    A graph convolutional network (GCN) is proposed to solve the problems such as complex target attributes and unstructured data during target threat assessment of air combat and improve the assessment efficiency. The improved criteria importance through intercriteria correlation (ICRITIC) method is introduced to build a target threat assessment model based on ICRITIC-GCN. In view of the spatial topology and attribute complexity of battlefield threat targets, the advantages of GCNs in processing non-Euclidean data are used for learning and training. To address the problem that the traditional method is too subjective in attribute weighting, the ICRITIC method considers the correlation between attributes and the amount of information on attributes and distributes attribute weights objectively. The simulations show that the algorithm is improved in processing efficiency and accuracy when solving the multi-target threat assessment problem.

    In this paper, the steady-state current-carrying capacity and impact current-carrying capacity of the flexible PCB cable inside a micro aircraft are calculated and designed theoretically. By the MIL-STD-275 standard and empirical formula, the steady-state current-carrying capacity of the flexible PCB cable is reviewed and calculated. With reference to GJB 4057-2000, the impact current-carrying capacity of the flexible PCB cable is estimated. For the theoretical calculation and estimation, the steady-state current-carrying test under the condition of twice the theoretical value and the pulse current test under the condition of 10 times the theoretical value are designed. The test results are consistent with the expected ones, which verifies the correctness of the theoretical calculation. In the current-carrying capacity test, the temperature of the flexible PCB under the current-carrying state of each current value is obtained, and the thermal simulation is carried out by Flotherm software for verification. The stable temperature of the flexible PCB under each current value state is simulated. The thermal simulation results conform to the actual test results, which verifies the authenticity and rationality of the experimental data. The results of the current-carrying capacity experiment and simulation data in this paper can provide experimental data support for the design of PCB in micro aircraft for subsequent short-time operation.

    A vast bulk of low-energy fluid is easy to accumulate in the three-dimensional corner range of the rear stage in a high-pressure compressor. To quantitatively analyze the correlation between suction slot position and corner separation, this paper, taking a high-load compressor cascade as the research object, discusses the influence of the axial position changes in the full-span suction slot on the cascade performance by the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation software to guide suction slot design. As a result, it proposes the distance (ZCS) between the starting position of the corner separation and the leading edge of the cascade as the quantitative standard. It is found that the total pressure loss decreases first and then increases as the axial position of the suction slot moves upstream around the design working conditions, and there is an optimal axial position of the suction slot on the blade suction surface in different conditions. At the angle of incidence of 0°, the optimal performance can be achieved when the axial distance between suction slot and separation point is 0.33 times as much as ZCS, and the total pressure loss coefficient can be reduced by 10.9%. With the help of the corner separation structure, this quantitative result realizes the standardized guidance of the axial position design of the suction slot.

    This study aims to achieve the heterogeneous direct force/aerodynamic force compound control of near-space vehicles (NSVs). As conventional compound control of NSVs ignores the difference in heterogeneous characteristics of the executive body, the actual control performance cannot fulfill the expectation, and the method faces the problems of significant attitude oscillation and great energy consumption of the reaction control system (RCS). Hence, a compound control allocation method based on 0-1 integer programming is proposed. With this method, the moment realization problem of RCS allocated by direct force/aerodynamic force compound control is changed to a 0-1 integer programming problem. In this way, the control allocation problem of the heterogeneous execution body can be effectively addressed. The simulation indicates that the proposed method can effectively reduce energy consumption and attitude oscillation.

    In this paper, a control strategy based on bearing-only measurements is designed for the velocity-tracking formation control of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarm. The controller design of UAVs only depends on the relative bearing of an adjacent UAV, which can be applied to a situation where the communication of the UAV swarm is blocked. The velocity tracking of the UAV swarm formation system is achieved by the design of the proportional integral controller based on bearing-only measurements. The stability of the controller is analyzed by the basic Lyapunov function, which is more conducive to the extension and application of the control strategy to more complex situations than the method based on the optimization strategy and continuous excitation. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control method is verified by fixed and velocity-tracking formation control simulations.

    It is difficult to predict the combat intention of an air-defense target. Hence, an intention recognition method based on the dynamic Bayesian network and template matching is proposed to predict the combat intention of air-defense targets. Specifically, target feature information based on real-time perception, domain expert knowledge, and accumulated historical combat situation data are used for the reasoning of current combat operations of an air-defense target by the dynamic Bayesian network. Then, a possible sequence of operations is predicted according to the current combat operations of the target. On this basis, the combat intention of the target is predicted by the situation template matching method. The simulation shows that the proposed method can effectively predict the intention of the air-defense target and obtain a higher recognition rate.

