The article presents an experiment performed in the MasaSword version 6.17.1 environment in evaluating the effectiveness of an attack on ground targets within a close air support mission to an opponent on the march or in a defensive position, or in an attack. The ground unit commander has performed an analysis of available firepower based on aerial reconnaissance and he decided to use the allocated aircraft with different types of ammunition. The key element is the effect of selected weapons and ammunition on the enemy's targets according to the required level of target elimination. The article also evaluates the possibilities offered by the use of MasaSword in the decision-making process of the commander when making decisions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It has turned out that the usage of non-lethal weapons is an effective way of tackling adversaries in many security scenarios. The security staff's goal is to use the lowest possible level of power needed to manage successfully the situation during the conflicts with adversaries. The security staff can employ a wide spectrum of possible reactions beginning with the voice alert through the physical interaction up to the usage of e.g. firearms. The optical incapacitating device is one of possible realizations of non-lethal weapons. Therefore, the article deals with the description of the designed optical incapacitating device and the evaluation of retina exposition when used. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article is focused on the calculation of defence structures' survival probability based on the Monte Carlo method. Besides, the blast resistance of defence structures is optimized due to the protection and expense requirements. The article also reviews properties of defence structures, characteristics of projectiles, and factors influencing on the structure's survival ability. To solve the problem, the computer simulation program has been developed and used for evaluating and optimizing the issue in various battle scenarios. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article deals with analysis of raw hyperspectral data conversion. There are mentioned some possible ways of data conversion and their comparison. The comparison is based on both the quality of conversion and the usability in military usage. The analysis is made on the real data taken from the experimental measurement. The quality of conversion is evaluated by matching the converted data with laboratory taken data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
