    The basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) bar is a new material that can be used in the field of civil engineering instead of steel, and it is urgent to carry out an in-depth study on the failure mechanism of BFRP bar-concrete bond and bond strength. In this paper, the basic theories of elasto-plastic mechanics and concrete fracture mechanics are utilized to describe the bond damage process and failure mechanism of BFRP bar-concrete, and to establish a semi-empirical and semi-theoretical method for calculating the bond strength of BFRP bar-concrete. The method adopts the corresponding calculation method for the damage mode based on the logistic regression model, and comprehensively considers the effects of concrete strength, BFRP bar diameter, concrete protective layer thickness, and loading rate, and finally verifies the reliability and prediction accuracy of the calculation method through the relevant test data. The results show that the bond strength of BFRP bar-concrete is closely related to the damage mode; the tensile strength of concrete is the primary factor affecting the bond strength; the cracking state of concrete depends on the diameter of the BFRP bar; the thickness of the protective layer of concrete and the loading rate directly affects the bond strength of BFRP bar-concrete. The calculation results of this method are in good agreement with the test results, and the prediction error of the proposed method is 0.9%—23.7%,which provides an effective method for predicting the bond strength of BFRP bar-concrete.

    At present, the refined damage assessment of reinforced concrete structures subjected to penetration explosion mainly relies on numerical simulations and experimental data analysis, both of which suffer from the drawbacks of time-consuming processes and high economic costs. To address these issues, a novel digital-intelligent prediction model for penetration-explosion damage is proposed to simulate the entire dynamics of the penetration-explosion process. Based on the graph neural network and a multi-task learning paradigm, this model can achieve rapid and accurate predictions of building damage morphology and node failures under various penetration positions and explosion yields, with a single penetration-explosion prediction taking only 0.2 seconds. Specifically, during the penetration phase, the structural response field prediction error is less than 2.9%, and the node failure prediction accuracy exceeds 99.5%; during the explosion phase, the structural response field prediction error is lower than 6.5%, and the failure prediction accuracy surpasses 98.8%. The evaluation of 100 penetration-explosion damage scenarios takes only 30 s.The proposed digital-intelligent prediction model demonstrates excellent generalization performance and highly efficient, accurate prediction capability, thus providing a new tool for building structure damage assessment and safety protection design.

    Accurate determination of extreme boundary conditions in the forward design of a fuse is a robust guarantee for its safety. The safety margins hold paramount significance in the fuze forward design, where environmental excitations, detonation control components, and other safety factors directly impact fuze reliability. To address these challenges, this study proposes a conceptual framework for the fuze safety margins and establishes an analytical evaluation method for the electromagnetic environment safety margins in the fuze systems. The method specifically addresses two key scenarios: (1) voltage, current, and energy safety margin calculations under known electromagnetic environments, and (2) transient/pulse electromagnetic conditions. Furthermore, the paper systematically elaborates on experimental principles for safety margin verification in fuze detonation control circuits, principles for test point selection, and methods for component parameter selection.These contributions provide references and support for the theoretical analysis and engineering application of fuse safety margins.

    Radar signal sorting is a key technology in the electronic warfare system and an essential part of battlefield situational awareness. The development of new system radar technology brings a serious challenge to radar signal sorting in the current complex battlefield electromagnetic environment. For the problem that the traditional K-means clustering algorithm is sensitive to the initial cluster number K and the initial points when performing signal sorting on radar full pulse data, an optimized K-means-based radar signal sorting algorithm is proposed. The combination of water wave center diffusion(WWCD) optimization algorithm and the Canopy algorithm realizes the optimal selection of the distance threshold of the Canopy algorithm, and optimizes the selection of the cluster number K for K-means clustering, effectively reducing the sensitivity of the K-means algorithm to the selection of the initial number of clusters. Three kinds of UCI data and three kinds of frequency-hopping radar pulse data are used to verify the sorting performance of the proposed method, and the clustering effects are also compared with common clustering algorithms such as DBSCAN, OPTICS, and Canopy-K-means. The results show that the proposed method is insensitive to the setting of initial parameters and has a high clustering and sorting accuracy.

