication. Given the limited bandwidth of military communication equipment, a method for real-time point cloud transmission and remote map presentation is proposed and implemented. The method first estimates the real-time pose using the FAST-LIO algorithm, then compresses the 3D point cloud (keyframe) using the Draco algorithm, and transmits the real-time pose and point cloud via Protobuf-UDP. Finally, the SC-PGO algorithm is used to optimize and generate the global map. This is the first engineering solution to achieve real-time point cloud compression and transmission based on the ROS platform. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method provides effective compression and stable transmission quality for real-time point clouds, addressing the challenges of point cloud transmission and remote map presentation under low-bandwidth wireless conditions, and enabling commanders to perceive the battlefield environment in real time.

The traditional design process for vertical lifting devices involves verifying the feasibility of the layout design through a single scheme for the hydraulic cylinder. This process does not fully leverage the coupling relationship between the layout parameters and hydraulic cylinder performance, making it difficult to achieve rapid design and optimization. The design and calculation process of the hydraulic cylinder is mathematically modeled to calculate its performance characteristics, which are then used to construct a hydraulic cylinder performance model. By incorporating this model into the design process of the vertical lifting device, a direct mapping relationship between the layout scheme and hydraulic cylinder performance is established, enabling an integrated design of both. In addition, an application study is presented, where the integrated design method is used to quickly calculate the performance parameters of hydraulic cylinders for a given layout scheme. How changes in the layout scheme affect the hydraulic cylinder’s performance parameters is also investigated.

The real-time detection of scene echoes is a prerequisite for beam synchronization in spaceborne/airborne hybrid bistatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR). To address the issues of weak scene echoes, range migration, and energy dispersion in hybrid bistatic SAR, a frequency-domain M/N detection method based on the analysis of scene scattering characteristics and echo models is proposed. The method leverages the correlation of adjacent PRF scenes to aggregate scene energy, effectively mitigating the impact of range migration.

A multi-feature joint method for radar pulse repetition interval (PRI) modulation type recognition is proposed to address the challenges of low recognition accuracy, significant impacts from pulse loss and false pulses, and sensitivity to decision threshold settings in existing types. First, the concept of density clustering is employed to remove irrelevant pulses, enabling the preprocessing of the pulse train and mitigating the effects of pulse loss and spurious pulses on pulse train patterns. Statistical methods are then applied to extract the stability features, second-order differential variation features, continuity features and pulse pair matching features of signal time difference. Finally, a random forest algorithm is used to train and test the extracted features. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves high recognition accuracy for PRI modulation types and exhibits robust resistance to pulse loss and spurious pulses.

Multi-function radar has gained widespread application due to its flexible working modes, agile waveform characteristics, and ability to perform multiple tasks in parallel. However, these capabilities also pose significant challenges to radar intelligence reconnaissance and countermeasures. Recognizing the working modes of multi-function radar serves as a fundamental step for subsequent threat assessment, adaptive countermeasures, and guided attacks, directly influencing the specificity and effectiveness of radar countermeasures. In this paper, a novel method for recognizing the working modes of multi-function radar, leveraging relational graph convolutional networks (RGCNs) is proposed. By analyzing the various working modes of multi-function radar, the method enables parallel data processing and addresses the interactions between different working modes and their characteristic parameters.

In modern combat, nodes differ significantly from the single-function nodes of the past, evolving towards multi-function integration. To address issues such as the characterization of node function diversity, the dynamic reconfiguration of system models, and realistic simulation of enemy network analysis in current node importance evaluations of combat systems, a dynamic reconfiguration model based on unit attributes for the enemy’s network is proposed. The concept of tactical weight is introduced, and multi-function integration of nodes and edges is achieved through attribute induction and attribute assignment. A method and algorithm for calculating the dynamic reconfiguration of network effectiveness are presented. Taking into account the actual operational context and efficiency, the node attack cost is incorporated, and a node importance evaluation model based on the contribution rate to system network effectiveness is proposed. In simulation experiments, node importance is evaluated using seven different metrics, including node effectiveness index, degree centrality, and betweenness centrality, under various spatiotemporal conditions. The decline in network effectiveness after network strikes is also analyzed. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method enables dynamic reconfiguration of the network post-attack, reflecting the network’s strong robustness and confirming the validity of the proposed algorithm.

In the soft hard collaborative combat mode of the air defense system, it is of great significance to reasonably and efficiently allocate targets for the coordinated interception of soft and hard killing equipment. This paper proposes a method for allocating targets for hard and soft killing weapon target assignment based on hybrid particle swarm optimization. The optimization indicators corresponding to the soft hard collaborative interception problem are analyzed. The comprehensive interception efficiency index of the target is integrated by using the shooting advantage of hard killing equipment and the interference advantage indicators such as suppression, frequency, and angle of soft killing equipment. The advantages of traditional particle swarm algorithm and genetic algorithm are combined, and an improved hybrid particle swarm algorithm is adopted. A coding structure suitable for simultaneous allocation of soft and hard equipment and a particle generation guidance operation that accelerates algorithm convergence are designed. The simulation results show that in the field fixed position air defense scenario, the hybrid particle swarm algorithm can quickly obtain the optimal target allocation scheme. Compared with traditional algorithms, the comprehensive interception efficiency of targets is significantly improved, and it has certain engineering application value in air defense command and control systems.

A network defense system must balance both security and stability. To enhance its risk control capabilities, a comprehensive risk assessment model for the network defense system based on the combination of game theory and weight assignment is proposed. The risk evaluation index system is established through literature analysis, expert surveys, and factor analysis. The subjective and objective weights of the evaluation indices are calculated using the continuous ordered weighted average (COWA) and the entropy weight method (EWM). The optimal combination weights are determined using game theory, and the risk evaluation level of the network defense system is assessed using the fuzzy matter-element method. A case study of a local area network (LAN) project validates the model. The results demonstrate that the model is a useful reference for assessing the risk of network defense systems.
