Full textDesde o início de do século XIX, simulações de combate são utilizadas em treinamentos militares. Para que um treinamento ocorra de forma confiável é necessário envolver uma grande quantidade de militares nos adestramentos. No final de 1940, a ideia de agentes computacionais em inteligência artificial se mostrou uma excelente ferramenta, contribuindo para reduzir esta quantidade de pessoas envolvidas nas simulações de combate. Agentes capazes de perceber o ambiente em que estão inseridos e tomar decisões, agindo sobre ele, seguindo um conjunto de regras podem representar o comportamento de um soldado. Agentes inseridos numa simulação militar devem então, perceber o campo de batalha e tomar uma série de ações com base em uma doutrina militar. Logo, o objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar, através da modelagem de agentes computacionais uma definição do comportamento destes baseados na doutrina militar, para que estes agentes possam substituir parte dos militares evolvidos em uma simulação de combate, sem afetar a confiabilidade desta. Além de tornar os sistemas de simulação mais eficientes reduzindo a quantidade de militares necessária para a sua correta aplicação, este trabalho também ajuda a verificar a consistência lógica das ações descritas nos manuais doutrinários.
Since the beginning of nineteenth century combat simulations are used in military training. It s necessary to involve lots of military to these trainings occur reliably. In the late 1940s the idea of computational agents was developed in artificial intelligence and showed as an excellent tool to reduce the amount of personnel involved in combat simulations. Agents perceive the environment where they are inserted and take actions upon it following a set of rules. That reminds the behavior of a soldier. A soldier, or a group of then, perceive the battlefield and take a series of actions based on military doctrine. Therefore, the scope of this work is to present a viable way to define the behavior of computational agents based on military doctrine, so that they can replace some of the personnel involved in a combat simulation without affecting the reliability of the training in course. In addition making more efficient simulation systems, reducing the amount of required military for its proper implementation, can also help to check the logical consistency of the actions planned in the doctrinal manuals.

The study analyzed attrition from a military special operations selection program to determine what combination of individual differences measured before the program best predicted attrition during the program. The individual differences measured prior to the program were physical abilities, cognitive abilities, and personality. Archival data from 748 candidate records spanning eight different classes during 2019 was analyzed. Attrition is the departure of an individual from an organization, or from a hiring process. This study dealt with attrition from a hiring, or personnel selection process, which is less commonly studied than attrition from within an organization. Secondary purposes of the study included how attrition from the first week of the program differed from the remaining seven weeks, and determining if a specific broad personality profile best predicted attrition. The study found additional results that were not anticipated, specifically, that the military sample differed meaningfully on important dimensions of the Jackson Personality Inventory-Revised (JPI-R) personality scales, in comparison with previous study samples (Detwiler & Ramanaiah, 1996; Paunonen & Jackson, 1996). The practical result of the study was a mathematical prediction model that incorporated a candidate’s scores on pushups, sit-ups, 2-mile run, performance IQ, and three personality variables, and calculates a candidates’ probability of success. The three personality variables that predicted success were scores for sociability, and two composites—a Conscientiousness Composite and an Openness Composite. Mathematical models for week 1 attrition and attrition from weeks 2-8 differed from the 8-week attrition model, and from each other, suggesting that attrition during different timeframes is due to different reasons. Physical predictors: 2 mile run score, pushups score, and sit-ups score, were strong predictors of success for each of the time periods. Verbal IQ did not predict for any time period, while performance IQ predicted 8-week success, and success during the week 2-8 time period. Personality predictors varied the most by timeframe, although a component of Conscientiousness predicted strongly for each timeframe. Openness-related personality facets predicted for 8-week success and success from week 1 with a negative relationship. In contrast, Anxiety, a related sub-facet of Neuroticism, predicted moderately (negative relationship) for success only from weeks 2-8. Unexpected findings included the military sample’s different factor structure on the JPI-R, the dominance of the physical predictors in all models, and the strength of personality predictors relative to cognitive abilities. Implications for military and similar types of selection contexts, where selection through training includes a significant physical component, such as police or firefighters, are discussed.