    Mobile edge computing (MEC) can effectively address the issues of increasing business demands and greater processing difficulties for mobile users. However, users' service demands have differentiated characteristics in time and space. At the same time, network characteristics such as deep uncertainty in the network environment also restrict the efficiency of network edge task processing and service caching. In response to these challenges, this paper studies the users' service offloading and service caching issues in a multi-user and multi-edge server MEC system. To address the differentiated service requirements of users in both time and space, with the optimization goal of minimizing the average delay and energy consumption cost for all users under the base station, a joint optimization of task offloading and service caching based on the differentiated needs in time and space is established.Taking into consideration the characteristics of the network environment with deep uncertainty, a multi-agent deep reinforcement learning algorithm based on graph neural networks and long short-term memory networks is further proposed for autonomous learning and decision-making of user task offloading, resource allocation, and service caching strategies. Finally, simulations have verified that the proposed algorithm has good convergence and energy efficiency.

    When the conventional feature matching color transfer method is applied to the fusion of ultra-wide field-of-view infrared and low-light images, the problems such as high mismatch rate and poor fusion effect may occur. Thus, A natural color fusion method based on superpixel features and color clustering joint constraints is proposed. First of all, the superpixel segmentation is carried out on low-light image and space of color reference image, and  low-level, mid-level, and high-level superpixel feature sets are constructed sequentially. Secondly, the superpixel color clustering of space of color reference image is processed by the improved Fuzzy ART network. Thirdly, the initial superpixel matching set is established based on the similarity of superpixel features. Additionally, with the adaptive color transfer, an initial colorized low-light image is generated and then fused with an ultra-wide field-of-view infrared image to obtain an initial color-fused image. Finally, based on the similarity between infrared-only information and infrared information with color, color transfer is applied to the infrared-only information, ultimately obtaining a naturally colored fused image. The experiment results indicate that compared with traditional methods, the proposed method improves fusion metrics and color metrics by over 19.5% and 9.4%, respectively. The fused images obtained not only retain the significant feature information of both infrared and low-light images well, but also exhibit natural and continuous colors.

    Hyperspectral image target detection technology has important application value in many fields. In order to fully exploit the rich spatial and spectral information in hyperspectral images, a hyperspectral image target detection method called Gabor-CEM, which combines Gabor filtering with constrained energy minimization (CEM), is proposed. This method fully combines the advantages of the Gabor filtering and the CEM algorithm. The Gabor filtering is utilized to effectively extract the spatial texture and orientation features from hyperspectral images, providing abundant spatial information for target detection. Meanwhile, the CEM algorithm is leveraged for efficient utilization of target spectral information, enabling target localization and identification. Experiments were conducted using hyperspectral images captured by a field imaging spectrometer, and the results showed that compared with the traditional methods, the Gabor-CEM method can more accurately detect targets, reduce false positives and false negatives, and has significant advantages in target detection tasks, providing a new and effective approach for hyperspectral image target detection.

    To address urban traffic congestion and the high demands for traffic collaboration, this study proposes a communication cooperation model-multi-agent deep deterministic policy gradient (CCM-MADDPG) algorithm based on a communication cooperation module (CCM). The core of this algorithm lies in the design of the CCM, which explores the deep-level relationships among neighboring agents through an embedding layer and an information extraction module. It dynamically weights and fuses neighbor information with an attention mechanism to avoid redundancy and information averaging. By embedding the CCM into the Actor network, agents integrate neighborhood information for decision-making, leveraging the locality principle to alleviate joint action space challenges while enhancing system stability and collaborative efficiency. Experiments demonstrate that the CCM-MADDPG significantly outperforms baseline models, such as Qmix and FRAP, on both synthetic and real-world dataset, exhibiting exceptional scalability and adaptability in complex road networks. Specifically, in the Manhattan road network, it reduces average delay by approximately 28.8% and 26.3% compared with Qmix and FRAP, respectively. The ablation studies confirm the necessity of CCM's information extraction and attention mechanisms. This algorithm provides an efficient solution for multi-agent collaborative control, with dual potential for urban traffic optimization and applications. Its core contribution resides in the successful integration of the CCM design with the MADDPG framework.

