Thinning of antenna arrays has been a popular topic for the last several decades. With increasing computational power, this optimization task acquired a new hue. This paper suggests a genetic algorithm as an instrument for antenna array thinning. The algorithm with a deliberately chosen fitness function allows synthesizing thinned linear antenna arrays with low peak sidelobe level (SLL) while maintaining the half-power beamwidth (HPBW) of a full linear antenna array. Based on results from existing papers in the field and known approaches to antenna array thinning, a classification of thinning types is introduced. The optimal thinning type for a linear thinned antenna array is determined on the basis of a maximum attainable SLL. The effect of thinning coefficient on main directional pattern characteristics, such as peak SLL and HPBW, is discussed for a number of amplitude distributions.

The concept of unmanned weapon system-of-systems (UWSoS) involves a collection of various unmanned systems to achieve or accomplish a specific goal or mission. The mission reliability of UWSoS is represented by its ability to finish a required mission above the baselines of a given mission. However, issues with heterogeneity, cooperation between systems, and the emergence of UWSoS cannot be effectively solved by traditional system reliability methods. This study proposes an effective operation-loop-based mission reliability evaluation method for UWSoS by analyzing dynamic reconfiguration. First, we present a new connotation of an effective operation loop by considering the allocation of operational entities and physical resource constraints. Then, we propose an effective operation-loop-based mission reliability model for a heterogeneous UWSoS according to the mission baseline. Moreover, a mission reliability evaluation algorithm is proposed under random external shocks and topology reconfiguration, revealing the evolution law of the effective operation loop and mission reliability. Finally, a typical 60-unmanned-aerial-vehicle-swarm is taken as an example to demonstrate the proposed models and methods. The mission reliability is achieved by considering external shocks, which can serve as a reference for evaluating and improving the effectiveness of UWSoS.

Most of the existing direction of arrival (DOA) estimation algorithms are applied under the assumption that the array manifold is ideal. In practical engineering applications, the existence of non-ideal conditions such as mutual coupling between array elements, array amplitude and phase errors, and array element position errors leads to defects in the array manifold, which makes the performance of the algorithm decline rapidly or even fail. In order to solve the problem of DOA estimation in the presence of amplitude and phase errors and array element position errors, this paper introduces the first-order Taylor expansion equivalent model of the received signal under the uniform linear array from the Bayesian point of view. In the solution, the amplitude and phase error parameters and the array element position error parameters are regarded as random variables obeying the Gaussian distribution. At the same time, the expectation-maximization algorithm is used to update the probability distribution parameters, and then the two error parameters are solved alternately to obtain more accurate DOA estimation results. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified by simulation and experiment.

Complex systems widely exist in nature and human society. There are complex interactions between system elements in a complex system, and systems show complex features at the macro level, such as emergence, self-organization, uncertainty, and dynamics. These complex features make it difficult to understand the internal operation mechanism of complex systems. Networked modeling of complex systems is a favorable means of understanding complex systems. It not only represents complex interactions but also reflects essential attributes of complex systems. This paper summarizes the research progress of complex systems modeling and analysis from the perspective of network science, including networked modeling, vital node analysis, network invulnerability analysis, network disintegration analysis, resilience analysis, complex network link prediction, and the attacker-defender game in complex networks.

Cloud manufacturing is a specific implementation form of the "Internet + manufacturing" strategy. Why and how to develop cloud manufacturing platform (CMP), however, remains the key concern of both platform operators and users. A microscopic model is proposed to investigate advantages and diffusion forces of CMP through exploration of its diffusion process and mechanism. Specifically, a three-stage basic evolution process of CMP is innovatively proposed. Then, based on this basic process, a more complex CMP evolution model has been established in virtue of complex network theory, with five diffusion forces identified. Thereafter, simulations on CMP diffusion have been conducted. The results indicate that, CMP possesses better resource utilization, user satisfaction, and enterprise utility. Results of simulation on impacts of different diffusion forces show that both the time required for CMP to reach an equilibrium state and the final network size are affected simultaneously by the five diffusion forces. All these analyses indicate that CMP could create an open online cooperation environment and turns out to be an effective implementation of the "Internet + manufacturing" strategy.