Military land management is vital to the future health and usability of maneuver training areas. As land disturbance increases, runoff from the area also increases and may create significant erosion potential. Determining the relationship between what is safe training versus what is harmful to the environment can be done by determining runoff potential at different disturbance percentages given different training intensities. Various studies have shown that soil density, soil structure, plant biodiversity, animal biodiversity, and many other essential ecosystem factors are greatly damaged by continuous training. These ecosystem factors influence runoff amounts and likewise erosion potential in that area. The primary factor examined in this study was the Curve Number (CN). Since military procedures do not have predefined CNs, representative CNs were created based off of CNs for agricultural use and supplemental research about training impacts on the land. Training intensity was broken into four classes: undisturbed, light use, moderate use, and heavy use. Five sample watersheds on Fort Riley were used as replications for the study. Disturbance intensity indexes were broken into 10% increments, and changes in runoff amount and peak rate modeled with TR-55. Statistical analysis was done comparing watersheds, training intensities and disturbance percentages for different storm magnitudes to assess statistically significance of changes in runoff amount and peak rate. This analysis showed that runoff amount and rate were both significantly impacted at every 10% increase on disturbance percentage. Results also showed that at the lower disturbance percentage (less than 30%), runoff amount and rate were not significantly impacted by training use classes. From this it can be seen that even with very little training done to the land increased erosion can be expected.

Full textIn the coming years, the avionics industry will have to improve the thermal control of both existing and emerging highly integrated electronic components and modules. The standard cooling approaches using forced air are no longer applicable. It is necessary to develop new technologies being able to offer solutions compatible with those new problematic. An extensive literature review is presented to show the existing cooling solutions for avionics. Two-phase passive systems, such as LHPs are very attractive as they may be used as heat spreader, associated with a classical heat sink to dissipate the heat. A first family of LHP, designed and manufactured by the ATHERM Company and filled with methanol as the working fluid is described. Two other LHP families are also presented. The first one was manufactured by ATHERM and has modified condenser and transport line shapes, in order to be integrated into an existing electronic card. The second one was manufactured and designed by the Institute of Thermal Physics, on the same specification basis. An experimental setup is designed and built to test these LHPs. The effects of fluid fill charge, bayonet and secondary wick are observed. Orientation and acceleration tests are conducted on LHPs integrated within an avionic rack. Even if the LHPs exhibited sensitivity to orientation and acceleration, no failure of the LHP was observed up to the maximum applied acceleration (6 G). A steady state model of LHP based on a multi-level approach is developed. Various levels of complexity and precision can be selected for the model of the individual component, going from the nodal to the 3D model. The model is validated with experimental data from the laboratory tests. A good agreement is achieved between the experimental and the numerical data. The numerical results show that the fluid fill charge within the reservoir affects the thermal behavior of the LHP, by modifying the heat flux distribution. High temperature gradients are highlighted in the condenser plate and a redesign of its shape is proposed. Various modifications of the evaporator design are considered. The most important decrease of the evaporator thermal resistance is brought by a good disposition of the axial vapor grooves associated with an optimized saddle shape or radial vapor grooves

Full textThis thesis presents two prescriptive models for approaching challenges to special operations forces with regard to personnel recovery in an urban environment. It begins by developing a model for overt recovery methods, using McRaven's model of Special Operations as the foundation. This model is then tested against three different case studies from operations in Mogadishu, Somalia in 1993. The original six principles proposed by McRaven are complimented with four newly-prescribed principles that account for the interactions of the isolated personnel. Following this analysis, a nonconventional assisted recovery model is presented for clandestine personnel recovery methods. This model borrows the relative superiority concept from McRaven's theory, but proposes six different principles. This model is evaluated using three case studies from the World War II era through Operation IRAQI FREEDOM. These cases support the idea that while the urban operational environment may vary across time and space, the principles supporting successful personnel recovery operations endure.

The Holdridge Life Zone system was used to model the geographic extent of present and future climates that influence the distribution of forest biomes and tree species in the coterminous U.S. The Holdridge system integrates mean annual temperature, mean annual precipitation and mean annual potential evapotranspiration to define bioclimatic life zones that are strongly correlated with the spatial distribution of major forest cover types and tree species distributions. Climate projections were based on an ensemble of 16 GCM’s and three future greenhouse gas emissions scenarios (low-B1, moderate-A1B and high-A2). Changes in the extent and location of Holdridge life zones over approximately 80 years were analyzed and results interpreted in terms of potential impacts to forest tree species and major forest cover types. The magnitude of change from historic conditions also was evaluated for 663 U.S. military installations to aid in the development of vulnerability metrics for Department of Defense facilities and to better understand potential climate trajectories for different regions of the country. Forest cover was modeled at Ft. Drum, New York to illustrate potential changes in species composition and cover type distribution at a landscape scale under future climate change scenarios. Results suggest that there is potential for significant changes in the distribution of some tree species and forest cover types at Ft. Drum over the next 50 to 100 years under warmer climate conditions projected for the northeastern U.S. Warm temperate tree species at the northern end of their ranges (e.g., oaks, hickories) increased in abundance, especially on more xeric sites such as sand plains and convex landforms covered in coarse-textured glacial till. However, boreal and cool temperate species, such as sugar maple, yellow birch, aspens and eastern hemlock were projected to remain significant components of the Ft. Drum landscape late into the century on all but the most xeric sites. Overall, changes in species composition were less dramatic than expected at a landscape scale and highly sensitive to establishment probabilities related to specific site characteristics (e.g., soil texture and drainage).