    The evaluation of jamming effectiveness confronts some practical challenges such as information asymmetry, variable communication behaviors, and dynamic channel conditions in complex electromagnetic environments. Meanwhile, under the condition of empowering non-cooperative wireless network targets with artificial intelligence and machine learning theories and technologies, to achieve a precise and robust evaluation of jamming effectiveness remains a major bottleneck constraining the jamming effectiveness. To address the issue mentioned above, an efficient cognitive jamming method is proposed. Based on the deterministic channel modeling technology , this method employs a two-layer genetic algorithm to virtually estimate the performance upper bound of non-cooperative wireless network targets under different jamming decision scenarios. This estimated upper bound serves as the basis for evaluating the jamming effectiveness of different jamming decisions, enabling the selection of optimal or suboptimal jamming strategies. Simulation results and theoretical analyses validate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method, providing a reference for enhancing the evaluation of jamming effectiveness and achieving cognitive confrontation in the electromagnetic spectrum domain.

    Taking a square combined wire rope isolator as the research object, this study addresses the complexity of parameter identification in the dynamic response model. Based on static and shock isolation tests, an equivalent dynamic model dominated by loading stiffness is established. The rationality of equivalent linear models and variable-stiffness models is compared, and the valuation of the major parameters is discussed. The results indicate that the square combined wire rope isolator exhibits significant hysteretic characteristics and stiffness nonlinearity in both vertical and horizontal directions. Under the explosive impact, both the isolation rate exceed 89.77%, demonstrating good isolation performance. The isolator shows negligible damping under small impact vibrations, whereas it exhibits substantial damping under large impact vibrations. The variable-stiffness equivalent dynamic model established based on the loading stiffness of the isolator can effectively describe the dynamic behavior of the isolated structure under shock vibrations within a certain range.

    The overload resistance performance of the rotary isolation mechanism is one of the critical factors ensuring the normal operation of trajectory correction fuses. Aiming at the operating environment of trajectory correction fuses for high-speed rotating projectiles, a rotation-isolating mechanism with the functions of "internal cushioning and external isolation"is designed. The elastoplastic coupling deformation of the mechanism is analyzed through a combination of finite element simulation, theoretical analysis, and experimental verification.The simulation results indicate that the internal multi-spherical point-contact cushioning component undergoes a deformation of 1.44 mm at the moment of impact, with a contact radius of approximately 2 mm after impact; the theoretical analysis reveals that a helical spring with a stiffness of 150 N/mm can meet the requirements for outer isolation design; the deformation of the cushioning component in the hydraulic impact test is basically consistent with the simulation results, which verifies the rationality of the structural design. The design of the rotary isolation mechanism will have a significant impact on the engineering application of trajectory correction fuze and the advancement of high-precision guided munitions.

    In the context of modern military operations, the network collaboration capability of distributed unmanned combat clusters is of vital importance. Focusing on such cluster collaborative networks, an inductive graph reinforcement learning framework is established, and a heterogeneous network disintegration method integrating inductive graph representation learning and deep reinforcement learning techniques is proposed. The inductive graph representation learning empowers the method with the ability to rapidly generate disintegration effects on the strategies of emerging networks, and by modeling network disintegration as a Markov decision process and combining it with deep reinforcement learning for solving, the disintegration efficacy is significantly improved while reducing the complexity of the problem. Experiments show that the inductive approach is able to transfer among networks of different scales and achieves a better balance between disintegration effectiveness and time consumption; especially in scenarios where node-attack cost constraints are introduced, it exhibits excellent disintegration efficacy and strategy scalability. This research has significant military application value in reducing the complexity of battlefield cognition and improving the timeliness of dynamic decision-making.

    As a new concept ultra-high-speed kinetic energy weapon, electromagnetic (EM) railguns possess extensive military application prospects; however, their firing power and development challenges remain unclear. Based on the analysis of the theory of electromagnetic railguns and the progress in armature technology, the development dilemmas of electromagnetic railguns are summarized. It is found that the magnetic saw effect occurring at the throat section of a U-shaped aluminum armature limits the firing power (i.e., muzzle momentum) of simple railguns. Based on this, a high-power EM railgun concept is proposed, which utilizes the principle of independent action of mutually perpendicular magnetic fields and the principle of mechanical contact force superposition and transmission, to synthesize two simple railguns into a complex railgun with dual pulsed power supplies (PPS), dual armatures, four rails, a single projectile, and a near-square bore. The mechanical structure of this railgun is compact and well-designed, with the two electrical circuits operating independently without interference, jointly accelerating the projectile. Its equivalent bore pressure and firing power can both be increased to approximately twice that of a simple railgun of the same caliber. The proposed design can promote the advancement of electromagnetic railgun technology and possesses certain military application value.

