Artefact phenomena resulting from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image formation can pose a challenge for image interpretation. One such artefact is produced when a vibrating target is imaged. Suppression of these artefacts ...
Classic theories of deterrence do not envisage the concepts of resilience and deterrence as even remotely connected. However, these two notions may not be poles apart and may, in fact, offer complementary perspectives in ...
Among all the improvised explosive devices (IEDs) known, pipe bombs are one of the most popular devices used by terrorists. They are simple to use, easy to construct and materials are readily available. For this IED, ...
