Countering short range ballistic missiles
ADA261056_Redacted.pdf (1.551Mb)Abstract
Concepts commonly found in ASW search are used to model the flow and detection of mobile launchers for short range ballistic missiles. Emphasis is on detection and destruction of the launcher before launch. The benefit of pre-hostility intelligence and pre-missile-launch prosecution, the backbone of successful ASW, is revealed through the analysis of a circulation model which reflects the standard operations of a third world mobile missile launcher during hostilities. A decision model is constructed and analyzed to give insight into the development of pre-hostility intelligence policies.

Detection of gamma-neutron radiation by solid-state scintillation detectors
(IEEE, 2015-07-01);It is known that solid-state scintillators can be used for detection of both gamma radiation and neutron flux. In the past, neutron detection efficiencies of such solid-state scintillators did not exceed 5-7%. At the same ... -
GEANT4 SIMULATION OF FAST NEUTRON INTERACTIONS IN HEAVY OXIDE SCINTILLATORS
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2019-09);Fast neutron detection is critical to the interdiction of illicit special nuclear material, among other potential applications. The use of heavy oxide scintillators to detect fast neutrons is one technology requiring little ... -
Search radar track-before-detect using the Hough transform
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1995-03);Detection of small targets in the presence of noise and sea clutter interference presents a formidable task in a radar system design. Conventional radar detection schemes, such as spectral discrimination and noncoherent ...