    In response to the lack of systematic research on the characteristic of flight stability of rotating stable projectiles with variation of position elevations, with the 155 mm howitzer as an example,the flight stability conditions of rotating stable projectiles were analyzed, and the characteristics of the gyroscopic stability, dynamic stability, and tracking stability with variation of position elevations were simulated and analyzed. The results show that on a certain elevation of the full trajectory, as long as the gyroscope stability of the projectile at the muzzle is met, it will inevitably meet the gyroscope stability on the full trajectory; as the elevation increases, the gyroscope stability factor increases, and thus the gyroscope stability enhances; under high altitude conditions, a decrease in air density is beneficial to maintaining dynamic stability, and with the increase of elevation, dynamic stability is significantly enhanced; the dynamic balance angle increases with the elevation of the position, and the tracking stability deteriorates. However, as long as the tracking stability conditions are met, the overall stability of high-altitude trajectory is stronger than that of low altitude; under high altitude conditions, it is necessary to avoid shooting at high firing angles to prevent the occurrence of excessive power balance angles that may cause fight instability.

    To address the limitations of the existing methods in capturing the complex spatiotemporal features of traffic flow, this study proposes an improved Transformer long short-term memory (LSTM) fusion model aimed at enhancing the prediction accuracy of highway traffic flow. By combining the long-term dependency modeling capability of the LSTM with the global self-attention mechanism of the Transformer, this model utilizes a gated residual network to filter key features, dynamic positional encoding to enhance temporal perception, and a masking mechanism to optimize multi-head attention computation, thereby effectively reducing the model complexity. Based on monitoring data from the Changshen Expressway, the comparative experiments were conducted against baseline models including HA, ARIMA, LSTM, GRN, traditional Transformer, and GRN-Transformer. The results show that, across the 6-step, 12-step, and 24-step prediction tasks, the proposed model achieves significantly lower mean absolute error (MAE) and root mean square error (RMSE) than all the other models. Specifically, for the 24-step prediction, the MAE is reduced by 7.7% compared with the Transformer model, and the RMSE is decreased by 7.2% relative to the GRN-Transformer model, validating the model's superiority in capturing long-term spatiotemporal dependencies and dynamic features. The proposed approach provides a high-precision solution for traffic flow prediction in intelligent transportation systems and can support real-time traffic management and decision-making optimization.

By incorporating a neural process, it learns latent variables for missing locations through latent state transitions, enabling the completion of missing values and providing uncertainty estimation. Adequate spatiotemporal feature representation improves the accuracy of imputation, inference completion of unknown nodes compensates for the problem of sparse sensor deployment, and uncertainty estimation enhances the reliability of deployment decisions in real-world critical applications. The experiments on multiple datasets have verified the accuracy and effectiveness of the method, and provided valuable reliability references for uncertainty estimation.

    To address the current challenges of low efficiency in blasting crater expansion and small cavity formation in hard rock, a combined-hole millisecond delay blasting method for cavity formation by hole enlargement is proposed. By drilling a central main hole and surrounding holes, and by rationally designing the charge and initiation sequence, a cubic-meter-level cavity can be formed in hard rock with a single blast. The numerical simulations were used to analyze the blasting damage evolution process and cavity expansion effects for the schemes with 4 and 6 surrounding holes. The feasibility of the technical solution was then verified through field blasting tests. The results of the field tests show that the actual cavity volumes after blasting for the 4-hole and 6-hole schemes were 0.722 m3 and 1.010 m3, respectively, which are slightly smaller than the numerical simulation results. Nevertheless, it is demonstrated that large-volume, cubic-meter-level cavities can be efficiently formed in hard rock using this combined-hole millisecond delay blasting technology. The proposed technology can provide technical support for the rapid creation of cubic-meter-level cavities in hard rock.