Total variation (TV) is widely applied in image processing. The assumption of TV is that an image consists of piecewise constants, however, it suffers from the so-called staircase effect. In order to reduce the staircase effect and preserve the edges when textures of image are extracted, a new image decomposition model is proposed in this paper. The proposed model is based on the total generalized variation method which involves and balances the higher order of the structure. We also derive a numerical algorithm based on a primal-dual formulation that can be effectively implemented. Numerical experiments show that the proposed method
can achieve a better trade-off between noise removal and texture extraction, while avoiding the staircase effect efficiently.

To address the problem that dynamic wind turbine clutter (WTC) significantly degrades the performance of weather radar, a WTC mitigation algorithm using morphological component analysis (MCA) with group sparsity is studied in this paper. The ground clutter is suppressed firstly to reduce the morphological compositions of radar echo. After that, the MCA algorithm is applied and the window used in the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) is optimized to lessen the spectrum leakage of WTC. Finally, the group sparsity structure of WTC in the STFT domain can be utilized to decrease the degrees of freedom in the solution, thus contributing to better estimation performance of weather signals. The effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method are demonstrated by numerical simulations.

The consensus problem of the distributed attitude synchronization in the spacecraft formation flying is considered. Firstly, the attitude dynamics of a rigid body spacecraft is described by modified Rodriguez parameters (MRPs). Then global stable distributed cooperative attitude control laws are proposed for different cases. In the first case, the control law guarantees the state consensus during the attitude synchronization. In the second case, the control law ensures both the attitudes synchronizing to a desired constant attitude and the angular velocities converging at zero. In the third case, an attitude consensus control law with bounded control input is proposed. Finally, the effectiveness and validity of the control laws are demonstrated by simulations of six rigid bodies formation flying.

Lightweight convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have simple structures but struggle to comprehensively and accurately extract important semantic information from images. While attention mechanisms can enhance CNNs by learning distinctive representations, most existing spatial and hybrid attention methods focus on local regions with extensive parameters, making them unsuitable for lightweight CNNs. In this paper, we propose a self-attention mechanism tailored for lightweight networks, namely the brief self-attention module (BSAM). BSAM consists of the brief spatial attention (BSA) and advanced channel attention blocks. Unlike conventional self-attention methods with many parameters, our BSA block improves the performance of lightweight networks by effectively learning global semantic representations. Moreover, BSAM can be seamlessly integrated into lightweight CNNs for end-to-end training, maintaining the network’s lightweight and mobile characteristics. We validate the effectiveness of the proposed method on image classification tasks using the Food-101, Caltech-256, and Mini-ImageNet datasets.

The Ocean 4A scatterometer, expected to be launched in 2024, is poised to be the world’s first spaceborne microwave scatterometer utilizing a digital beamforming system. To ensure high-precision measurements and performance stability across diverse environments, stringent requirements are placed on the dynamic range of its receiving system. This paper provides a detailed exposition of a field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based automatic gain control (AGC) design for the spaceborne scatterometer. Implemented on an FPGA, the algorithm harnesses its parallel processing capabilities and high-speed performance to monitor the received echo signals in real time. Employing an adaptive AGC algorithm, the system generates gain control codes applicable to the intermediate frequency variable attenuator, enabling rapid and stable adjustment of signal amplitudes from the intermediate frequency amplifier to an optimal range. By adopting a purely digital processing approach, experimental results demonstrate that the AGC algorithm exhibits several advantages, including fast convergence, strong flexibility, high precision, and outstanding stability. This innovative design lays a solid foundation for the high-precision measurements of the Ocean 4A scatterometer, with potential implications for the future of spaceborne microwave scatterometers.

