Impact Time Control Cooperative Guidance Law Design Based on Modified Proportional Navigation
The paper proposes a two-dimensional impact time control cooperative guidance law under constant velocity and a three-dimensional impact time control cooperative guidance law under time-varying velocity, which can both improve the penetration ability and

Air defense planning for an area with the use of very short range air defense sets [PDF]
This paper presents a heuristic method of planning the deployment of very short-range anti-air missile and artillery sets (VSHORAD) around an area (‘protected area’) in order to protect it.

A comparison of penetration and damage caused by different types of arrowheads on loose and tight fit clothing [PDF]
Bows and arrows are used more for recreation, sport and hunting in the Western world and tend not to be as popular a weapon as firearms or knives. Yet there are still injuries and fatalities caused by these low-velocity weapons due to their availability ...

Further studies of the efficacy of military, commercial and novel skin decontaminants against the chemical warfare agents sulphur mustard, soman and VX [PDF]
Background/Aims: Following an incident involving toxic chemicals, deployment of countermeasures before the arrival of specialised services at the scene may provide a “therapeutic” window in which to mitigate skin absorption.

The percutaneous absorption of soman in a damaged skin porcine model and the evaluation of WoundStat™ as a topical decontaminant [PDF]
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate a candidate haemostat (WoundStat™), down-selected from previous in vitro studies, for efficacy as a potential skin decontaminant against the chemical warfare agent pinacoyl methylfluorophosphonate (Soman, GD)

Signal Measurement of Projectile Penetration Overload Based on Charge Sensor
In modern warfare, in order to destroy the target to largest extent, missile warhead is required to explode after penetrating inside the target, therefore, the measurement of mechanical signal during projectile penetration is critical. This paper studies
