In order to enhance the detection performance of array radar under mainlobe interference,this paper proposes a method of radar anti-mainlobe interference based on fractional domain filtering,which can effectively suppress the mainlobe interferences.The proposed method searches for the mainlobe interference in the fractional domain by using fractional Fourier transform,determines the position of interference based on its peak values.The interference is then filtered in the fractional domain,and the echo signal is further processed by a blocking matrix to better eliminate the mainlobe interference.Simulation experiments validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

    To address the issues of large computation scale and low efficiency of multi-UAV cooperative planning,a Partheno-/Bi-Parent Genetic Algorithm (PBGA) solving model is proposed.This algorithm features an improved encoding method and a single-double parent combined evolutionary strategy.The population evolution is carried out by a partheno-genetic operator,while the bi-parent genetic operator helps to escape from local optima.Simulation results demonstrate the convergence of PBGA.In small-scale and large-scale optimization scenarios,PBGA reduces the convergence iterations by 70% and 64% respectively compared with the traditional genetic algorithm.This approach holds significant reference value for addressing multi-UAV cooperative problems.

    Aiming at the problems of low search efficiency,long path and too many turning points in the three-dimensional path planning process of bidirectional RRT algorithm,an improved bidirectional RRT algorithm is proposed on the basis of bidirectional RRT algorithm.The improved bidirectional RRT algorithm is extended from the starting point and the end point at the same time,and a new target bias sampling strategy and dynamic step size strategy are introduced to make the random tree sampling have target directedness,which solves the problem that the original algorithm is too random.The node pruning strategy is used to optimize the generated path and delete the redundant nodes in the path.The B-spline curve is used to smooth the path after pruning optimization.The simulation results show that the improved algorithm can generate a smooth path that satisfies the UAV performance constraints in a three-dimensional environment,which can effectively shorten the path length and improve the path planning speed.

    With the development of information technology in aviation industry,air traffic control system is facing the threat of various network attacks.ADS-B has the security problem of being attacked by the network because of its data transmission mode of plaintext broadcast.According to the whole flight operation process of Waiting for landing-Landing-Parking-Queuing for takeoff-Departure (WLPQD),a WLPQD dynamic discrete queuing model is established.The model introduces such parameters as system redundancy and processing speed to simulate the attack scenario.The impact of airport flight delay propagation is studied through the indicators such as the number of affected aircrafts and delayed time.The model shows the delay propagation caused by ADS-B deception attack on landing and take-off flights,and two attack mitigation strategies are proposed.The results show that:1) The stronger the attacking intensity,the severer the delayed flight;2) Both the processing speed improvements on the “ghost aircrafts” and the legal aircrafts are helpful for enhancing the invulnerability of airport system,and the former is more efficient.The research provides a new method for airport system to resist network attacks and enhance invulnerability.

    Target location distribution model is established to describe two common situations of the submarine in on-call search,including random motion and known approximate course.Aiming at the problem that it is difficult for the Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) to describe accurately the target motion status in on-call submarine searching,a target motion model is established based on hidden Markov Model (HMM).It can then update the probability distribution of the target in real time when the target initial probability distribution,transition probability and the detection result are known.The other problem in submarine searching is that the traditional submarine searching methods may not get the largest detection probability in limited time.A submarine searching path planning method based on improved Genetic Algorithm (GA) is designed for the UUV,which adds delete and insert operations on the basis of the traditional GA operations to guarantee connectivity of the search path.Whats more,the elite reservation operation is designed to ensure the fast convergence of the algorithm.The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through the comparison with such common searching methods as extended position searching,patrol line searching and random searching in simulation experiments.

    Aiming at removal of Gaussian noise from color images,a Multi-Channel (MC) optimization model for color image denoising is proposed in the framework of Weighted Nuclear Norm Minimization (WNNM).First,multiple types of noise computation are selected,RGB patches are connected by using the redundancy property of the channels.Then,a weight matrix is introduced to reconcile the image fidelity of the three channels.The given MC-WNNM model is converted into a linear equation constrained phenomenon and is solved by using the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM).Each variable update step has its own closed solution and convergence is guaranteed.Simulation experiments based on real color images for UAV target identification with added noise show that the method has significant advantages over the existing BM3D and WNNM methods.

    Considering the low small-target detection accuracy, dense targets and various scale patterns in remote sensing image target detection, small-scale and the higher-scale intermediate information is added to the feature fusion of the weighted Bi-directional Feature Pyramid Network (BiFPN) based on the lightweight network EfficientDet-D0 target detection algorithm, which reconstructs the BiFPN network, makes full use of different scale information, and improves the multi-scale target detection accuracy.At the same time, a feature enhancement module fusing dilated convolution with fast normalized fusion is added in the BiFPN to further improve the detection accuracy.In addition, the Dynamic ReLU activation function with dynamic parameters is used to improve the static Swish activation function in the original network.Without affecting the lightweight feature, the improved EfficientDet algorithm improves the mAP of target detection for public dataset Pascal VOC by 11.90 percentage points in comparison with the original algorithm, which is also better than that of other target detection algorithms.For the remote sensing image dataset RSOD, the existing 936 remote sensing image datasets are augmented by Imgaug data augmentation library, and the migration learning is performed by using the improved model.The target detection result is respectively 88.38% and 96.78% before and after data augmentation, which proves that the proposed method can meet the target detection requirement of remote sensing image in practical applications.

    Radio Frequency (RF) stealth radar can improve the electronic defense capability of radars fundamentally,which is a research hotspot of current aviation equipment,and the key of it is the design of RF stealth signal.Anti-sorting signal is an important RF stealth signal,and the design method of anti-sorting signal is one of the difficult points in RF stealth signal design.By analyzing Sequential Difference Histogram (SDIF) sorting algorithm,the main sorting algorithm of Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) and other real-time electronic reconnaissance equipment,the failure principle of Pulse Repetition Interval (PRI) estimation error is pointed out when PRI signal changes rapidly in a large range.Then,an anti-sorting signal design method for RF stealth radar based on pulse group agility is proposed.In other words,through PRI stride agility of pulse group signal,the main sorting algorithm output of RWR and other real-time broadband electronic reconnaissance equipment may produce large error or even complete error.Simulation and experiment prove that the signal designed based on the above method can effectively counter RWR main sorting algorithm,and the objective of radar anti-sorting is achieved.

    A remote sensing image change detection method based on multi-scale feature cross-fusion is proposed to address the issues of missed detections and false alarms for small targets,as well as insufficient segmentation of fine details in traditional change detection methods.The method adopts an encoder-decoder structure with the introduction of Multi-Scale Feature Fusion (MSFF) module and Multi-Scale Attention (MSA) mechanism between the encoder and decoder.The former is used to aggregate information from different scales,while the latter captures differences and correlations between different scales.A Refinement Output (RO) module is introduced at the end of the encoder,using parallel convolutions with dilation and atrous convolutions to further refine the fine details and reduce edge information loss.Experimental results on the LEVIR-CD dataset demonstrate that the proposed method can effectively identify small targets while preserving fine details,leading to significant improvements in accuracy,F1 score,intersection-over-union,and overall accuracy.
