As joint operations have become a key trend in modern military development, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) play an increasingly important role in enhancing the intelligence and responsiveness of combat systems. However, the heterogeneity of aircraft, partial observability, and dynamic uncertainty in operational airspace pose significant challenges to autonomous collision avoidance using traditional methods. To address these issues, this paper proposes an adaptive collision avoidance approach for UAVs based on deep reinforcement learning. First, a unified uncertainty model incorporating dynamic wind fields is constructed to capture the complexity of joint operational environments. Then, to effectively handle the heterogeneity between manned and unmanned aircraft and the limitations of dynamic observations, a sector-based partial observation mechanism is designed. A Dynamic Threat Prioritization Assessment algorithm is also proposed to evaluate potential collision threats from multiple dimensions, including time to closest approach, minimum separation distance, and aircraft type. Furthermore, a Hierarchical Prioritized Experience Replay (HPER) mechanism is introduced, which classifies experience samples into high, medium, and low priority levels to preferentially sample critical experiences, thereby improving learning efficiency and accelerating policy convergence. Simulation results show that the proposed HPER-D3QN algorithm outperforms existing methods in terms of learning speed, environmental adaptability, and robustness, significantly enhancing collision avoidance performance and convergence rate. Finally, transfer experiments on a high-fidelity battlefield airspace simulation platform validate the proposed method's deployment potential and practical applicability in complex, real-world joint operational scenarios.
联合作战已成为现代军事发展的重要趋势,无人机在提高作战系统的智能化和响应能力方面发挥着越来越重要的作用。然而,飞机的异质性、部分可观测性和作战空域的动态不确定性给传统的自动避碰方法带来了重大挑战。为了解决这些问题,本文提出了一种基于深度强化学习的无人机自适应避碰方法。首先,建立了包含动态风场的统一不确定性模型,以捕捉联合作战环境的复杂性。然后,为有效处理有人驾驶和无人驾驶飞机之间的异质性和动态观测的局限性,设计了基于扇区的局部观测机制。提出了一种动态威胁优先级评估算法,从最接近时间、最小分离距离和飞机类型等多个维度评估潜在的碰撞威胁。引入层次优先体验重放(HPER)机制,将经验样本分为高、中、低三个优先级,对关键经验进行优先采样,提高学习效率,加速策略收敛。仿真结果表明,本文提出的HPER-D3QN算法在学习速度、环境适应性和鲁棒性方面均优于现有算法,显著提高了避撞性能和收敛速度。最后,在高保真战场空域仿真平台上进行了转移实验,验证了该方法在复杂的真实联合作战场景中的部署潜力和实际适用性。

This paper aims to explore and quantify the nonlinear vibration response of tri-directional functionally graded sandwich (3D-FGSW) plates partially supported by a Pasternak foundation (PF) subjected to blast loading (BL). A key objective is to develop a computationally efficient finite element framework capable of accurately capturing the complex behavior of 3D-FGSW plates. The studied configuration features a two-dimensional functionally graded material (2D-FGM) core between two three-dimensional functionally graded material (3D-FGM) face layers. Nonlinear geometric effects, including mid-plane stretching, are modeled using von Kármán-type assumptions, and the governing equations are formulated via Hamilton's principle within an improved first-order shear deformation theory (iFSDT). The accuracy and computational efficiency of the proposed method are validated through comparison with existing benchmark solutions. Subsequently, a comprehensive parametric study is carried out to examine the effects of geometric dimensions, material properties, foundation sizes, and boundary conditions (BCs) on the nonlinear vibration of 3D-FGSW plates. The findings of this work are expected to provide valuable insights for the design and manufacturing of advanced sandwich structures subjected to BL.

