The Role of Unmanned Aerial Systems in Military Intelligence
No full textDinamična modernizacija i specijalizacija vojnih sustav, činjenica je koja definira razvoj svih
oružanih snaga 21. stoljeća. Jedan od boljih primjera ovog trenda jest povećana uporaba i razvoj
besposadnih zrakoplovnih sustava (BZS) čija je prisutnost na svakom suvremenom bojištu
neupitna. Ovaj će rad u svojem uvodu istaknuti upravo važnost i nezamjenjivost ove tehnologije
kako na bojištu tako i u svakodnevnom djelovanju obavještajnih službi. Zatim slijedi davanje
kontekstualnog okvira definiranjem obavještajnog rada kroz svoje discipline, pravilnosti i
specifičnosti. Fokus rada potom će se prebaciti na općenite tehničko-taktičke karakteristike
besposadnih sustava u cjelini, kao i tipologiju i spektar senzora kojim su opremljene . Nakon
prijašnjih opisa uporabe i potencijala, slijede primjeri samog korištenja BZS-a na terenu
(Afganistan, Nagorno karabah). Rad će se zaključiti sažimanjem ključnih koncepta koji su se
definirali u radu te buduće perspektive za razvoj BZS u OSRH.The dynamic modernization and specialization of military systems and techonology is a fact that
defines the development of all armed forces in the 21. century. One of the prime examples of this
trend is the techonological advancement and extensive use of unmaned aerial vehicles ( UAV),
which are already indispensable on the modern battlefield. In its introduction, this thesis will
underline the value of the UAVs and argue that they are irreplaceable in modern warfare and
everyday intelligence actions. The thesis contextual framework will be given through defining
the intelligence system as a whole, with all its diciplines and methods. The focus will then be
transferred on the general technical and tactical characteristics of the UAVs, as well as its
typology and its plethora of sensors. After the definitions and the characteristics, there will be
given examples of the actual usage of UAVs (Afganistan, Nagorno-Karabakh). The thesis will
conclude with the summary of key concepts and the future perspectives for the development of
UAV systems in the Croatian Army
American Intervention in the Vietnam War
No full textVijetnamski rat bio je najkontroverzniji rat Sjedinjenih Američkih Država. Kako bi rat mogao
biti opisan u cijelosti, u uvodu je ukratko prikazan položaj Vijetnama te njegova povijest.
Naglasak je stavljen na Prvi indokineski rat koji je prethodio Vijetnamskom. U razradi su
predstavljene zaraćene strane unutar Vijetnamskog rata te je objašnjena pozadina uključivanja
SAD-a u rat. U tijek rata, osim borbenih djelovanja, uključena je i politika različitih američkih
administracija koje su se izmjenjivale kako je rat odmicao. Kasnije je opisana medijska
pokrivenost te antiratni prosvjedi koji su se događali za vrijeme Vijetnamskog rata. Na kraju su
opisana poslijeratna zbivanja u SAD-u.Vietnam War was the most controversial war for the United States of America. To understand
the war entirely, introduction briefly presented the position of Vietnam and its history. Emphasis
was placed on the First Indochina War which preceded the Vietnam War. The elaboration
presented the warring sides within the war and explained the background of the US involvement
in the war. In the course of war, except combat operations, big influences had various policies of
the US administration which alternated as the war progressed. Furthermore, media coverage and
antiwar protest, that took place during Vietnam War, were described. In the end, post-war events
in the USA were depicted
Role of Yugoslav Intelligence Community in the Period from the Breakup of SFRY to the Assasination of Prime Minister Zoran Đinđić
No full textPitanje sigurnosno obavještajnog sektora bivše Jugoslavije je iznimno delikatno. Počevši od
razdoblja Titove Jugoslavije, ovaj sektor je u potpunosti podređen tadašnjem jednopartijskom
sustavu. Ovaj rad govori o djelovanju obavještajne službe JNA u samom početku rata u
Republici Hrvatskoj. O načinu organizacije samog djelovanja i iskorištavanju trenutne političke
situacije u Hrvatskoj. Potom ćemo obraditi aktivnosti Službe državne bezbednosti na području
Hrvatske, točnije osnivanje i djelovanje paravojnih formacija u svrhu otkidanja teritorija
Hrvatskoj. Nakon završetka sukoba, sigurnosno obavještajni aparat prelazi u potpunu službu
režima Slobodana Miloševića, koji ga koristi za suzbijanje osoba nepodobnih režimu. Takav
aparat će dočekati pad Miloševića većinom neokrznut od demokracije. Unatoč pokušajima
reforme sektora sigurnosti, ovaj sustav će pasti na najvećem testu, ubojstvu premijera Srbije,
Zorana Đinđića.The issue of the security and intelligence sector of the former Yugoslavia is extremely delicate.
