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.
Embedded below the radome of a missile, existing RF-seekers use a mechanical
rotating antenna to steer the radiating beam in the direction of a target. Latest research
is looking at replacing the mechanical antenna ...
A synthetic bone and tissue head model was built using sequential experiments and tested against impacts with 7.62 x 39 mm MSC ammunition. The key experiment in this series was a forensic reconstruction of two military ...
With the introduction of fragment protective fabrics into combat clothing, there was a need to understand the effect of laundering on the performance of these fabrics. This thesis investigated the effect of typical laundering ...
This study involved experimental and equivalent computational investigations into the automobile-type 3―D flow physics of a diffuser bluff body in ground-effect and novel passive flow-control methods applied to the diffuser ...
Ben-Jaber, Sultan; Peveler, William J.; Quesada-Cabrera, Raul; Cortés, Emiliano; Sotelo-Vazquez, Carlos; Abdul-Karim, Nadia; Maier, Stefan A.; Parkin, Ivan P.(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-07-14)
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy is one of the most sensitive spectroscopic techniques available, with single-molecule detection possible on a range of noble-metal substrates. It is widely used to detect molecules that ...

This paper presents a general approach for the attitude control of directional drilling tools for the oil and gas industry. It extends the recent work where a kinematic bilinear model of the directional drilling tool was ...
Smith, Jeremy(Cranfield University Press, 2012-04-04)
The UK Ministry of Defence has invested heavily in acquiring equipment under Urgent Operational Requirement (UOR) procedures. These enable accelerated procurement to fill urgent capability gaps. However, the dominance of ...
Salleh, S. M.; Jusoh, M.; Ismail, A. H.; Kamarudin, M. R.; Nobles, P.; Rahim, M. K. A.; Sabapathy, T.; Osman, M. N.(IEEE, 2017-12-25)
This paper proposes the design of a reconfigurable circularly polarized textile antenna. The circular polarization feature in the proposed antenna is generated by the edge-truncation of a rectangular patch and the incorporation ...
Quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) is an ideal technique for studying water transport and relaxation dynamics at pico- to nanosecond timescales and at length scales relevant to cellular dimensions. Studies of high ...
Facts concerning the stability and functioning of key biomolecular components suggest that cellular life should no longer be viable above a few thousand atmospheres (200–300 MPa). However, organisms are seen to survive in ...
Context
Many of the systematic reviews published in software engineering are related to research or methodological issues and hence are unlikely to be of direct benefit to practitioners or teachers. Those that are ...
Context
Systematic reviews can provide useful knowledge for software engineering practice, by aggregating and synthesising empirical studies related to a specific topic.
Objective
We sought to assess how far the ...
The objective was to create a comprehensive data set of analytical results relating to the physical construction and chemical composition of ammunition components; to be used to determine the provenance of ammunition. The ...

Low-frequency (LF) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images offer a viable approach to determining the architecture and contents of buildings and underground bunkers via remote sensing. Often however, standard 2D SAR images ...
The aim of this work was to further develop a synthetic model of ballistic head injury by the addition of skin and soft tissue layers to an anatomically correct polyurethane skull filled with gelatine 10% by mass. Six head ...
Circular holography is a novel reconstruction technique for Breast Microwave Radar (BMR) imaging. Compared to current state of the art BMR image formation methods, this reconstruction approach yields spatially accurate ...
Taha, Kamal; Salah, Khaled; Yoo, Paul D.(IEEE, 2017-10-30)
Identifying defect patterns on wafers is crucial for understanding the root causes and for attributing such patterns to specific steps in the fabrication process. We propose in this paper a system called DDPfinder that ...
Aminanto, M E; Choi, R; Tanuwidjaja, H C; Yoo, P D; Kim, K(IEEE, 2017-09-28)
The recent advances in mobile technologies have resulted in Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled devices becoming more pervasive and integrated into our daily lives. The security challenges that need to be overcome mainly stem ...
Classification of hyperspectral images (HSI) has been a challenging problem under active investigation for years especially due to the extremely high data dimensionality and limited number of samples available for training. ...
Dental calculus is a complex biological material that has been found to provide significant evidence of past population diet, health and habitual activity. It is composed of mineral phases, trace elements, organic species ...