Adaptive resource allocation for workflow containerization on Kubernetes
Chenggang SHAN, Chuge WU, Yuanqing XIA, Zehua GUO, Danyang LIU, Jinhui ZHANG
Journal of Systems Engineering and Electronics    2023, 34 (3): 723-743.   DOI: 10.23919/JSEE.2023.000073

In a cloud-native era, the Kubernetes-based workflow engine enables workflow containerized execution through the inherent abilities of Kubernetes. However, when encountering continuous workflow requests and unexpected resource request spikes, the engine is limited to the current workflow load information for resource allocation, which lacks the agility and predictability of resource allocation, resulting in over and under-provisioning resources. This mechanism seriously hinders workflow execution efficiency and leads to high resource waste. To overcome these drawbacks, we propose an adaptive resource allocation scheme named adaptive resource allocation scheme (ARAS) for the Kubernetes-based workflow engines. Considering potential future workflow task requests within the current task pod’s lifecycle, the ARAS uses a resource scaling strategy to allocate resources in response to high-concurrency workflow scenarios. The ARAS offers resource discovery, resource evaluation, and allocation functionalities and serves as a key component for our tailored workflow engine (KubeAdaptor). By integrating the ARAS into KubeAdaptor for workflow containerized execution, we demonstrate the practical abilities of KubeAdaptor and the advantages of our ARAS. Compared with the baseline algorithm, experimental evaluation under three distinct workflow arrival patterns shows that ARAS gains time-saving of 9.8% to 40.92% in the average total duration of all workflows, time-saving of 26.4% to 79.86% in the average duration of individual workflow, and an increase of 1% to 16% in centrol processing unit (CPU) and memory resource usage rate.

According to the measurement principle of the traditional interferometer, a narrowband signal model is established and used, however, for wideband signals or multiple signals, this model is invalid. For the problems of direction finding with interferometer for wideband signals and multiple signals scene, a frequency domain phase interferometer is proposed and the concrete implementation scheme is given. The proposed method computes the phase difference in frequency domain, and finds multi-target results with judging the spectrum amplitude changing, and uses the frequency phase difference to compute the arrival angle. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the proposed method effectively solves the problem of the angle estimation with phase interferometer for wideband signals, and has good performance in multiple signals scene with non-overlapping spectrum or partially overlapping. In addition, the wider the signal bandwidth, the better direction finding performance of this algorithm.

To utilizing the characteristic of radar cross section (RCS) of the low detectable aircraft, a special path planning algorithm to eluding radars by the variable RCS is presented. The algorithm first gives the RCS changing model of low detectable aircraft, then establishes a threat model of a ground-based air defense system according to the relations between RCS and the radar range coverage. By the new cost functions of the flight path, which consider both factors of the survival probability and the distance of total route, this path planning method is simulated based on the Dijkstra algorithm, and the planned route meets the flight capacity constraints. Simulation results show that using the effective path planning algorithm, the low detectable aircraft can give full play to its own advantage of stealth to achieve the purpose of silent penetration.

Jamming suppression is traditionally achieved through the use of spatial filters based on array signal processing theory. In order to achieve better jamming suppression performance, many studies have applied blind source separation (BSS) to jamming suppression. BSS can achieve the separation and extraction of the individual source signals from the mixed signal received by the array. This paper proposes a perspective to recognize BSS as spatial band-pass filters (SBPFs) for jamming suppression applications. The theoretical derivation indicates that the processing of mixed signals by BSS can be perceived as the application of a set of SBPFs that gate the source signals at various angles. Simulations are performed using radar jamming suppression as an example. The simulation results suggest that BSS and SBPFs produce approximately the same effects. Simulation results are consistent with theoretical derivation results.