Combat-related Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) poses complex challenges for policymakers that systems analysis could help elucidate. True population prevalence and future clinical need are highly uncertain, because individuals' PTSD symptomatology may fluctuate in time. Though we increasingly measure policy outcomes, outcome metrics often address direct, short-term effects, so the impact on long-term prevalence is unclear. The PTSD burden involves a diverse set of actors across domains who independently make decisions based on incomplete information. Systems analysis can indicate how these local aspects of the PTSD burden jointly impact long-term prevalence and identify leverage points for PTSD mitigation. This thesis presents a systems framework and stochastic modeling approach to predict PTSD prevalence and clinical demand over the decades following the current Operations Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Iraqi Freedom (OIF). The system developed in this study incorporates the literature on PTSD symptom dynamics and social factors governing its recognition and treatment in order to identify the structure and dynamics of the PTSD burden. The simulation results indicate the extent to which PTSD is chronic, prevalent, and resistant to treatment. The best-case model predicts that 11-16% of OEF/OIF combat veterans will maintain a long-term need for PTSD services, and as many as 23% of OEF/OIF combat veterans will seek PTSD-related health care at least once in their lives. By controlling for symptom dynamics, model results account for a large component of the variation in empirically observed prevalence rates. Sensitivity and policy analyses show that care-seeking factors tend to have the most significant effect on long-term PTSD prevalence. Model limitations and assumptions are documented, particularly regarding symptom and care-seeking dynamics and parameter interactions, to provide the basis for future empirical and analytical work to elaborate systemic complexities underlying military mental health. The current study specifically addresses OEF/OIF combat-related PTSD, however this approach may be generalized to other populations and mental health concerns. This study has three main policymaking implications. First, study predictions regarding long-term PTSD prevalence and clinical demand can be used for clinical planning and resource allocation over time. Second, baseline model results indicate the long-term limits of current best practice PTSD mitigation efforts. Third, the study identifies effective policy levers by indicating the factors with the greatest direct impact on long-term PTSD prevalence.

Full textThis study uses regression techniques on United States Military Academy (USMA) cadet/ candidate data in order to develop a hardiness-prediction model and explore retention during and after graduation from USMA. We created several data sets using 42 variables from three cohorts (N= 3,716) and analyzed them using regression techniques. Preliminary results showed high school type and the interaction between gender and parents education level as significant. Specifically, private religious high schools and male cadets with less-educated fathers are positive predictors of hardiness (R2 = 0.05). Model quality improved in subsequent regressions by identifying a target population. Among varsity football players (N= 149), less-educated mothers and liberal political views are negative predictors of hardiness while race and parents military service history (African Americans with fathers who served in the military) and prep school attendance are positive predictors of hardiness (R2 = 0.97). Logistic regression results suggest military, physical, and academic performance are positive predictors of USMA retention while hardiness-challenge, participation in varsity athletics, and less-educated fathers are negative predictors. Logistic regression results identified basic branch as the sole positive predictor of U.S. Army officer retention beyond a USMA graduates sixth year of active federal service. Infantry officers, followed by military police, armor and engineers, remain in service longer (medical corps and aviation branch officers excluded).

Full textMilitary spending constitutes an important economic phenomenon because in 2010, 1630b dollar are affected to the defense sector all around the world. Economists are interested in the economic consequences of such spending. However, since 40 years, one has to note that there is no consensus from this literature. This absence leads to difficulties to formulate relevant economic policy conclusions. The aim of this thesis is to determine what are the causes of the diversity of results in the past literature. Two ways are then considered: on the one hand, a diversity of models with hypothesis diametrically opposed concerning the impact of the defense sector on economic growth and on the other hand, non-linear behavior which may modify this impact for a same model.This dissertation contains four chapters. In the first one, we detail a literature review in order to draw the principal regularities in terms of results for each theoretical model. The chapter two constitutes an empirical verification of the contingency of results from different models, for a sample of OECD countries. Our empirical strategy leads to consider the complementary rather than the competition between models. In the third chapter, we examine the non-linear phenomenon with original steps and empirical method. We show that non-linear regression outperforms linear regression and characterizes asymmetric effects of the military spending on growth. The last chapter aims to analyze the case of France in order to confirm the usefulness of the strategy developed in past chapters for raising economic policy recommendations