Hypersonic morphing vehicle (HMV) can reconfigure aerodynamic geometries in real time, adapting to diverse needs like multi-mission profiles and wide-speed-range flight, spanwise morphing and sweep angle variation are representative large-scale wing reconfiguration modes. To meet the HMV's need for an increased lift and a lift to drag ratio during hypersonic maneuverability and cruise or reentry equilibrium glide, this paper proposes an innovative single-DOF coupled morphing-wing system. We then systematically analyze its open-loop kinematics and closed-loop connectivity constraints, and the proposed system integrates three functional modules: the preset locking/release mechanism, the coupled morphing-wing mechanism, and the integrated wing locking with active stiffness control mechanism. Experimental validation confirms stable, continuous morphing under simulated aerodynamic loads. The experimental results indicate: (i) SMA actuators exhibit response times ranging from 18 s to 160 s, providing sufficient force output for wing unlocking; (ii) The integrated wing locking with active stiffness control mechanism effectively secures wing positions while eliminating airframe clearance via SMA actuation, improving the first-order natural frequency by more than 17%; (iii) The distributed aerodynamic loading system enables precise multi-stage follow-up loading during morphing, with the coupled morphing wing maintaining stable, continuous operation under 0–3500 N normal loads and 110–140 N axial force. The proposed single-DOF coupled morphing mechanism not only simplifies and improves structural efficiency but also demonstrates superior performance in locking control, stiffness enhancement, and aerodynamic responsiveness. This establishes a foundational framework for the design of future intelligent morphing configurations and the implementation of flight control systems.
高超声速变形飞行器(HMV)能够实时重构气动几何形状,适应多任务剖面和大航速范围飞行等多种需求,展向变形和后掠角变化是典型的大规模机翼重构模式。为了满足HMV在高超声速机动和巡航或再入平衡滑翔过程中对升力和升阻比的要求,本文提出了一种创新的单自由度耦合变形翼系统。在此基础上,系统分析了该系统的开环运动学约束和闭环连接约束,并将该系统集成了三个功能模块:预设锁定/释放机构、变形-机翼耦合机构和机翼锁定与主动刚度控制集成机构。实验验证证实了在模拟气动载荷下的稳定、连续变形。实验结果表明:(1)SMA致动器的响应时间为18 ~ 160 s,为机翼解锁提供了足够的力输出;(ii)带有主动刚度控制机构的一体化机翼锁定有效地保证了机翼位置,同时通过SMA驱动消除了机身间隙,一阶固有频率提高了17%以上;(iii)分布式气动加载系统可实现变形过程中精确的多级后续加载,耦合变形翼在0-3500 N法向载荷和110-140 N轴向力下保持稳定连续运行。所提出的单自由度耦合变形机构不仅简化了结构,提高了结构效率,而且在锁紧控制、刚度增强和气动响应性方面表现出优异的性能。这为未来智能变形构型的设计和飞行控制系统的实现奠定了基础框架。

Electrically controlled solid propellant (ECSP) offers multiple ignition and adjustable burning rate, serving as fuel for next-generation intelligent propulsion systems. To further enhance the combustion performance of ECSP, a method utilizing electrochemical and thermal decomposition catalysts has been proposed. In this work, we investigated the combustion characteristics of hydroxylamine nitrate (HAN)-based ECSP incorporating cerium oxide (CeO2) and graphene oxide (GO) by using an electrically controlled combustion test system. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) were used to measure the electrical conductibility and overpotential of ECSP with various additives, and Tafel curves were calculated. Thermogravimetric analysis coupled with differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC) was employed to investigate the thermal decomposition behavior of ECSP. While the addition of CeO2 and GO reduced the conductivity of ECSP, both catalysts exhibited strong electrocatalytic properties and facilitated the thermal decomposition of ECSP. Between two catalysts, GO demonstrated superior electrochemical catalytic performance but weaker thermal decomposition catalytic ability than CeO2. The addition of catalysts significantly enhanced the combustion performance of HAN-based ECSP. Specifically, the ignition delay time was shortened by 10%∼20%. CeO2 raised the burning rate by approximately 20% but GO exhibited a remarkable boost of 40% in burning rate at high voltage. The combination of GO and PVA produced a flame-retardant substance that negatively impacted the ignition delay of ECSP and resulted in a smaller increase in the burning rate of ECSP at low ignition voltages.
电控固体推进剂(ECSP)提供多重点火和可调燃烧速率,可作为下一代智能推进系统的燃料。为了进一步提高ECSP的燃烧性能,提出了一种利用电化学和热分解催化剂的方法。在这项工作中,我们通过电控燃烧测试系统研究了含有氧化铈(CeO2)和氧化石墨烯(GO)的硝酸羟胺(HAN)基ECSP的燃烧特性。采用电化学阻抗谱(EIS)和线性扫描伏安法(LSV)测定了不同添加剂下ECSP的电导率和过电位,并计算了Tafel曲线。采用热重联用差示扫描量热法(TG-DSC)研究了ECSP的热分解行为。CeO2和GO的加入降低了ECSP的电导率,但两种催化剂均表现出较强的电催化性能,有利于ECSP的热分解。在两种催化剂之间,GO的电化学催化性能优于CeO2,但热分解催化能力弱于CeO2。催化剂的加入显著提高了汉基ECSP的燃烧性能。具体来说,点火延迟时间缩短了10% ~ 20%。CeO2使燃烧速率提高了约20%,而GO在高压下的燃烧速率提高了40%。氧化石墨烯和聚乙烯醇的结合产生了一种阻燃物质,对ECSP的点火延迟产生了负面影响,在低点火电压下,ECSP的燃烧速率增加幅度较小。

