Radio-electronic means, including equipment for transmissions, radio-location, broadcasting, and navigation, allow the execution of various research missions and combat forces management. Determining the target coordinates and directing the armament towards them, obtaining and processing data about enemies, ensuring the navigation of ships, planes and outer atmospheric means, transmitting orders, decisions, reports and other necessary information for the armed forces; these are only some of the possibilities of radio-electronic technology. Fuzzy logic allows the linguistic description of the laws of command, operation and control of a system. When working with complex and nonlinear systems, it can often be observed that, as their complexity increases, there is a decrease in the significance of the details in describing the global behavior of the system. Even though such an approach may seem inadequate, it is often superior and less laborious than a rigorous mathematical approach. The main argument in favor of fuzzy set theory is to excel in operating with imprecise, vague notions. This article demonstrates the superiority of a fuzzy tracking system over the standard Kalman filter tracking system under the conditions of uneven accelerations and sudden change of direction of the targets, as well as in the case of failure to observe the target during successive scans. A cascading Kalman filtering algorithm was used to solve the speed ambiguity and to reduce the measurement error in real-time radar processing. The cascade filters are extended Kalman filters with controlled gain using fuzzy logic for tracking targets using radar equipment under difficult tracking conditions.

The Stirling engine together with a solar concentrator represents a solution for increasing energy efficiency. Thus, within the National Research and Development Institute for Cryogenic and Isotopic Technologies, an automation system was designed and implemented in order to control the processes inside the solar conversion unit using a programmable logic controller from Schneider Electric. The acquired parameters from the installed sensors were monitored using Unity Pro L software. The main objective of this paper is to solve the starting, operating, and shut-down sequences in safe conditions, as well as monitor the working parameters.

Although there are many methods in the literature to eliminate noise from images, finding new methods remains a challenge in the field and, despite the complexity of existing methods, many of the methods do not reach a sufficient level of applicability, most often due to the relatively high calculation time. In addition, most existing methods perform well when the processed image is adapted to the algorithm, but otherwise fail or results in significant artifacts. The context of eliminating noise from images is similar to that of improving images and for this reason some notions necessary to understand the proposed method will be repeated. An adaptive spatial filter in the wavelet domain is proposed by soft truncation of the wavelet coefficients with threshold value adapted to the local statistics of the image and correction based on the hierarchical correlation map. The filter exploits, in a new way, both the inter-band and the bandwidth dependence of the wavelet coefficients, considering the minimization of computational resources.
