Analysis of jamming successfulness against RCIED activation with the emphasis on sweep jamming

In this paper we first briefly compare the performances of active jamming remote controlled improvised explosive devices activation using wide-band noise and frequency sweep signal. Frequency sweep is the most widely used technique intended for active jamming and we analyze its characteristics: 1) sweep speed, 2) conditions for certainly successful jamming, 3) successful jamming probability if jamming is not certainly successful, and 4) step of frequency change when frequency sweep is applied. The separate paper section is devoted to the successful jamming probability calculation in general. The attention is also paid to jamming probability determination when starting and ending sweep signal frequencies are varied. The initial research has been upgraded and extended. The presented results refer to jamming equipment development in IRITEL, but it is important to add that they are also applicable to the other similar jamming systems realizations.

Fft Analysis

In this paper we compared the time required for the successful jamming of remote controlled improvised explosive devices activation using active and responsive jamming methods. As a representative of active jamming method we analyzed jamming signal generation using frequency sweep. For the analysis of the possible activating signal presence based on responsive jamming procedures we first supposed Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) implementation and compared its analysis rate to the rate of sweep jamming. Taking into account the current technology state, it is proved that the time required to achieve the successful jamming relied on FFT analysis may be less than in the case of active sweep jamming. After that we considered pros and cons for energy detector and matched filter detector implementation in responsive jamming. For these two detector types it is shown how to determine the number of analysis blocks to achieve approximately the same number of collected samples as in the case of FFT implementation, starting from the probabilities of false detection and miss of detection.

IntroductionThe Chinese Role 2 Hospital (CHN-Role 2H) Medical Treatment Facility (MTF) was founded in July 2013 as part of the Chinese commitment to Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA). It provides medical care for approximately 5200 personnel of the whole Sector East of MINUSMA including UN military personnel, UN police and UN civilian staff. The aim of this study was to determine the orthopaedic surgical activity over a 4-year period to facilitate the training of future Chinese military surgical teams.Materials and methodsSurgical records of all patients operated on at the CHN-Role 2H between 28 March 2014 to 28 March 2018 were identified, and all orthopaedic activity were analysed.ResultsDuring this period, 1190 patients underwent 2024 surgical procedures. Orthopaedic procedures represented 961/2024 (47.5%) of all the procedures. Battle injury (BI) represented 43% of patients. Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were responsible for 15.8 % casualties. Fractures (49%) and soft tissue injures (43%) were the most common injuries, with 61% of the fractures being open. Damage control surgery including debridement (23.52%) and external fixation (17.90%) were the most frequently performed interventions.ConclusionOrthopaedic surgery is the most frequently performed surgery in the CHN-Role 2H in Mali. The complexity and severity of injuries demonstrate the urgent need for tailored training and extended skill sets for deploying military orthopaedic surgeons.