Beginning with the period of Tito's Yugoslavia, this sector was completely subordinated to the
then one-party system. This paper discusses the activities of the Yugoslav army intelligence
service at the very beginning of the war in the Republic of Croatia. On the manner of organizing
the action itself and taking advantage of the current political situation in Croatia. Then we will
discuss the activities of the State Security Service in Croatia, more precisely the establishment
and operation of paramilitary formations for the purpose of tearing off the territory of Croatia.
After the end of the conflict, the security-intelligence apparatus becomes a guardian of the
regime of Slobodan Milosevic, who uses it to suppress political opponents of the regime. Such
an apparatus will welcome the fall of Milosevic, mostly untouched by democracy. Despite
attempts to reform the security sector, the system will fail the biggest test, the assassination of
Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic
Soviet Deep Battle and Its Use in Operation Bagration in the Summer of 1944
No full textDiplomski rad bavi se konceptom duboke operacije gdje se nastoje prikazati ishodišta samog
koncepta, povijesne okolnosti i razloge zbog kojeg je nastao te koji su razlozi početnog
neuspjeha u primjeni prve dvije godine Drugog svjetskog rata na istočnom ratištu i eventualnog
uspjeha operacije Bagration kao najboljeg primjera koncepta u praksi. Rad će se doticati i
razvoja ruske operativne razine ratovanja te koncepta maskirovke ili obmane koji je pridonio
uspjehu sovjetskih ratnih operacija.The master’s thesis is focused on the development of the deep operations concept where it will
explore its historical origins, the historical background and reasons why it was developed. The
thesis also describes the reasons why this concept failed in action in the first two years of World
War 2 on the Eastern Front and why it eventually succeded in operation Bagration. The
development of russian operational art and the concept of maskirovka or deception which also
contributed to the success of soviet operations will also be explored
High Pressure Fuel Supply System of the Engine V - 46 - 6
No full textTenk M-84 napravljen je na temelju ruskog tenka T-72, a njegova odličja su primjena najvećeg
kalibra topa i učinkovitog streljiva, automatsko punjenje topa, mala masa i silueta, te dobra
zaštita. Također, na raspolaganju ima novi suvremeni sustav za upravljanje paljbom,
modificirani motor veće snage, nova radio oprema i NBK detektor. Iako je napravljen na temelju
ruskog tenka T-72, zadržava njegove osnovne značajke, ali predstavlja evoluciju baznog tenka u
sustavima i značajkama. U tenku M-84 nalazi se dvanaestocilindarski dizelov motor.
Dizel motori imaju široku primjenu kao pogonski motori. Ugrađuju se u razna prijevozna
sredstva, ali najviše se koriste kod teretnih vozila. Kako bi se postigao što učinkovitiji rad
motora, potrebno je imati sustav ubrizgavanja koji može postići velike tlakove, te samim time
povećati efikasnost motora. Većim tlakovima umanjuju se nečistoće u gorivu te su ujedno čestice
goriva manje, stoga se gorivo bolje miješa sa zrakom.
Na motoru V-46-6 nalazi se visokotlačni sustav dobave goriva. Glavni dijelovi su: visokotlačna
pumpa, brizgaljke, cjevovodi itd. Sustav ubrizgavanja je izravan te motoru pruža snagu od 575
kW.The M-84 tank was built on the basis of the Russian T-72 tank, and its features are the use of the
largest caliber cannon and effective ammunition, automatic cannon loading, low mass and
silhouette, and good protection. It also has at its disposal a new modern fire control system, a
modified engine with higher power, new radio equipment and an NBK detector. Although it is
based on the Russian T-72 tank, it retains its basic features, but represents an evolution of the
base tank in systems and features. The M-84 tank has a twelve-cylinder diesel engine.
Diesel engines are widely used as propulsion engines. They are installed in various means of
transport, but they are mostly used in trucks. In order to achieve the most efficient operation of
the engine, it is necessary to have an injection system that can achieve high pressures, thereby
increasing the efficiency of the engine. Higher pressures reduce the impurities in the fuel and at
the same time the fuel particles are smaller, so the fuel mixes better with the air.