    Deep transportation tunnels and coal mine roadways in high geostress and complex geological environments are prone to engineering disasters such as large deformation of surrounding rock, coal bump and rockburst. The traditional cable with insufficient deformation capacity and limited impact resistance cannot adapt to the nonlinear large deformation damage characteristics of the deep buried surrounding rocks. A new type of energy-absorbing anchor cable with a shrinkable tube structure is proposed. This design leverages the plastic deformation energy absorption properties of steel to allow for greater deformation while providing high-strength, stable, and pressure-yielding bearing capacity. To explore its impact resistance characteristics, a series of drop hammer impact tests were conducted on the core pressure-yielding component of the anchor cable under varying impact heights, drop hammer weights, and numbers of impacts. The test results show that the shrinkable-tube energy-absorbing anchor cable can absorb energy up to 103 kJ in a single impact, and the working resistance is basically stabilized between 240~280 kN, which has good impact resistance performance. A field application test was carried out in the roadway of 8302 mining face in Xinjulong coal mine. The results indicate that the shrinkable-tube energy-absorbing anchor cable can achieve 120 mm of pressure-yielding deformation without fracturing. This research provides a new technical approach for controlling large deformation and impact disasters in deep rock masses.

    As one of the key technologies of multi-agent unmanned systems, collaborative control has long been trapped in the problem of how to solve the influence of external disturbances.This study addresses the consistency control of multi-agent unmanned systems in the presence of input disturbances and introduces an event-triggered single-network adaptive dynamic programming approach. The proposed control strategy mitigates input disturbance signals by integrating the coupling gain with the optimal solution of the system cost function. Additionally, this research establishes the event-triggered conditions for updating the control strategy and rigorously proves the stability of the consistency state error in the multi-agent nonlinear systems under the event-triggered mechanism. Furthermore, a single-network adaptive dynamic programming algorithm is developed to solve the coupled Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation. Leveraging the Lyapunov stability theory, the uniform boundedness of the neural network weight estimation error is validated.Finally, the simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method which provides a reference for enhancing the collaborative capabilities and efficiency of unmanned systems.

    The reconstruction algorithm based on the interference and noise covariance matrix (INCM) is regarded as a burgeoning robust adaptive beamforming (RAB) technology in recent years. However, most of the INCM algorithms only focus on the performance under different error conditions but ignore the computational complexity of the algorithms. First, to address this issue, with a focus on the robustness and computational complexity of the INCM algorithms, based on the nominal steering vectors of interference and the signal of interest (SOI) obtained by the Capon algorithm, the robust Capon beamforming (RCB) algorithm is employed to correct the nominal steering vectors, thereby obtaining the actual steering vectors of interference and SOI and enhancing the resistance to steering vector errors. Moreover, the total interference power is estimated using the maximum eigenvalue of the sample covariance matrix (SCM), which effectively reduces the computational complexity of the algorithm. Through the aforementioned two parts, the designed beamformer maintains low complexity while possessing superior error resistance capabilities. The simulation results show that the proposed INCM algorithm has excellent resistance to different types of errors, taking into account both computational complexity and performance. Finally, a physical verification platform is established with software-defined radio (SDR) equipment, which further verifies the superior anti-jamming performance of the proposed method.

    A multi-objective path optimization problem is proposed in order to assist decision-makers to make balanced decisions based on comprehensively considering the flight energy consumption of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and the timeliness of information from sensor nodes in complex battlefield environments. By tightly coupling multiple sub-problems, such as clustering of ground sensor nodes, optimization of the data upload sequence of nodes within the cluster, waypoint allocation of multiple UAVs, and path optimization of UAVs, a multi-objective multi-UAV clustering location-routing problem (MOMAC-LRP) optimization model that minimizes the total flight time of multiple UAVs and the age of sensor node information is constructed. Additionally, an improved non-dominated sorting genetic algorithmⅡwith task allocation design is proposed to solve this problem, and a CPLEX solver based on non-uniform aggregation weights is designed as a comparison scheme. The simulation results show that the optimized path set generated by the proposed algorithm can more reasonably balance the relationship between different indicators while having performance no lower than that of CPLEX, so it has a higher reference value, providing new ideas for improving the scientificity and effectiveness of decision making.