Flexible materials play a crucial role in protecting against behind armour blunt trauma (BABT). However, their compliance complicates the understanding of failure mechanisms and energy absorption. This study used a combined experimental and numerical approach to investigate the response and failure modes of a flexible ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) foam protective sandwich structure (UFPSS) under low-velocity impact (LVI). A finite element (FE) model, accounting for nonlinear large deformation and strain-rate-dependent material behavior, was developed for a woven-UFPSS (featuring a plain-woven fabric structure) subjected to a 50 J impact. Experimental and numerical results showed strong agreement in peak force (error < 5%), maximum displacement (error < 6%), and buffer time (error < 8%). The impact's kinetic energy was mainly converted into internal energy of the fabric and foam materials (∼50%), viscous dissipation in the foam core (12%–15%), frictional work at the contact interfaces (5%–6%), and work by the pneumatic fixture clamping force (∼38%). This study provides the first investigation of the LVI performance of sandwich structures with all soft material layers, offering significant insights for the application of compliant materials in protective fields.
柔性材料在装甲钝性损伤防护中起着至关重要的作用。然而,它们的顺应性使对失效机制和能量吸收的理解复杂化。采用实验与数值相结合的方法,研究了柔性超高分子量聚乙烯(UHMWPE)泡沫保护夹层结构(UFPSS)在低速碰撞(LVI)下的响应与破坏模式。针对50 J的冲击,建立了考虑非线性大变形和应变率相关材料行为的有限元(FE)模型。实验和数值结果表明,峰值力(误差<; 5%)、最大位移(误差<; 6%)和缓冲时间(误差<; 8%)具有很强的一致性。冲击的动能主要转化为织物和泡沫材料的内能(~ 50%)、泡沫芯中的粘性耗散(12% ~ 15%)、接触界面处的摩擦功(5% ~ 6%)和气动夹具夹紧力的功(~ 38%)。本研究首次对全软质材料层夹层结构的LVI性能进行了研究,为柔性材料在防护领域的应用提供了重要的见解。