A novel multi-view 3D face registration method based on principal axis analysis and labeled regions orientation called local orientation registration is proposed. The pre-registration is achieved by transforming the multi-pose models to the standard frontal model’s reference frame using the principal axis analysis algorithm. Some significant feature regions, such as inner and outer canthus, nose tip vertices, are then located by using geometrical distribution characteristics. These regions are subsequently employed to compute the conversion parameters using the improved iterative closest point algorithm, and the optimal parameters are applied to complete the final registration. Experimental results implemented on the proper database demonstrate that the proposed method significantly outperforms others by achieving 1.249 and 1.910 mean root-mean-square measure with slight and large view variation models, respectively.

Fog computing has emerged as an important technology which can improve the performance of computation-intensive and latency-critical communication networks. Nevertheless, the fog computing Internet-of-Things (IoT) systems are susceptible to malicious eavesdropping attacks during the information transmission, and this issue has not been adequately addressed. In this paper, we propose a physical-layer secure fog computing IoT system model, which is able to improve the physical layer security of fog computing IoT networks against the malicious eavesdropping of multiple eavesdroppers. The secrecy rate of the proposed model is analyzed, and the quantum galaxy–based search algorithm (QGSA) is proposed to solve the hybrid task scheduling and resource management problem of the network. The computational complexity and convergence of the proposed algorithm are analyzed. Simulation results validate the efficiency of the proposed model and reveal the influence of various environmental parameters on fog computing IoT networks. Moreover, the simulation results demonstrate that the proposed hybrid task scheduling and resource management scheme can effectively enhance secrecy performance across different communication scenarios.

Traditional multi-band frequency selective surface (FSS) approaches are hard to achieve a perfect resonance response in a wide band due to the limit of the onset grating lobe frequency determined by the array. To solve this problem, an approach of combining elements in different period to build a hybrid array is presented. The results of series of numerical simulation show that multi-periodicity combined element FSS, which are designed using this approach, usually have much weaker grating lobes than the traditional FSS. Furthermore, their frequency response can be well predicted through the properties of their member element FSS. A prediction method for estimating the degree of expected grating lobe energy loss in designing multi-band FSS using this approach is provided.

In this paper, the newly-derived maximum correntropy Kalman filter (MCKF) is re-derived from the M-estimation perspective, where the MCKF can be viewed as a special case of the M-estimations and the Gaussian kernel function is a special case of many robust cost functions. Based on the derivation process, a unified form for the robust Gaussian filters (RGF) based on M-estimation is proposed to suppress the outliers and non-Gaussian noise in the measurement. The RGF provides a unified form for one Gaussian filter with different cost functions and a unified form for one robust filter with different approximating methods for the involved Gaussian integrals. Simulation results show that RGF with different weighting functions and different Gaussian integral approximation methods has robust anti-jamming performance.

In order to achieve the information fusion in the time domain based on the evidence theory, an evidence combination method in the time domain based on reliability and importance is proposed according to the idea of evidence discount. Firstly, the distortion of the time-domain evidence is judged based on single exponential smoothing. The real-time reliability of the evidence at the adjacent time is obtained by the real-time reliability assessment method of the evidence based on the credibility decay model. Then, the relative importance of the evidence at the adjacent time is obtained by comprehensively considering improved conflict degree and uncertainty. Finally, based on the criterion of evidence discount and the Dempster's rule of combination, the evidence combination is carried out to achieve the sequential combination of time-domain evidence. The numerical simulation and analysis show that this method has fully embodied the dynamic characteristics of time-domain evidence combination, and it has strong processing ability for conflict information and anti-disturbing ability. The proposed method has good applicability to information fusion in the time domain.

The multilayer satellite network has high spatial spectrum utilization, flexible networking, strong survivability, and diversified functions. The inter-satellite links (ISLs) and cross-layer ISLs (CLISLs) enable direct communication paths between satellites, which improves the spatial autonomy of the constellation. Due to the existence of perturbation, ISLs are affected for a long time, which impacts reliable inter-satellite transmission. The stability and complexity of ISL establishment are related to the static and dynamic characteristics of range and azimuth. This paper presents a model of ISLs in a perturbed multilayer constellation. Series of theoretical derivation, simulation, and numerical calculation are carried out. A more comprehensive multilayer constellation ISL model is obtained. The work of this paper provides some theoretical foundations for constellation networking research.

