  1. 1. On the Military Utility of Spectral Design in Signature Management : a Systems Approach

    Författare :Kent Andersson; Jouko Vankka; Gunnar Hult; Hans Kariis; Hans Liwång; Harold Lawson; Jari Hartikainen; Försvarshögskolan; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; military utility; survivability; signature management; systems engineering; camouflage; Low Observable Technology; spectral design; multi-spectral; Försvarssystem; Military Technology;

    Sammanfattning : There is an ongoing duel between military sensor development and developments in signature management. The last decade, with warfare characterized by joint expeditionary operations and asymmetry, has favored sensors. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Låtsaskrigen : föreställningar om krig, maskulinitet och historia i krigsspel under 200 år

    Författare :Tomas Karlsson; Finn Arne Jörgensen; Esbjörn Larsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Wargame; masculinity; gender studies; history; computer games; video games; board games; miniature games; history culture; media archeology; media war; mediation; authenticity; simulation; play; military history; Reisswitz; Game Studies; counter factual history; historical accounts; warriors; krigsspel; historia; maskulinitet; dataspel; brädspel; historiekultur; simulering; militärhistoria; kontrafaktik; spel; genusvetenskap; history and history teaching; historia med didaktisk inriktning;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates how different wargames relate to notions of war, masculinity and history. It poses the question how the concept of authenticity is used in relation to wargames portrayal of war, masculinity and history. The outline of the thesis is chronological, spanning roughly from the 19th century to the present. LÄS MER

  4. 3. War and Unreason. Bounded Learning Theory and War Duration

    Författare :Marco Nilsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; war duration; security dilemma; offense-defense balance; offensive expectations; offense dominance; defense dominance; Winter War; Continuation War; Iran-Iraq War; Indo- Pakistani War; ideas; rational choice; expected utility; war; bounded learning theory.; war duration;

    Sammanfattning : Why are some wars longer than others? Offense-defense theorists have assumed that wars are shorter and it is more difficult for states to create security when military technology favors the offense and attacking is easier than defending. This study argues that this assumption is wrong on both accounts. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Affordances and Constraints of Intelligent Decision Support for Military Command and Control : Three Case Studies of Support Systems

    Författare :Ola Leifler; Henrik Eriksson; Patrick Lambrix; Bartel Van de Walle; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Decision Support; planning; machine learning; information management; Command and Control; Computer science; Datalogi;

    Sammanfattning : Researchers in military command and control (C2) have for several decades sought to help commanders by introducing automated, intelligent decision support systems. These systems are still not widely used, however, and some researchers argue that this may be due to those problems that are inherent in the relationship between the affordances of technology and the requirements by the specific contexts of work in military C2.

  7. 5. Secure Tactical Communications for Inter-Organizational Collaboration : The Role of Emerging Information and Communications Technology, Privacy Issues, and Cyber Threats on the Digital Battlefield

    Författare :Johan Sigholm; Martin Norsell; Anne Persson; Gurpreet Dhillon; Högskolan i Skövde; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Försvarssystem; Systems science for defence and security; Information Systems; Informationssystem IS ;

    Sammanfattning : The development within the area of information and communications technology (ICT) has been rapid during the last couple of decades. Advancements in mobile technology, such as smartphones and other portable devices with embedded sensors, rapid expansion of communications infrastructure, and increased spectrum utilization, has had a major impact on civilian society, but increasingly also on professional organizations such as the Swedish Armed Forces.
