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.
Space debris represents a growing threat for both current spacecraft and future launches. This is exceptionally alarming in the case of low Earth orbits, where chain impacts of existing debris generate even more fragments, ...
Throughout the Western Balkans a range of international actors have been involved in the comprehensive reconstruction of polities, economies and societies ravaged by the violent conflicts and political turmoil of the 1990s. ...
Experiments demonstrate directional suppression of noise from a high-speed jet using an asymmetric parallel secondary stream. The secondary stream attenuates Mach wave radiation in the lower hemisphere of the acoustic far ...
Smartphones and tablets are becoming ubiquitous within our connected lives and as a result these devices are increasingly being used for more and more sensitive applications, such as banking. The security of the information ...
This paper proposes a secondary reactive collision avoidance system for micro class of robots based on a novel approach known as the Furcated Luminance-Difference Processing (FLDP) inspired by the Lobula Giant Movement ...
The 3-D automatic target recognition (ATR) has many advantages over its 2-D counterpart, but there are several constraints in the context of small low-cost unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). These limitations include the ...
We propose a multi-modal and multi-discipline data fusion strategy appropriate for Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) on Synthetic Aperture Radar imagery. Our architecture fuses a proposed Clustered version of the AlexNet ...

Operating systems such as Windows 7 implement a thumbnail cache structure to store visual thumbnails and associated metadata. There is no standard implementation of a thumbnail cache or its functions, which has led developers ...
The formation of Cranfield University’s Counterterrorism Centre of Excellence was announced in late summer 2017. It has been established in conjunction with Pool Re, a mutual reinsurer which underwrites over £2 trillion ...

Shepherds have a particular place in the history and culture of Romania. For centuries they have had rights to graze their sheep in public pastures and manage their flocks using traditional methods. Changes at the national ...
The Balearic Islands occupy a central space in the western Mediterranean, at the maritime crossroads between North Africa, the Iberian Peninsula and the rest of southwestern Europe. As such, it is well placed to investigate ...

Osteoporosis is a prevalent bone condition, characterised by low bone mineral density and increased fracture risk. Currently, the gold standard for identifying osteoporosis and increased fracture risk is through quantification ...
Lu, Zhenbo; Debiasi, Marco; Khoo, Boo Cheong(Institute of Noise Control Engineering, 2016-08-21)
The present paper is devoted to identify the acoustic characteristic of a multi-rotor MAV, and then explore effective noise reduction technologies for suppressing its high-level noise. It is found that the noise is mainly ...
Firearms currently pose a known risk at the borders. The enormous number of X-ray images from parcels, luggage and freight coming into each country via rail, aviation and maritime presents a continual challenge to screening ...
Selvaraju, R.; Jamaluddin, M. H.; Kamarudin, Muhammad Ramlee; Nasir, J.; Dahri, M. H.(Electromagnetics Academy, 2018-04-24)
A square-shaped complementary split ring resonator (CSRR) filtering structure for isolation improvement is presented in this paper. The proposed research work investigates the design and development of a simple and compact ...
Multibeam radar (MBR) systems based on waveform diversity require a set of orthogonal waveforms in order to generate multiple channels in transmission and extract them efficiently at the receiver with digital signal ...
