Aerial Bombing Crater Identification: Exploitation of Precise Digital Terrain Models [PDF]
Places of past conflicts and persistent objects that reflect such events often attract the attention of archaeological prospection which facilitates the construction of conflict narratives. Field prospection as a precise method for localization of aerial

Flight Range Extension of a Guided Aerial Bomb with a Rocket Engine during Climb Bombing
The possibility of a significant flight range extension of a guided aerial bomb during climb bombing due to the jet thrust created by a solid-propellant rocket engine was considered. By means of simulation, a comparative analysis of the range of a guided aerial bomb equipped (not equipped) with a solid-propellant rocket engine under typical flight ...

World War II Aerial Bombings of Germany: Fear as Subject of National Socialist Governmental Practices [PDF]
This paper highlights how the National Socialist regime in Germany created the so-called «Selbstschutz» («self protection») in civil air defense as an «apparatus of society» (Michel Foucault) to educate the German population with regard to the new ...

Even more than 75 years after the Second World War, numerous unexploded bombs (duds) linger in the ground and pose a considerable hazard to society. The areas containing these duds are documented in so-called impact maps, which are based on locations of ...

SUPERVISED DETECTION OF BOMB CRATERS IN HISTORICAL AERIAL IMAGES USING CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORKS [PDF]
Abstract. The aftermath of the air strikes during World War II is still present today. Numerous bombs dropped by planes did not explode, still exist in the ground and pose a considerable explosion hazard. Tracking down these duds can be tackled by detecting bomb craters. The existence of a dud can be inferred from the existence of a crater.

MARKED POINT PROCESSES FOR THE AUTOMATIC DETECTION OF BOMB CRATERS IN AERIAL WARTIME IMAGES [PDF]
Abstract. Many countries were the target of air strikes during the Second World War. The aftermath of such attacks is felt until today, as numerous unexploded bombs or duds still exist in the ground. Typically, such areas are documented in so-called impact maps, which are based on detected bomb craters.

Simulation-Based Logic Bomb Identification and Verification for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
This chapter presents a novel methodology for detecting logic bombs hidden in unmanned aerial vehicle autopilot code without source code analysis by executing mission runs in a software-in-the-loop simulator and defining safe unmanned aerial vehicle operating areas.

The Threat of Aerial Bombing in World War Two Lagos, 1938–1943 [PDF]
Abstract The spectre of air bombing attacks on West African cities during World War Two remains an unexplored dimension of World War Two history. Lagos had long been perceived as vulnerable to attack from neighbouring Dahomey (Benin), and the Fall of France in June 1940 intensified these threats, while increasing anxiety concerning potential Axis ...

Influence of Drop Height on Impact Stresses in Aerial Bomb - A Numerical Study
Abstract A typical conventional aerial bomb is a streamlined cylinder with an outer casing, inner explosive material, a fuse to ignite the explosive filling, an arming mechanism for fuse and an optional tail unit. The outer casing is usually metallic with a pointed nose at the tip for better aerodynamic characteristics.