Cascading failures pose a serious threat to the survivability of underwater unmanned swarm networks (UUSNs), significantly limiting their service ability in collaborative missions such as military reconnaissance and environmental monitoring. Existing failure models primarily focus on power grids and traffic systems, and don't address the unique challenges of weak-communication UUSNs. In UUSNs, cascading failure present a complex and dynamic process driven by the coupling of unstable acoustic channels, passive node drift, adversarial attacks, and network heterogeneity. To address these challenges, a directed weighted graph model of UUSNs is first developed, in which node positions are updated according to ocean-current–driven drift and link weights reflect the probability of successful acoustic transmission. Building on this UUSNs graph model, a cascading failure model is proposed that integrates a normal–failure–recovery state-cycle mechanism, multiple attack strategies, and routing-based load redistribution. Finally, under a five-level connectivity UUSNs scheme, simulations are conducted to analyze how dynamic topology, network load, node recovery delay, and attack modes jointly affect network survivability. The main findings are: (1) moderate node drift can improve survivability by activating weak links; (2) based-energy routing (BER) outperform based-depth routing (BDR) in harsh conditions; (3) node self-recovery time is critical to network survivability; (4) traditional degree-based critical node metrics are inadequate for weak-communication UUSNs. These results provide a theoretical foundation for designing robust survivability mechanisms in weak-communication UUSNs.
级联故障严重威胁着水下无人群网络(UUSNs)的生存能力,极大地限制了其在军事侦察和环境监测等协同任务中的服务能力。现有的故障模型主要集中在电网和交通系统上,并没有解决弱通信usn的独特挑战。在uusn中,级联故障是一个复杂的动态过程,由不稳定的声学通道、被动节点漂移、对抗性攻击和网络异质性耦合驱动。为了解决这些挑战,首先开发了uusn的有向加权图模型,其中节点位置根据洋流驱动的漂移更新,链路权重反映了声波成功传输的概率。在此UUSNs图模型的基础上,提出了一种级联故障模型,该模型集成了正常-故障-恢复状态循环机制、多种攻击策略和基于路由的负载重新分配。最后,在五级连接UUSNs方案下,通过仿真分析动态拓扑、网络负载、节点恢复延迟和攻击方式对网络生存能力的共同影响。研究结果表明:(1)适度的节点漂移可以通过激活薄弱环节来提高生存能力;(2)在恶劣条件下,基于能量路由(BER)优于基于深度路由(BDR);(3)节点自恢复时间对网络生存能力至关重要;(4)传统的基于度的关键节点指标不适用于弱通信usn。这些结果为设计弱通信uusn的鲁棒生存机制提供了理论基础。

These results provide a theoretical foundation for designing robust survivability mechanisms in weak-communication UUSNs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":58209,"journal":{"name":"Defence Technology(防务技术)","volume":"56 ","pages":"Pages 66-82"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146116733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

War rehearsals have become increasingly important in national security due to the growing complexity of international affairs. However, traditional rehearsal methods, such as military chess simulations, are inefficient and inflexible, with particularly pronounced limitations in command and decision-making. The overwhelming volume of information and high decision complexity hinder the realization of autonomous and agile command and control. To address this challenge, an intelligent warfare simulation framework named Command-Agent is proposed, which deeply integrates large language models (LLMs) with digital twin battlefields. By constructing a highly realistic battlefield environment through real-time simulation and multi-source data fusion, the natural language interaction capabilities of LLMs are leveraged to lower the command threshold and to enable autonomous command through the Observe–Orient–Decide–Act (OODA) feedback loop. Within the Command-Agent framework, a multi-model collaborative architecture is further adopted to decouple the decision-generation and command-execution functions of LLMs. By combining specialized models such as DeepSeek-R1 and MCTool, the limitations of single-model capabilities are overcome. MCTool is a lightweight execution model fine-tuned for military Function Calling tasks. The framework also introduces a Vector Knowledge Base to mitigate hallucinations commonly exhibited by LLMs. Experimental results demonstrate that Command-Agent not only enables natural language-driven simulation and control but also deeply understands commander intent. Leveraging the multi-model collaborative architecture, during red-blue UAV confrontations involving 2 to 8 UAVs, the integrated score is improved by an average of 41.8% compared to the single-agent system (MCTool), accompanied by a 161.8% optimization in the battle loss ratio. Furthermore, when compared with multi-agent systems lacking the knowledge base, the inclusion of the Vector Knowledge Base further improves overall performance by 16.8%. In comparison with the general model (Qwen2.5–7B), the fine-tuned MCTool leads by 5% in execution efficiency. Therefore, the proposed Command-Agent introduces a novel perspective to the military command system and offers a feasible solution for intelligent battlefield decision-making.
随着国际事务的日益复杂,军事演习在国家安全中的重要性日益凸显。然而,传统的演练方法,如军事象棋模拟,效率低下,缺乏灵活性,在指挥和决策方面有特别明显的局限性。海量的信息和高决策复杂性阻碍了自主敏捷指挥控制的实现。为了应对这一挑战,提出了一种名为Command-Agent的智能战争仿真框架,该框架将大型语言模型(llm)与数字孪生战场深度集成。通过实时仿真和多源数据融合构建高度逼真的战场环境,利用llm的自然语言交互能力降低指挥阈值,并通过观察-定向-决定-行动(OODA)反馈回路实现自主指挥。在命令代理框架内,进一步采用多模型协同架构,将llm的决策生成和命令执行功能解耦。通过结合DeepSeek-R1和MCTool等专业模型,克服了单一模型能力的局限性。MCTool是一种轻量级的执行模型,专为军事函数调用任务进行了微调。该框架还引入了一个矢量知识库,以减轻法学硕士通常表现出的幻觉。实验结果表明,Command-Agent不仅能够实现自然语言驱动的仿真和控制,而且能够深刻理解指挥官的意图。利用多模型协同架构,在2 ~ 8架无人机的红蓝无人机对抗中,综合得分比单智能体系统(MCTool)平均提高41.8%,战损率优化161.8%。此外,与缺乏知识库的多智能体系统相比,向量知识库的加入进一步提高了整体性能16.8%。与通用模型(Qwen2.5-7B)相比,经过微调的MCTool的执行效率提高了5%。因此,该方法为军事指挥系统引入了一种新的视角,为战场智能决策提供了一种可行的解决方案。

