Translated from the official German naval history of the First World War, this account is based upon the war diaries of the commanding officers involved and makes extensive use of the texts of naval staff memoranda andinstructions, operation and war orders, and German wireless messages. Concentrating on the North Sea area, the volume begins with an examination of the background of the conflict and the preliminary German preparations for the warvis-a-vis those of the British Navy, and then proceeds to the early operations of the two fleets during August 1914. The detailed treatment reflects theimportance of this initial stage of the contest, in which are exhibited the maritime planning and determinations that set the course of the entire naval conduct of the war: the blockade by Britain and the German employment of the submarine and mine warfare.

Submarine Warfare in the 20 th & 21 st Centuries: A Bibliography

: Various subdisciplines of psychology are relevant to the defence against terrorism, in terms of anti-terrorism, counter-terrorism, and terrorism consequence management Anti-Terrorism: Psychological methods can be applied to reduce vulnerabilities to attack and to encourage the general public to identify infrastructure and other vulnerabilities Counter-Terrorism: Psychological techniques are available to assess and improve terrorism awareness in the general population The detection performance of counter-terrorism personnel can be improved: psychological methods can enhance situation awareness, situated cognition, detection capabilities, and decision-making; automated expert system tools employing fuzzy signal detection can assist personnel; other psychological techniques can enhance individual and team function, personnel selection and training Psychological principles can also be applied to obstruct and impede terrorist functioning Consequence Management: Psychological methods can be used to enhance capabilities of first responders, improve escape and evacuation procedures for civilians, promote resilience in the general population, and treat victims of terrorism more effectively We propose possible configurations for psychological consulting teams who would help defence authorities use these strategies to address terrorist activity

Psychological Strategies for the Defence Against Terrorism

In this paper, we introduce the virtual role playing (VRP) concept using intelligent agents. The objective of VRP is to provide training to incomplete teams is by emulating missing human operators. Keystones of this system are the mandatory collaboration between the agents and the homogeneity of the interactions between the intelligent agents and the human operators in order to achieve a common target. This VRP system, as used in the NOVA 1 project, aims at providing a training environment for a maritime patrol aircraft (MPA) in an antisubmarine warfare (ASW) mission.