Full textThis work proposes a discussion on the impacts of digitization over military command and control systems. The central hypothesis is that the intensive deployment of digital technologies is associated to a greater risk of informational overload in those systems. This applies especially to military forces that have adopted doctrines with a technocratic bias, such as the network-centric warfare. In the first chapter, we discuss the context that encompass our research topic, making a brief retrospective of the process of digitization and defining some key concepts. In the second chapter, in form of article, we present the computational model developed for simulating the operation of a command and control system under the condition of informational overload. The article also contains a critical review on the command and control approaches, with emphasis on the literature about network-centric warfare. The third and last chapter brings out some conclusions regarding the use of computational modeling as a research method and the current state of the debate on network-centric warfare.

Full textTiivistelmä Strategia on taistelujen ohjausta sodan tavoitteiden saavuttamiseksi, mutta koska jokainen sota eroaa taustoiltaan ja motiiveiltaan, lienee universaalin strategian luominen sotilaallisiin tarkoituksiin mahdotonta. Armeijalla voi olla yksi rauhanajan hankintastrategia, mutta sota-ajan hankintastrategia on voimakkaasti olosuhteista riippuvainen. Sota-ajan resurssien saanti on kuitenkin pyrittävä turvaamaan jo rauhanajan hankintastrategialla, mikä vaatii korkeaa organisaatiollista kaksikätisyyttä, koska sota-ajan puuttuvan resurssit voivat aiheuttaa valtavia menetyksiä. Suomessa Puolustusvoimat on erittäin riippuvainen yksityisen sektorin kuljetusyrityksistä, mutta toisaalta Puolustusvoimat on erittäin merkittävä kuljettajien kouluttaja sekä kuljetusyritysten asiakas. Suomessa kuljetukset ovat myös keskeisessä asemassa yhteiskunnan julkisten perustoimintojen turvaamisessa, lisäksi ne ovat erittäin tärkeitä kansalaisten, yksityisen sektorin ja huoltovarmuuden kannalta. Näin ollen kuljetusyritysten ja Puolustusvoimien välillä on vankka keskinäinen riippuvuus, jonka vuoksi ne ovat hyvä konteksti tutkia strategisia kumppanuuksia. Tähän väitöskirjaan sisältyvät tieteelliset aikakausilehtiartikkelit rakentuvat kahden tutkimusaineiston ympärille. Ensimmäinen tutkimusaineisto on kerätty Suomen Kuljetus ja Logistiikka (SKAL ry) yhdistyksen jäseniltä (460 hyväksyttyä vastausta edusten 17.7 prosenttia valitusta kohderyhmästä). Toinen tutkimusaineisto on kerätty Puolustusvoimien ja muun julkisen turvallisuussektorin (poliisi, sairaanhoito ja palolaitokset) logistiikkapalveluiden hankinnasta vastaavilta henkilöiltä sekä soveltuvilta yksityisen sektorin toimijoilta (149 hyväksyttyä vastausta edustaen 18.0 prosenttia valitusta kohderyhmästä). Molemmat tutkimusaineistot ovat analysoitu kuvailevilla tilastollisilla menetelmillä sekä rakenneyhtälömallinnuksella. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena on löytää mahdolliset ongelmat ja tarjota alalla toimivien henkilöiden näkemys Puolustusvoimien ja yksityisten kuljetusyritysten yhteistyöstä. Näiden myötä pyritään kehittämään Puolustusvoimien toimitusketjun hallinnan organisaatiollista kaksikätisyyttä. Peliteoreettisesta näkökulmasta on tärkeää kuinka puolustusvoimat parantamaan huoltovarmuutta koska kuljetusala ja Puolustusvoimat ovat erittäin merkittäviä toimijoita toisilleen. Koska ilmeisesti Puolustusvoimien logistiikkastrategia pyrkii vaikuttamaan pääasiassa suoriin kuljetuskustannuksiin, on Puolustusvoimilla opittavaa omista käytännöistään. Keskittymällä kuljetusten laatuun suorien kuljetuskustannusten sijasta voidaan logistiikan kokonaiskustannuksia alentaa ja samalla turvata kotimaisten kuljetusresurssien säilymistä