In this paper, we study the orthogonal time frequency space signal transmission over multi-path channel in the presence of phase noise (PHN) at both sides of millimeter wave (mmWave) communication links. The statistics characteristics of the PHN-induced common phase error and inter-Doppler interference are investigated. Then, a column-shaped pilot structure is designed, and training pilots are used to realize linear-complexity PHN tracking and compensation. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed scheme enables the signal to noise ratio loss to be restrained within 1 dB in contrast to the no PHN case.

Gyro’s drift is not only the main drift error which influences gyro’s precision but also the primary factor that affects gyro’s reliability. Reducing zero drift and random drift is a key problem to the output of a gyro signal. A three-layer de-nosing threshold algorithm is proposed based on the wavelet decomposition to dispose the signal which is collected from a running fiber optic gyro (FOG). The coefficients are obtained from the three-layer wavelet packet decomposition. By setting the high frequency part which is greater than wavelet packet threshold as zero, then reconstructing the nodes which have been filtered out noise and interruption, the soft threshold function is constructed by the coefficients of the third nodes. Compared wavelet packet de-noise with forced de-noising method, the proposed method is more effective. Simulation results show that the random drift compensation is enhanced by 13.1%, and reduces zero drift by 0.052 6?/h.

The wheel brake system safety is a complex problem which refers to its technical state, operating environment, human factors, etc., in aircraft landing taxiing process. Usually, professors consider system safety with traditional probability techniques based on the linear chain of events. However, it could not comprehensively analyze system safety problems, especially in operating environment, interaction of subsystems, and human factors. Thus, we consider system safety as a control problem based on the system-theoretic accident model, the processes (STAMP) model and the system theoretic process analysis (STPA) technique to compensate the deficiency of traditional techniques. Meanwhile, system safety simulation is considered as system control simulation, and Monte Carlo methods are used which consider the range of uncertain parameters and operation deviation to quantitatively study system safety influence factors in control simulation. Firstly, we construct the STAMP model and STPA feedback control loop of the wheel brake system based on the system functional requirement. Then four unsafe control actions are identified, and causes of them are analyzed. Finally, we construct the Monte Carlo simulation model to analyze different scenarios under disturbance. The results provide a basis for choosing corresponding process model variables in constructing the context table and show that appropriate brake strategies could prevent hazards in aircraft landing taxiing.

To track the nonlinear, non-Gaussian bearings-only maneuvering target accurately online, the constrained auxiliary particle filtering (CAPF) algorithm is presented. To restrict the samples into the feasible area, the soft measurement constraints are implemented into the update routine via the $\ell$1 regularization. Meanwhile, to enhance the sampling diversity and efficiency, the target kinetic features and the latest observations are involved into the evolution. To take advantage of the past and the current measurement information simultaneously, the sub-optimal importance distribution is constructed as a Gaussian mixture consisting of the original and modified priors with the fuzzy weighted factors. As a result, the corresponding weights are more evenly distributed, and the posterior distribution of interest is approximated well with a heavier tailor. Simulation results demonstrate the validity and superiority of the CAPF algorithm in terms of efficiency and robustness.

In a system of systems (SoS), resilience is an important factor in maintaining the functionality, stability, and enhancing the operation effectiveness. From the perspective of resilience, this paper studies the importance of the SoS, and a resilience-based importance measure analysis is conducted to provide suggestions in the design and optimization of the structure of the SoS. In this paper, the components of the SoS are simplified as four kinds of network nodes: sensor, decision point, influencer, and target. In this networked SoS, the number of operation loops is used as the performance indicator, and an approximate algorithm, which is based on eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix, is proposed to calculate the number of operation loops. In order to understand the performance change of the SoS during the attack and defense process in the operations, an integral resilience model is proposed to depict the resilience of the SoS. From different perspectives of enhancing the resilience, different measures, parameters and the corresponding algorithms for the resilience importance of components are proposed. Finally, a case study on an SoS is conducted to verify the validity of the network modelling and the resilience-based importance analysis method.

