    To the problem of nonlinear system identification, the nonlinear system is expanded in a linear regression form under one basis function set.When the basis function set is known, the problem of how to identify the nonlinear system is transformed to estimate the unknown parameter vector exists in the linear regression form.One penalty term about the unknown parameter vector is added in the cost function and the regularized least square method is applied to estimate the unknown parameter vector.When this basis function set is unknown, the constraint about prediction error is considered in the cost function.As to this constrain optimization problem, the optimal solution is solved from the primal-dual point and its bias is also analyzed.To avoid the priori information about the basis function, the multiply operation coming from the linear regression matrix is replaced by one kernel function defined in the least square support vector machine theory.Then the dual vector in the constrain optimization problem is denoted by this kernel function directly and further the formal nonlinear function can be also approximated by one weighted sum form which is consisted of the kernel function and dual vector.Finally the simulation example results confirm the effectiveness of approximating the nonlinear system based on kernel function from support vector machine theory.

    A novel two-stage guidance law based on the virtual target is proposed to improve the performance of multiple missiles for long-range and effective penetrations.The guidance process is divided into the midcourse guidance and terminal guidance by a set of virtual targets on the periphery of hostile defense systems.In the midcourse guidance stage, the design of guidance law with impact time and angle constraints is transformed to the optimal control problem, and the missiles are controlled to arrive at the virtual targets at given time and angle.The final states of the cooperative missiles at the virtual targets are selected as the initial parameters of the terminal guidance.In the second stage, the decentralized coordination algorithm is proposed on the basis of the impact time control and consensus theory.Numerical simulations demonstrate that the proposed two-stage guidance law is feasible and effective to achieve the salvo attack of multiple missiles satisfying impact time and angle constraints.

    In attacking the ships in coral island or reef area, there exist the disadvantages of complicated background and obstacles.Combination attack using multi-type Anti-Ship Missiles (ASMs) with different flight velocities, different trajectories and different guidance modes in multiple directions can improve the attack effect.Based on the influence of islands to missile path and target acquisition of radar seeker, and the angle required between adjacent missiles, an attacking angle coordination model is built up for coordinated attack of multi-type ASMs from multi-platform in attacking ships in coral island or reef area.The example shows that the model established can be taken as a theoretical reference for selecting reasonable angles for each missile.

    A semi-supervised, cluster-ensemble based method for the classification of multi/hyperspectral images is presented.Spectral clustering is a graph theory based clustering algorithm taking similarity as the basis, and has become increasingly popular in recent years.It can deal with arbitrary distribution of dataset but with a drawback for being sensitive to the scaling parameters.Cluster ensemble techniques are effective in improving both the robustness and the stability of the single clustering algorithm.Cluster ensemble also has a character of good robustness and generalization ability.The processing method in this paper utilizes the merits of cluster ensemble and develops a consensus function based spectral clustering algorthm.The clustering components are generated by spectral clustering.The affinity matrix is generated by computing the SAM between different datapoints.The Nystrm method is used to to speed up the classification process.Thus semi-supervised classification to multi/hyperspectral remote sensed data is completed.Experiments show that the method presented here has an excellent classificaation result for both multispectral and hyperspectral remote sensed dataset.

    Vector tracking is one of the key technologies in deep integration research.The traditional receiver tracking loop uses scalar tracking mode, under which the receiver loses satellite signals easily in high dynamic environment and suffers electromagnetic interference easily in weak signal environment.Centralized deep integration uses vector tracking algorithm.However, it is difficult to realize in engineering applications due to the highly nonlinear relationship between the measurements and state variables.Considering the above situation, a method of vector tracking algorithm suitable for cascaded deep integration is proposed.By analyzing the relationship between each tracking error and the discriminator output, a prefilter dynamic model is built up.The simulation results show that, compared with scalar tracking algorithm, the vector tracking algorithm based on prefilter has better tracking performance of code and carrier frequency in high dynamic environment.

    Fighter aircraft is the kernel part of information combat circumstance. The combat effectiveness of fighter aircraft depends more on the capability of information dominance than on the weapon's capability, thus it becomes difficult to evaluate the fighter aircraft's combat effectiveness. A method based on information dominance is brought forward for effectiveness evaluation of fighter aircraft in information warfare. An effectiveness evaluation model is established at first, which divides the whole combat process into four steps according to the application of information in the operational system, including battlefield early warning, battlefield reconnaissance, battlefield decision-making and weapon guidance. The state-transition matrix can express the change of the four states. Then, calculation formulas of information dominance capability in different steps are obtained by considering the operational capability, real-time performance and steal performance synthetically. And finally the operational effectiveness is obtained. The method can make quantitative evaluation to operational effectiveness of fighter aircrafts, and simulations show the validity of it.

    The angular glint error is the main error source for seeker homing guidance when targets are closing to the radar. It may make the radar point to the space outside the target scale. Therefore, in order to improve the accuracy of angle measurement and tracking, the angular glint must be suppressed effectively. This paper proposed a method with a rank detector preprocessor based on frequency agility and RCS amplitude weighting. When target echo signals are received, the radar can wipe off the echo pulses that may produce strong angular glint noise depending on the output of detector. Therefore, these pulses do not participate in the weighted angle measurement. The simulation experiment shows that the method has fine inhibition effect to angular glint.

    Dark current is one of the important factors that affect measurement accuracy of infrared detector, while the size and fluctuation of the dark current is mainly affected by the working temperature of the device.In order to meet the accuracy requirement of the temperature gradient and temperature control of device, we designed a high precision temperature control system by using two different control strategies including “limit slope” algorithm and incremental PID algorithm.Considering the operating characteristics of low voltage and large current of semiconductor cooler (TEC), we used a DC/DC convert to change the high voltage to low voltage, then used some transistors to control multi-channel TEC, in order to achieve the purpose of high conversion efficiency and get a “pure” output with low electrical noise.This temperature control system was applied to an InGaAs multi-channel detector.The result showed that:the detector temperature reached a stable state within specified time;and after entering the steady-state, temperature fluctuation ΔT is lessthan 0.02 ℃.The measurement accuracy of infrared detector can reach 0.2% as the temperature fluctuation ΔT is lessthan 0.2 ℃, so the design meets the requirement.