    Considering the difficulty of balancing the delay and energy consumption of long-distance multi-hop transmission of UAVs in wide-area sparse scenarios, this paper studies how to realize the collaborative optimization of delay and energy consumption through dynamic control. In this paper, a multi-objective optimization problem is proposed, and a dynamic dual-domain collaborative optimization framework is designed to jointly optimize the three elements of the data collection time, the number of UAVs and the transmission distance to construct the delay-energy Pareto frontier. For the non-convex optimization problem, a hybrid solution strategy based on fixed variable iterative optimization and heuristic algorithm is designed, and the main problem is decomposed into three sub-problems for alternating iterative optimization. The simulation results show that the proposed framework can accurately match the differentiated requirements of delay-sensitive and energy-efficiency-sensitive tasks, and achieve transmission performance comparable to that of the base station-assisted scheme in the scenario without ground base station, and verify that the algorithm has stable convergence characteristics. This study provides a lightweight dynamic control method for low-density UAV networks, which effectively solves the contradiction between "low-density deployment" and "high-efficiency backhaul", and has theoretical guidance value for the design of low-density UAV networks in wide-area missions.

    To address the escalating demands for integrated low-altitude communications and sensing, this paper investigates the distributed integrated communication and sensing beamforming problem for low-altitude airspace based on a cell-free MIMO architecture. Assuming access point (AP) equipped with uniform planar array (UPA), the study optimizes distributed beamforming vectors to concurrently provide communication services to low-altitude and terrestrial users while actively sensing low-altitude targets. The distributed beamforming problem is modeled as a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) maximization problem for sensing, subject to constraints on the communication signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR).This problem is a non-convex optimization problem. Then, an approximate optimal solution method based on semidefinite relaxation (SDR) is proposed. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve a communication SINR comparable to that of the optimal beamforming design scheme. Moreover, the sensing SNR performance significantly outperforms that of prior comparative schemes designed solely for communication or sensing beams.

    The penetration depth of earth-penetrating projectiles into layered protective structures is a key issue in protective engineering design. In practice, the projectile usually penetrates the target with an incidence angle, and the protective structure is typically composed of multi-layered materials. The relevant theories and empirical formulas for penetration depth are relatively complex, which are not conducive to engineering applications. Based on the motion equation of the projectile, the motion deflection law of the projectile during oblique penetration was analyzed and a safety-biased calculation formula for oblique penetration was presented. The concept of equivalent thickness was introduced to convert the equivalent thickness of multi-layered media through wave impedance, then a calculation method for the penetration depth of multi-layered media was obtained. The results show that the oblique penetration depth can be estimated by multiplying the normal penetration depth by the cosine of the angle of incidence, yielding a conservative result; the penetration depth in different media is inversely proportional to the medium's impedance. The derived formulas for oblique and layered media penetration depths are consistent in form with current specifications, elucidating the physical significance of the empirical formulas in the specifications. Compared with the oblique penetration test in reinforced concrete, the maximum relative error of the theoretical prediction is 21.6% in the range of incidence angle from 0° to 50°. Compared with the numerical simulation of penetration to layered media , the theoretical prediction of the number of penetration layers is consistent with the simulation, and the relative error of penetration depth is 3%, which verifies the applicability of the theoretical calculation method.

    To address two major challenges in time series forecasting (TSF) research—namely, the failure to account for potential dynamic changes when modeling the intra-sequence and inter-sequence correlations, and the limited generalization ability caused by independently training multiple related forecasting tasks—this paper proposes a dynamic graph convolutional multi-task TSF (DGMTSF) model. The DGMTSF introduces multi-head attention (MHA) to learn the time-varying correlations among different time steps within the sequence in parallel and adaptively through dynamic attention weights. The graph convolutional network (GCN) is embedded in the long short term memory (LSTM), and information propagation and aggregation are carried out at the temporal state of each step, thereby effectively modeling the dynamic correlation across different sequences. The DGMTSF designs a feature weighted sharing mechanism under the multi-task learning framework. Each layer of the task subnet can perform weighted fusion of its own feature map with the features of the previous layer of all other subnets. This not only strengthens the learning of shared features among tasks but also enables flexible adjustment of the degree of feature sharing based on different task requirements, significantly enhancing the generalization ability of the model. The experimental verification on real public medical datasets shows that the DGMTSF exhibits outstanding predictive performance advantages over the baseline method.