The highly dynamic nature, strong uncertainty, and coupled multiple safety constraints inherent in carrier aircraft recovery operations pose severe challenges for real-time decision-making. Addressing bolter scenarios, this study proposes an intelligent decision-making framework based on a deep long short-term memory Q-network. This framework transforms the real-time sequencing for bolter recovery problem into a partially observable Markov decision process. It employs a stacked long short-term memory network to accurately capture the long-range temporal dependencies of bolter event chains and fuel consumption. Furthermore, it integrates a prioritized experience replay training mechanism to construct a safe and adaptive scheduling system capable of millisecond-level real-time decision-making. Experimental demonstrates that, within large-scale mass recovery scenarios, the framework achieves zero safety violations in static environments and maintains a fuel safety violation rate below 10% in dynamic scenarios, with single-step decision times at the millisecond level. The model exhibits strong generalization capability, effectively responding to unforeseen emergent situations—such as multiple bolters and fuel emergencies—without requiring retraining. This provides robust support for efficient carrier-based aircraft recovery operations.
舰载机回收作业的高动态性、强不确定性以及耦合的多重安全约束对实时决策提出了严峻挑战。本研究提出了一种基于深度长短期记忆q网络的智能决策框架。该框架将锚杆回收问题的实时排序转化为部分可观察的马尔可夫决策过程。它采用堆叠的长短期记忆网络来准确捕获螺栓事件链和燃料消耗的长期时间依赖性。并集成了优先级的经验重播训练机制,构建了安全、自适应的调度系统,能够进行毫秒级的实时决策。实验表明,在大规模质量回收场景下,该框架在静态环境下实现零安全违规,在动态场景下将燃料安全违规率保持在10%以下,单步决策时间为毫秒级。该模型显示出强大的泛化能力,能够有效地响应不可预见的紧急情况,如多个螺栓和燃料紧急情况,而无需再培训。这为有效的舰载飞机回收作业提供了强有力的支持。

