The distribution of energy within an armour system is a fundamental principle. The joining of the hard disruptive outer layer and soft absorbing backing layer is often a source of weakness in armour systems, causing premature ...

To combat the constantly shifting threat related to the trafficking of illicit drugs and terrorism and meet Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) operational requirements, the exploitation of the latest scientific and technical ...

We present simulations which predict significantly higher laser to X-ray efficiencies than those previously found in high intensity (1020-1022 Wcm-2) laser-solid simulations. The bremsstrahlung emission is shown to last ...

A huge (and increasing) amount of veracity neutral information is available to online information seekers in today’s digital world. However, knowing which information to trust is difficult for users because of the existence ...

Thermal batteries are primary (non-rechargeable) batteries. To activate the battery, a pyrotechnic heat source melts the solid electrolyte to a molten salt at high temperature (typically around 500°C). The battery activation ...

In Security and Defence, adherence to complex Export Control legislation is essential. For Governments, it is necessary to ensure that regulated items such as hardware, technical data, and defence services are only exported ...
