Theses and Dissertations
THE BOMBER WILL ALWAYS GET THROUGH: THE ORIGIN OF THE B-21 STEALTH BOMBER
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2022-06)
The aim of this dissertation is to explain why and how the United States decided to build the B-21 stealth bomber. The B-21 Raider is the most recent endeavor to find a worthy successor (though not, strictly speaking, a ...
EXTENDING AND IMPROVING DESIGNS FOR LARGE-SCALE COMPUTER EXPERIMENTS
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2022-06)
This research develops methods that increase the inventory of space-filling designs (SFDs) for large-scale computer-based experiments. We present a technique enabling researchers to add sequential blocks of design points ...
Military Innovation in the Third Age of U.S. Unmanned Aviation, 1991–2015
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-06)
Military innovation studies have largely relied on monocausal accounts—rationalism, institutionalism,
or culture—to explain technologically innovative and adaptive outcomes in defense organizations. None of
these ...
MEDIA EFFECTS ON CYBER INTRUSIONS
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2021-03)
In this current hyperconnected era, many could argue that multifaced daily news events, arranged into univocal storylines, generate effects well beyond the media environment. Empirically speaking, most explorations of media ...
TECHNOLOGY TRUST: THE IMPACT OF ANTHROPOMORPHIC SYSTEM INFORMATION ON THE ACCEPTANCE OF AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS USED IN HIGH-RISK APPLICATIONS
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2021-03)
Autonomous systems provide the military with advanced capabilities permitting the execution of increasingly dangerous and difficult missions. A human in the loop is still required to decide how and when to deploy these ...
ADVERSARIAL MACHINE LEARNING FOR PHYSICAL-LAYER AUTHENTICATION
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2021-06)
In this dissertation, we propose the use of adversarial machine learning to characterize wireless radio transmitters for the purpose of physical-layer authentication. Wireless communication systems are quickly evolving to ...
DESIGN OF A TAILORABLE PHYSICAL LAYER SECURITY FRAMEWORK INCLUDING ALTERNATING SPACE-TIME CODING AND GRAY CODE HOPPING
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2021-06)
A physical layer security framework is developed that may be tailored to a particular wireless communications link. Alternating space-time coding and Gray code hopping techniques are presented that may be implemented ...
Model-based human systems integration
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2020-06)
The practice of Human Systems Integration (HSI) is a multi-domain activity residing at the confluence of
several disciplines. HSI currently lacks an accepted unifying theoretical perspective that joins HSI domain
resources ...
Network anomaly detection with stable distributions
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2018-03)
Network anomaly detection must be automated to meet requirements for real-time, accurate monitoring in the face of exponentially growing traffic volumes; however, this accuracy is often reduced when Gaussian methods are ...
ERROR CORRECTION CODE-BASED EMBEDDING IN ADAPTIVE RATE WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2019-09)
In this dissertation, we investigated the methods for development of embedded channels within error
correction mechanisms utilized to support adaptive rate communication systems. We developed an error
correction ...