The interfacial structure and its regulation play a crucial role in determining the overall performance of advanced functional composites. Weak interfacial interactions between carbon fibers and the matrix present a critical challenge limiting the general performance and functional applications of carbon fiber-reinforced composites. In this paper, a novel strategy for bioinspired root-soil interfacial structure was presented to enhance the mechanical properties of polymer bonded explosives. A multiscale nanowire heterostructure was constructed through the in-situ growth of morphologically controllable zinc oxide nanowires on the carbon fiber surface via a facile hydrothermal method, with polydopamine as the interfacial reinforcement layer. This structure emulated the function of the "root", and combined with a network-distributed polymer binder representing the "soil", formed a robust root-soil interlocking interfacial structure within the polymer bonded explosives. Due to the multiscale interfacial reinforcement structure, the tensile strength of the polymer bonded explosives was visibly increased by 41%, the strain at the break by 110%, and the creep resistance by 51% with only 0.4 wt% filler adopted. The thermal stress resistance was improved by 57% owing to the synergistic enhancement of thermal conductivity and mechanical properties. This study provides new perspectives and insights for designing and constructing high-performance polymer bonded explosives and other functional composites.

Rheological behaviors of step ladder-structured nitrocellulose in solution and gelatinization process 阶梯状结构硝化纤维素在溶液中的流变行为及糊化过程

Step ladder-structured nitrocellulose (LNC) is a novel energetic binder prepared by chemically modifying nitrocellulose (NC) with the introduction of flexible polyethylene glycol (PEG-400) chain segments, with a regular structure and good performance of bonding. The step ladder-structured addresses critical limitations of NC-based propellants, including low-temperature brittleness and high sensitivity, while enhancing process safety. Although the structural, thermal, and other properties of LNC have been investigated in our previous research, there is a lack of systematic studies on the rheological properties during solution and gelatinization. The study of the relationship between the structural features and rheological properties of LNC is a key factor in guiding its gelatinization and improving the properties of LNC-based propellants. Steady-state rheology flow experiments revealed that LNC exhibited shear thinning in different solutions, which decreased with increasing concentration. It has desirable solubility and dispersion in N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent. The effect of solvents on the entanglement or orientation of LNC molecular chains may be reduced. These results can be quantitatively demonstrated using the Herschel-Bulkley model. Dynamic viscoelastic studies identified a critical point of concentration-frequency of 2.5 rad/s. This particular frequency point is a turning point in the law of the effect of concentration on the loss factor (tanδ). For gelatinized systems, increasing the solvent content reduces the temperature sensitivity of the gelatinized materials. The viscosity-temperature correlation based on the Arrhenius equation allowed the optimization of the solvent content through the derived equilibrium relationship. These structure-rheological performance relationships establish basic guidelines for the precision gelatinization of LNC-based propellant, provide theoretical support for the replacement of conventional NC by LNC, and guide the gelatinization process to improve the performance of gun propellants.
阶梯结构硝基纤维素(LNC)是通过引入柔性聚乙二醇(PEG-400)链段对硝基纤维素(NC)进行化学改性而制备的一种新型含能粘结剂,结构规整,键合性能好。阶梯式结构解决了纳米基推进剂的关键限制,包括低温脆性和高灵敏度,同时提高了工艺安全性。虽然我们在之前的研究中已经研究了LNC的结构、热和其他性能,但对其溶液和糊化过程中的流变性能缺乏系统的研究。研究LNC的结构特征与流变性能之间的关系是指导其糊化和改善LNC基推进剂性能的关键因素。稳态流变实验表明,LNC在不同溶液中均表现出剪切变薄,随浓度的增加而减小。在N, N-二甲基甲酰胺(DMF)溶剂中具有良好的溶解度和分散性。溶剂对LNC分子链缠结或取向的影响可能会降低。这些结果可以用Herschel-Bulkley模型进行定量论证。动态粘弹性研究确定了浓度-频率的临界点为2.5 rad/s。这个特殊的频率点是浓度对损耗因子(tanδ)影响规律的转折点。对于糊化体系,增加溶剂含量会降低糊化材料的温度敏感性。基于Arrhenius方程的黏度-温度关系式可以通过推导出的平衡关系对溶剂含量进行优化。这些结构-流变性能关系为LNC基推进剂的精密糊化提供了基本准则,为LNC取代传统NC提供了理论支持,并指导了糊化工艺以提高火炮推进剂的性能。