The measurement of the rolling angle of the projectile is one of the key technologies for the terminal correction projectile. To improve the resolution accuracy of the rolling angle in the laser seeker weapon system, the imaging model of the detector, calculation model of the position and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) model of the circuit are built to derive both the correlation between the resolution error of the rolling angle and the spot position, and the relation between the position resolution error and the SNR. Then the influence of each parameter on the SNR is analyzed at large, and the parameters of the circuit are determined. Meanwhile, the SNR and noise voltage of the circuit are calculated according to the SNR model and the decay model of the laser energy. Finally, the actual photoelectric detection circuit is built, whose SNR is measured to be up to 53 dB. It can fully meet the requirement of 0.5° for the resolution error of the rolling angle, thereby realizing the analysis of critical technology for photoelectric detection of laser seeker signals.

Equipment selection is an essential work in the research and development planning of equipment. The scientific and rational development of weapons equipment portfolios is of considerable significance to the optimization of equipment architecture design, the adequate resources allocation, and the joint combat performance. From the system view, this paper proposes a method of weapons equipment portfolios selection (WEPS) based on the contribution rate of weapon systems, providing a new idea for weapon equipment portfolio selection. Firstly, we analyze the WEPS problem and the concept of the contribution rate under the systems background. Secondly, we propose a combat network modeling method for weapon equipment systems based on the function chain. Thirdly, we propose a WEPS method based on the contribution rate, fully considering the correlation relationships between potential weapons and the old weapon systems by the combat network model, under the limitation of capability demands and budget resources, with the objective to maximally increasing the combat ability of weapon systems. Finally, we make a case study with a specific WEPS problem where the whole calculation processes and results are analyzed and exhibited to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method model.

Unsupervised hyperspectral unmixing based on robust nonnegative dictionary learning
Yang LI, Bitao JIANG, Xiaobin LI, Jing TIAN, Xiaorui SONG

Considering the sparsity of hyperspectral images (HSIs), dictionary learning frameworks have been widely used in the field of unsupervised spectral unmixing. However, it is worth mentioning here that existing dictionary learning method-based unmixing methods are found to be short of robustness in noisy contexts. To improve the performance, this study specifically puts forward a new unsupervised spectral unmixing solution. For the reason that the solution only functions in a condition that both endmembers and the abundances meet non-negative constraints, a model is built to solve the unsupervised spectral unmixing problem on the account of the dictionary learning method. To raise the screening accuracy of final members, a new form of the target function is introduced into dictionary learning practice, which is conducive to the growing robustness of noisy HSI statistics. Then, by introducing the total variation (TV) terms into the proposed spectral unmixing based on robust nonnegative dictionary learning (RNDLSU), the context information under HSI space is to be cited as prior knowledge to compute the abundances when performing sparse unmixing operations. According to the final results of the experiment, this method makes favorable performance under varying noise conditions, which is especially true under low signal to noise conditions.

In this paper, a trajectory shaping guidance law, which considers constraints of ?eld-of-view (FOV) angle, impact angle, and terminal lateral acceleration, is proposed for a constant speed missile against a stationary target. First, to decouple constraints of the FOV angle and the terminal lateral acceleration, the third-order polynomial with respect to the line-of-sight (LOS) angle is introduced. Based on an analysis of the relationship between the looking angle and the guidance coefficient, the boundary of the coefficient that satisfies the FOV constraint is obtained. The terminal guidance law coefficient is used to guarantee the convergence of the terminal conditions. Furthermore, the proposed law can be implemented under bearings-only information, as the guidance command does not involve the relative range and the LOS angle rate. Finally, numerical simulations are performed based on a kinematic vehicle model to verify the effectiveness of the guidance law. Overall, the work offers an easily implementable guidance law with closed-form guidance gains, which is suitable for engineering applications.