    The mechanical behavior of structural planes at various scales within a rock mass determines the stability of the surrounding rock in engineering projects. With the continuous increase in the burial depth of underground engineering projects, the threat posed by time-delay engineering disasters under disturbed environments is becoming more and more prominent. Based on a systematic review of research from field observations, laboratory experiments, and theoretical models, it is concluded that the remote induction of tectonically controlled time-delayed rockbursts and engineering seismic events is essentially the delayed instability of rock mass structural planes triggered by disturbances.A new concept termed the disturbance aftereffect of shear creep on structural planes is proposed. This concept refers to the phenomenon that, when a structural plane undergoing shear creep is subjected to a disturbance, the influence of the disturbance persists even after the disturbance has ceased. As a result, the subsequent creep process of the disturbed structural plane exhibits different states and nonlinear behaviors compared to its undisturbed condition. Based on the typical manifestations of the disturbance aftereffect, the critical transition behavior of shear creep in structural planes and its influencing factors are explored. In addition, this study highlights that the scientific characterization of disturbance intensity, the conditions and mechanisms of delayed instability critical transition, theoretical models of the critical transition process, and cross-scale research of rock-structural plane-rock mass systems are key issues that urgently need to be resolved. The solution of these problems will provide a solid foundation for understanding the mechanisms of remote triggering of earthquakes and the effective prevention of time-delay engineering disasters.

    With the continuous expansion of China's activities in polar scientific research, resource exploration and development, and polar shipping, the demand for polar communications continues to grow. The shortwave communication, capable of achieving long-distance transmission over thousands of kilometers through ionospheric reflection, features flexible deployment and strong survivability, making it one of the crucial communication means in polar regions. This paper first conducts a detailed analysis of the current research status of the unique ionospheric characteristics in polar regions and ionospheric models. It then reviews the research status of polar shortwave communications across four key areas: shortwave channel modeling, spectrum sensing prediction and channel detection and link establishment, communication waveform design, and ultra-long-distance link design. After that, this study summarizes four major challenges in polar shortwave communications: difficulties in channel modeling, frequency determination, waveform design, and technical verification. Finally, it proposes future research directions of polar shortwave communications from multiple perspectives, including enhanced ionospheric oblique sounding, data-driven frequency prediction, channel detection and communication waveform design, and AI-enabled shortwave communication technologies.

    Mobile jamming causes rapid and dynamic fluctuations in jamming signals, significantly complicating the task of efficient anti-jamming communication under channel resource constraints. Conventional single-slot "sensing-decision" approaches not only incur substantial time costs but also tend to concentrate multiple user pairs on the same jamming-free channels, thereby wasting the resources of the jammed channels. To overcome these limitations, a multi-slot channel trading mechanism driven by periodic bidding is designed. This mechanism operates by observing the jamming environment, collecting users' bids, and making a single allocation decision per cycle. Given the hierarchical and periodic nature of users' interactions, a system is modeled with the multi-stage Stackelberg game framework and a periodic bidding-driven anti-jamming channel selection algorithm is proposed. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed trading mechanism achieves a significant utility improvement and exhibits strong robustness in multi-user scenarios, confirming its effectiveness in countering mobile jammers.

    In open and dynamic environments, as new emitters continuously emerge, identification algorithms need to continually learn new features while maintaining the ability to recognize previously learned ones. However, in non-cooperative scenarios, the scarcity of newly added emitter samples poses a challenge to existing deep learning-based methods, especially in few-shot situations where insufficient generalization capability and catastrophic forgetting are commonly observed. This paper proposes a meta-learning-based few-shot class-incremental specific emitter identification (SEI)method. The proposed method replaces traditional offline training with a pseudo class-incremental training paradigm and incorporates a meta-learning strategy to optimize the parameter update mechanism, enabling the model to rapidly adapt and expand its identification capacity even with very limited new samples. Meanwhile, sample replay and knowledge distillation strategies are introduced to improve the loss function, effectively mitigating the problem of historical knowledge forgetting. The experimental results demonstrate that on the public ADS-B dataset, the proposed method maintains a identification accuracy of 94.25% after one round of incremental learning, verifying its effectiveness in few-shot incremental learning scenarios.

