Abstract:

Discussion on deterrence is nearly always focused on threat of retaliation, such as mutually- assured destruction. Threat of retaliation relies on convincing the deterred of both capability and will to retaliate; reduction of either diminishes the threat. This concept describes deterrence by punishment, but there is a complimentary form, deterrence by denial, also known as dissuasion. This research presents deterrence by denial on equal footing with deterrence by punishment, and presents an equation similarly related to convincing the dissuaded of resilience to and protection against attack. Further, defense is presented as a product of deterrence and dissuasion. Dissuasion is an important concept; it is necessary to understand how U.S. vulnerabilities, such as civilian critical infrastructure, can undermine national defense through its diminishing influence on dissuasion. Critical infrastructure, such as national electric power grids, are susceptible to electromagnetic pulse events, both man-made and naturally-caused. U.S. EMP vulnerability will continue to undermine national defense until its critical infrastructure and military systems are publicly and credibly resilient.

Abstract:

This discussion focuses on extending deterrence principles beyond the 20^th Century nuclear paradigm to address challenges within the space and cyberspace domains. It opens with the post-Cold War era, proceeds to explore the attributes of deterrence; conducts a comprehensive overview of the space and cyberspace domains; applies deterrence principles to assure the peaceful uses of the space and cyberspace domains; and concludes with a discussion on the erosion of protections for noncombatants through the evolution of warfare from the Industrial Age to the Information Age.

The author posits that in order to counter the effects of a constant state of war, deterrence in space and cyberspace must be executed as a campaign through all phases of conflict.  The fundamental strategy of this campaign is to assume a position of strength.  This is achieved by building a resilient architecture supporting both space and cyberspace domains.  This architecture includes a complementary set of offensive and defensive capabilities intended to make the cost of engagement exceed the intended benefits.

Complementing the architecture are confidence building measures designed to prevent inadvertent escalation by creating channels to resolve issues stemming from the misinterpretation of an action, miscommunication of intent, and inadvertent or accidental application of effects.  These measures also serve to resolve incidents purposefully initiated either by hubris or fear at the lowest phases of conflict.  These confidence building measures include the need for productive relationships between rivals, the establishment of norms of behavior, and the exercising of restraint to prevent emotions from clouding the judgement of decision makers. Through the combination of these measures, harmful momentum is dampened allowing a state of strategic stability to flourish.  In this state, sovereign nations can pursue national interests while adhering to established international norms.

Hiber LEO satellite IoT constellation that is going to offer low cost low power IoT connectivity on a global scale. In 2018 He provided a number of presentations giving an overview of current and new satellite-IoT connectivity providers (e.g. during the WMO Meteo Tech conference in Amsterdam). Emphasis was there on the launch of a number of LEO based systems end of 2018. Now in 2019 however these systems are on the verge of becoming operational and the idea is to provide an overview of the running services these systems provide alongside existing sat-iot operators

Abstract:

The presentation will consist of :1.An overview of the satellite-iot operators2.Focus on the new space Leo sat-iot players3.Market opportunities for Sat-IOT

Abstract:

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a promising multi-carrier modulation technique and has been widely used for wireless communications systems. OFDM is inherently high-bandwidth efficient, but we cannot avoid bandwidth inefficiency to remedy the increased peak-to-average power (PAPR) issue in OFDM systems. In this talk, we consider the bandwidth inefficiency issue of some PAPR reduction techniques for OFDM systems. Two schemes are introduced to cope with the issue. One is null-subcarrier’s switching approach and the other is subcarrier group modulation (SGM) approach. Especially, the latter one accomplishes bandwidth efficient communications. Some simulations results are shown and it is unveiled that both approaches are interesting and play an important role for OFDM systems.

Abstract:

The advent of new wireless applications, especially industrial applications, have required new wireless network architecture design with new network management techniques. Industrial automation is one of the significant wireless applications that requires ultra-reliable and ultra-low latency wireless connectivity with high network availability. The upcoming Five Generation (5G) mobile wireless communication system is expected to satisfy the Ultra-Reliable and Low Latency Communications (URLLCs), in addition to the other two uses cases of enhanced Mobile Broadband (e-MBB) and massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC). Also, Tactile internet applications, in which real-time communications must be enabled to support haptic communications (i.e. touch and real-time control transmission) over the wireless communication network. Tactile internet will be the real future and will need End-to-End (E2E) network connectivity optimization to guarantee millisecond Round-Trip Delay (RTD) and millisecond network outage per day

Biography:

Sudeep Giri is a 1st year college student pursuing Aviation Science and Management in the Advanced Flight career track at Middle Georgia State University. He is a student firefighter at the Cochran Fire Department in Cochran, GA and the founder of 3D Printing 4 Humanity, a 3d printing organization focused on research and humanitarian needs.

Abstract:

There is a need for increased advancement of 3d printing systems to develop potential extraterrestrial habitation, transport systems and tools for spaceflight operations and research. The possibilities of 3d printing are pretty much endless. From manufacturing prototypes to producing serviceable parts for real-time applications in today’s industries, 3d printing has already started to signify the future of research and manufacturing technology for the better of humanity on and off this world. The technology required to 3d print extraterrestrial devices and tools have been created, but a well developed system to research and manufacture properly working devices for spaceflight operations have yet to be discovered. With an international collaborative effort, 3d printing research focused on spaceflight operations may lead to productive solutions in making humans an interplanetary species
