Where experts from Academia - Cranfield University - and Officers of the British Armed Forces meet to teach Defence Science, Technology and Management. We are the academic provider and partner to the Defence Academy, UK.
Carbon monoxide (CO) from the use of biomass products causes some deaths in the United Kingdom every year. This study was undertaken to evaluate the amount of CO from five species of wood sawdust, and charcoal with a case ...
The rapidly rising industrial interest in hyperspectral imaging (HSI) has generated an increased demand for cost effective HSI devices. We are demonstrating a mobile and low-cost multispectral imaging system, enabled by ...
This work proposes a high-speed Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) based navigation architecture that is appropriate for uncooperative relative space navigation applications. In contrast to current solutions that exploit ...
Using high speed video, the impact of blood drops falling at three velocities (1.9, 4.2 and 5.8 ms−1) were filmed from both the technical face and for the first time the technical rear of three different mass per unit areas ...
Polylactic acid (PLA) is commonly used as a feedstock material for commercial 3D printing. As components manufactured from such material become more commonplace, it is inevitable that some of the resultant systems will be ...

The transition-sensitive, three-equation k-kL-ω eddy-viscosity closure model was used for simulations of three-dimensional, single-element and multi-element wing configurations operating in close proximity to the ground. ...
Understanding terrorist innovation has emerged as a critical research question. Terrorist innovation challenges status quo assumptions about the nature of terrorist threats and emphasises a need for counterterrorism policy ...
Blast effects on structures is an important topic in this modern age for many practising engineers, including structural engineers designing buildings for safety or weapons engineers attempting to destroy enemy infrastructure. ...
A planar, low-profile, dual-band and dual-polarized antenna on a semi-flex substrate is proposed in this paper. The antenna is fabricated on Rogers substrate with a thickness of 3.04 mm and sized at 70.4×76.14×3.11 mm3 ...
This paper discusses the effects of thickness, mass per unit area, sett, yarn linear density and twist of calico fabrics (100% cotton, plain woven) on the morphology of passive bloodstains. Horse blood was dropped vertically ...
Osteoporosis is a prevalent bone disease around the world, characterised by low bone mineral density and increased fracture risk. Currently, the gold standard for identifying osteoporosis and increased fracture risk is ...
Selvaraju, R.; Jamaluddin, M. H.; Kamarudin, Ramlee(IEEE, 2019-10-01)
A four-element printed antenna array operating at 25 GHz frequency with complementary split ring resonator.
(CSRR) has been proposed for beamforming applications. The CSRR elements has been used to suppress the mutual ...
Previous research has indicated that coded masks with open fractions <0.5 are optimal for imaging some types of far-field scenes. The open fraction, in this case, refers to the ratio of open elements in the mask, with ...
eXfiltration Advanced Persistent Threats (XAPTs) increasingly account for incidents concerned with critical information exfiltration from High Valued Targets (HVTs). Existing Cyber Defence frameworks and data fusion models ...
Rachman, M. A.; Azad, S.; Asyhari, Taufiq; Bhuiyan, M. Z. A.; Anwar, K.(IEEE, 2018-06-27)
Every year, Alpine experiences a considerable number of avalanches causing danger to visitor and saviors, where most of the existing techniques to mitigate the number of fatalities in such hostile environments are based ...
This paper presents a design process for the challenging problem of sizing the engine pack for a Distributed Series Hybrid Electric Propulsion System (DSHEPS) of Unmanned Aircraft Vehicle (UAV). Sizing the propulsion system ...
Lima, Sergio X.; Costa, Karolina P. S.; Lima, Zelmo R.; Rother, Fagner C.; Araujo, Olga M. O.; Vital, Helio C.; Brum, Tercio; Wilson, F.R.S; Amorim, Jose Carlos C.; Healy, Matthew J. F.; Andrade, Edson R.(De Gruyter Open, 2019-04-01)
The detonation of an (hypothetical) improvised nuclear device (IND) can generate atmospheric release of radioactive material in the form of particles and dust that ultimately contaminate the soil. In this study, the ...

Three different orientations of a tape-wrapped carbon fibre composite with phenolic resin matrix (abbreviated to TWCP) have been investigated under one-dimensional shock loading. This has been achieved via a single-stage ...
In this paper, we propose a compressive sensing-based method to pan-sharpen the low-resolution multispectral (LRM) data, with the help of high-resolution panchromatic (HRP) data. In order to successfully implement the ...