    Multi-model combinations leverage the complementary nature of features extracted by different deep learning models to enhance the performance of automatic modulation recognition (AMR). However, a systematic analysis and comparison of these composite models is still lacking. This paper designs six serial composite models based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, and Transformer. A comprehensive comparative analysis is conducted based on the RML2016.10a and RML2018 datasets, focusing on recognition accuracy, model complexity, noise robustness, and performance disparities across different modulation categories. The experimental results demonstrate that on the RML2016.10a dataset, the CNNTransformer (CT) dual-model combination achieves an average recognition accuracy of 60.7%, which is 0.8 percentage higher than the CNNLSTMTransformer (CTL) triple-model combination, while reducing the number of parameters by 54.7%. Moreover, for signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) greater than 10 dB, the accuracy variance is reduced by 35.3%. On the RML2018 dataset, the CNNLSTM (CL) dual-model combination achieves comparable performance to CTL with only 32.9% of the parameters. Further analysis reveals that the concurrent use of LSTM and Transformer introduces temporal redundancy; that positioning temporal modules at the forefront makes the model prone to extracting noise-corrupted features; and that local feature modeling is critical for accurately recognizing higher-order representations and phase-sensitive modulations. The findings of this study establish a quantitative foundation for optimizing the lightweight design and robustness of composite AMR models.

    With the surge of wireless devices and the escalation of malicious interference in the 6G era, the traditional reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) with fixed elements and half-space coverage can no longer guarantee reliable anti-jamming performance across indoor-outdoor scenarios. To address this limitation, a wireless anti-jamming transmission method assisted by a movable elements-based simultaneous transmitting and reflecting reconfigurable intelligent surface (ME-STAR-RIS) is proposed. By jointly optimizing the active beamforming and transmit power at the base station and the flexible passive beamforming (including element positions and phase shifts) at the ME-STAR-RIS, the scheme aims to maximize the anti-jamming communication rate. To tackle the high-dimensional non-convex joint optimization problem inherent in the ME-STAR-RIS-assisted anti-jamming transmission design, the optimization problem is formulated as a Markov decision process (MDP) and solved using a double deep Q network (DDQN) algorithm, yielding optimized transmit power and flexible passive beamforming. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed anti-jamming transmission method assisted by ME-STAR-RIS significantly enhances the system's anti-jamming performance, compared with the traditional approaches.

    Airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) is widely used in the acquisition and analysis of transmission line point clouds, demonstrating high accuracy and efficiency in complex environments. However, conventional methods for extracting power line points still suffer from heavy reliance on manual intervention, limited automation, and low efficiency. To address these issues, this paper investigates the spatial features of power line point clouds through multi-dimensional analysis. An adaptive elevation threshold method is first introduced to segment ground and non-ground points. Subsequently, an automated extraction method is proposed by integrating the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm with a density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN). The experimental validation across multiple scenarios demonstrates that the proposed method significantly enhances both the automation level and efficiency of power line extraction. It meets the practical demands for efficient inspection and automated operation in power systems, thereby providing technical support and experimental evidence for advancing automated power line point cloud extraction.

    To resolve the conflict between path safety and strike timeliness arising from the decoupled design of threat assessment and trajectory planning in multi-target strike missions, this paper proposes a UAV trajectory planning algorithm based on dynamic threat assessment. A dynamic threat assessment model is first developed by integrating three-dimensional spatial distance and weighted target attributes, which quantifies battlefield threats to model the complex environment. Subsequently, a two-stage planning framework combining improved Affinity Propagation (AP) clustering and a Genetic Algorithm (GA) is introduced. This framework utilizes a threat-weighted similarity matrix and adaptive damping factors to dynamically generate clusters of strike points. An optimal flight trajectory that satisfies the threat constraints is then generated by the GA. This approach achieves the collaborative optimization of threat assessment, target clustering, and trajectory planning. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm significantly reduces both the total threat exposure and the peak threat level in complex environments compared with conventional methods, while also maintaining lower computational complexity. This validates the effectiveness of the deep coupling between threat assessment and planning.
