    The characteristics of the ocean background and the ship target in high-resolution SAR images were analyzed. A two-stage fast detection algorithm for ship target detection in high-resolution SAR images was proposed. At the first stage, an improved spectral residual visual salience calculation model was used to quickly obtain the visual region of interest. At the second stage of the detection, we designed a local maximum posteriori probability classifier for pixel classification based on Bayesian theory in binary hypothesis testing. After the parameter estimation, the criterion was completed and the pixels in the significant region were divided into two categories to achieve the target detection. Experiments were carried out using Terra-SAR-X and a large amount of military satellite data. The results showed that the proposed algorithm has good detection performance and is more in line with the application requirements of the actual high-resolution image ship target detection. By comparison with the conventional detection algorithm, it showed that: the algorithm proposed in this paper can not only reduce the false alarm caused by speckle noise, but also improve the detection speed by 25 percent to even 50 percent.

    Aiming at the shortcoming of the singular optimization objective in the general research of the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) multi-target cooperative tracking, a new multi-target coupling cooperative task allocation method based on Q learning is proposed. A cluster merging method is used to solve the competition conflict problem in task allocation in the case of multi-target coupling. Firstly, Q learning method is used to select the optimal time for merging clusters at the stage of multi-target encountering. At the same time, the suitable Q learning function and return function are found out, and the most suitable switching scheme of the cluster head for the stage of target parallel moving is obtained. Then, under the premise of ensuring sufficient remaining energy, the schemes to select the optimal cluster heads and cluster members of different stages are given by using the information utility function and the number of the smallest cluster members. Finally, the target information is separated according to the target tag. The simulation results show that the algorithm can optimize the multi-target coupling, which can satisfy the demand for tracking precision, and has the advantage of reducing the system energy consumption and prolonging the life cycle of the network.

    As a main countermeasure mode for the UAV remote control link, the full time, broadband, suppressive electromagnetic jamming may waste jamming energy and have impact on the environment. Follower jamming and the turn-on strategy generated based on its jamming range can solve the problem effectively. In this paper, the follower jamming hyperbolic and the limited power jamming range inequation are conducted based on the time domain and power conditions of the follower jamming to the UAV remote control link. Accordingly, the effective jamming ranges under different parameters are confirmed and a reasonable jamming turn-on strategy is put forward. The simulation results show that the strategy can meet the changes of the parameters well, which is of great significance for improving the effectiveness of electromagnetic jamming.

    The goodness-of-fit test is often used to select the clutter distribution model, but it cannot solve the problems of overfitting and the multi-model optimization. In this paper, a new method based on Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) is proposed for clutter model selection, and the Reverberation Chamber (RC) is taken as the simulator of the radar clutter environment. The electromagnetic environment with a time domain fluctuation of the electric field the same as the clutter distribution is synthesized in the cavity by changing the settings of RC. The measured data is analyzed by using KS test and BIC. The results show the BIC method makes up for the deficiency of goodness-of-fit tests, and can be used to select the optimal distribution from several candidate distributions. In under-moded (low frequency) conditions of the RC, a clutter with Weibull distribution is synthesized in the RC;in over-moded (high frequency) conditions of the RC, a clutter with Rayleigh distribution will be synthesized.

    As an aircraft with special configuration, the tilt tri-rotor UAV combines the advantages of helicopters and fixed-wing aircrafts and has the operating modes of the two at the same time. Whereas, the engine nacelle should be controlled in the transitional mode, which brings the problem of manipulation redundancy, and neither manipulation approach is fit for use alone. In order to solve the problem of aircraft manipulating redundancy of the tilt tri-rotor UAV in the process of nacelle tilting in the transitional mode, an appropriate dynamic model of the tilt tri-rotor in the transitional mode is built, and a new tilting control method based on fuzzy control is proposed. Through the experimental analysis and the comparison with the traditional manipulation strategy of the tilt rotor aircraft in the transitional mode, it is found that this method can solve the problem of longitudinal height control of the tilt tri-rotor UAV in the transitional mode, so that the tilt tri-rotor UAV can implement a smooth and efficient flight in the transitional mode.

    Feature extraction and feature matching are two key steps in SAR target recognition. A method for SAR target recognition based on the matching of target regions is proposed. First, the binary target region of SAR image is extracted, which is then compared with the corresponding target region in the template base to produce the residual image. Euclidean distance transform is used to process the residual image, and the processed image is used for constructing a similarity criterion. The matching rate of the image to be identified with each type of target is then calculated out, and the type of target is judged according to the principle of the maximum matching rate. The target region residual can reflect the physical difference of the target to be identified with the other types of targets, and thus we can calculate the matching rate by use of the area and shape distribution of the residual. The change of Euclidean distance can reflect the shape distribution of the target region residual, and the residual based on the Euclidean distance transform can better reflect the matching rate of the target region. Target recognition test was carried out by using MSTAR dataset, and the result verifies the effectiveness of the method.

    The typical combat modes of two-fighter cooperation for Air-to-Air Missile (AAM) guidance in target attacking are summarized, and the key realization process of two of the most important cooperative modes is discussed. A contrastive analysis is made to the target indication models of the cooperative launching/guidance and the single-fighter launching/guidance. It is shown that the target indication error in the situation of cooperative guidance is increased. The realization of cooperative guidance is at the expense of some guidance precision, but it can greatly improve the operational efficiency of the fighter planes at the same time.

    The kind of kHz and high-energy pulse laser light source with narrow pulse width has broad prospect in the field of laser ranging. A high-energy, narrow-pulse-width and kHz Q-switching solid laser was designed based on the theory of electro-optical crystal Q-switching and narrow pulse width. A pumping configuration applicable for the high-duty-ratio and high-power LD end face was used in the experiment. The pumping light was focused on the operation material by using the prism coupling system, of which the maximum light conversion rate reached 27%. High-repetition-frequency electro-optical Q-switching effects was made by using RTP crystal and KD*P crystal respectively. With almost the same static input, KD*P crystal Q-switching obtained the dynamic energy output of 11 mJ, while the dynamic energy of RTP crystal was only 5. 64mJ. Under the conditions of optimum pumping power, the dynamic-to-static ratio of KD*P crystal was close to 80%, while the dynamic-to-static ratio of RTP crystal was close to 40%. Finally, by changing the length of the resonant cavity, the feasibility of the short cavity method to achieve the narrow-pulse-width laser output was verified. The narrow-pulse-width laser output of 5. 76ns was obtained for the physical cavity length of 60 mm.