    An estimation and sorting method for frequency-hopping signals based on improved connected region labeling is proposed to tackle the problem that small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are difficult to identify in a complex electromagnetic environment. Firstly, the energy threshold statistical method based on local windows is used to denoise the signal in the time and frequency domains. Then, the conventional connected region labeling method is improved to design a method to associate segments of the connected region and a method to suppress interference, which solves the problems of connected region breaks and interference mixing. After that, in the case of the mixing of multi-frequency-hopping signals, the connected region is reconstructed by the time–frequency amplitude difference. Finally, parameter extraction and signal sorting and identification are carried out according to the improved label map of the connected region. The simulation shows that under the environment of noise, interference, and multi-frequency-hopping signal aliasing, the estimation accuracy of signal parameters and the correct identification probability of target signals are significantly higher than those of the conventional connected region labeling method.

    A simultaneous estimation algorithm of the sensor gain-phase error and direction of arrival (DOA) is proposed to solve the problem of reduced DOA estimation accuracy due to the sensor gain-phase error. By setting few calibrated array elements on one side of the array, the proposed algorithm changes the structure of the error matrix, according to the characteristics of which it then constructs a transformation matrix. Through the transformation matrix and subspace algorithm, the simultaneous estimation of sensor gain-phase errors and DOA is realized. In addition, the algorithm can solve the problem of inaccurate error estimation when there is a large difference in the source power and achieve a high-precision simultaneous estimation of errors and angles. The experimental simulations demonstrate the correctness and validity of this algorithm.

    Blind source separation of complex signals composed of reconnaissance, interference, detection, and communication signals is the first step in the processing of received signals in the integrated reconnaissance, interference, detection, and communication system, which requires higher accuracy of blind source separation. The traditional blind source separation method based on independent component analysis has such defects as the easy acquisition of local optimums and poor separation performance. To solve these problems, this paper proposes an improved pigeon-inspired optimization algorithm for blind source separation of complex signals. A location factor is added to the map and compass operators of the pigeon-inspired optimization algorithm, and a compression factor is added to the landmark operator. In this way, the global exploration ability in the early stage and the local search accuracy in the later stage of the algorithm are balanced, and the problems of the easy fall into local optimums and premature convergence are solved. The optimization ability and convergence speed of the algorithm are improved. Simulations show that the algorithm proposed in this paper can better separate complex signals under low and strong noise. Compared with the traditional independent component analysis method, the algorithm has better separation performance and convergence speed.

The weights of the two levels of indexes are obtained by the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The examples provided verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the method. The method can provide a reference for the application orientation of the adaptive camouflage system.

    In view of the uncertain demand, uncertain scheduling time, and uncertain path reliability in the scheduling of equipment maintenance and support resources in wartime, this paper quantifies the uncertain information by introducing triangular fuzzy numbers and constructs a multi-objective scheduling model. Specifically, the model aims to achieve the shortest scheduling time, highest path reliability, and lowest cost during the scheduling of maintenance and support resources. In addition, the method to determine the relative importance of each objective is given. The multi-objective model is transformed into a single-objective model by the minimax method, which is solved by LINGO software to obtain the optimal scheduling scheme of maintenance and support resources. Finally, a numerical example is introduced for analysis and calculation. The results show that the model is effective and has some reference value for the scheduling of equipment maintenance and support resources in wartime.

    Missile testing is required to ensure that the real-time state and performance of an anti-aircraft missile can be obtained during its full life cycle. Reasonable testing item design is the basis to ensure the feasibility of the missile test process and the credibility of test results. Test item planning is closely related to missile testability design, and missile types and testability design ideas affect the design results of test items. Through the analysis of the combat process of anti-aircraft missiles with combined guidance, this paper proposes a planning strategy for the test items of anti-aircraft missiles and analyzes the associated factors in practical application. The test items formed on this basis can have good test coverage and feasibility and meet the all-stage test requirements of the missile during its life cycle.

    The rolling bearing vibration signal can provide timely and accurate information on the status characteristics of electromechanical equipment and can realize online or offline monitoring, which is widely used in fault diagnosis of rolling bearings. Due to the complex and changing working environment of rolling bearings, they are often mixed with a lot of noise, which can drown out the useful feature information of electromechanical equipment status. As the traditional wavelet thresholding function cannot greatly reduce the noise in bearing signals, this paper proposes a wavelet soft-thresholding algorithm optimized by differential evolution (DE) to suppress the noise in bearing vibration signals. The algorithm performs wavelet decomposition on the noisy signal, uses the generalized cross-validation (GCV) function as the new thresholding function to process the decomposed wavelet coefficients, and employs the DE algorithm to seek the optimal threshold. The experiments use the bearing data of Case Western Reserve University for simulation analysis. Compared with the commonly used denoising methods, the method in this paper can effectively improve the denoising effect by removing the noise to a large extent while well retaining the characteristic signal.