The V-46-6 engine has a high-pressure fuel supply system. The main parts are: high-pressure
pump, injectors, pipelines, etc. The injection system is direct and provides the engine with a
power of 575 kW
Geopolitical Consequences of the AUKUS Pact
No full textU radu se analiziraju geopolitičke i vojne posljedice AUKUS pakta između Australije, SAD-a i
Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva. Prvi dio rada se odnosi na međunarodni poredak i strateško okružje
početkom 21. stoljeća s naglaskom na Sjedinjene Američke Države i Kinu. Zatim smo proučili
stratešku važnost Indo-Pacifika i strategije određenih aktera sukladno njihovom utjecaju u
navedenoj regiji. U nastavku smo se fokusirali na AUKUS pakt i njihovu strategiju. Nadalje,
objektivno smo sagledali strateške percepcije sedam zemalja i Europske unije s ciljem analize
geopolitičkih i vojnih posljedica, ali i identificiranja mogućih partnerstva u budućnosti. Odabrani
su na temelju njihove trenutne ili potencijalne buduće uloge u Indo-Pacifiku. Također smo
analizirali i usporedili određene saveze s AUKUS-om. Naposljetku smo razjasnili sigurnosnu
dilemu podmornica na nuklearni pogon u AUKUS sporazumu i posljedica koje bi mogle
izazvati.The paper analyzes the geopolitical and military consequences of the AUKUS Pact between
Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom. The first part of the paper refers to the
international order and strategic environment at the beginning of the 21st century with an
emphasis on the United States and China. Then we have studied the strategic importance of the
Indo-Pacific and the strategies of certain actors according to their influence in the said region. In
the following, we focused on the AUKUS pact and their strategy. Furthermore, we objectively
looked at the strategic perceptions of seven countries and the European Union in order to analyze
the geopolitical and military consequences, but also to identify possible partnerships in the
future. They were selected based on their current or potential future role in the Indo-Pacific. We
also analyzed and compared certain alliances with AUKUS. Finally, we clarified the safety
dilemma of nuclear-powered submarines in the AUKUS agreement and the consequences they
could cause
EU position in the Geopolitical Conflict between the US, China and Russia
No full textTema rada je analiza pozicioniranja EU u tekućem geopolitičkom sukobljavanju između SAD s
jedne strane, te Kine i Rusije s druge strane. U navedenoj situaciji EU se sve više nalazi u
poziciji da mora odustati od strategije balansiranja odnosa s obje strane. To nastoje iskoristiti
SAD (kroz traženje podupiranja američke strategije sukobljavanja sa Kinom i Rusijom), ali i
druga strana (sa ciljem razbijanjem savezništva SAD i europskih zemalja).The topic of the thesis is the analysis of the EU's positioning in the current geopolitical conflict
between the United States on the one hand, and China and Russia on the other. In this situation,
the EU finds itself increasingly in a position of needing to abandon the strategy of balancing
relations on both sides. The United States are trying to take advantage of this (by seeking to
support the American adversarial strategy with China and Russia), but the other side as well
(with the goal of breaking the alliance between the United States and European countries)
Models of Attacker Behavior in the Cyberspace
No full textKibernetičke prijetnje postaju sve ozbiljne ugroze i sigurnosni problem organizacijama na
nacionalnoj i međunarodnoj razini. Posebna ranjivost suvremenih društava na kibernetičke
prijetnje svakako proistječe iz činjenice njihove ovisnosti u brojnim vitalnim segmentima na
informacijsko-komunikacijske tehnologije, tako da je izloženost kritične infrastrukture
kibernetičkim napadima sve veća i iziskuje odgovarajući sustav preventive i odgovora na same
napade. Bez obzira što sustavi, organizirani kako na nacionalnoj tako i na nadnacionalnoj razini,
aktivno tragaju za isplativim i učinkovitim rješenjima za sprječavanje, otkrivanje i zaštitu od
kibernetičkih napada, to još ne pruža odgovarajući odgovor na ovu sofisticiranu prijetnju. U
ovom radu pojašnjavaju se pojam i značajke kibernetičkih operacija, predstavljaju se
kibernetičke prijetnje, glavna obilježja i vrste kibernetičkog napada te profil i vrste napadača.
Glavni fokus rada je na opisivanju tehnika modeliranja napadača koja može pomoći u
strukturiranju djelotvornog odgovora te su razrađena tri glavna modela ponašanja napadača:
model prekidanja kibernetičkog lanca, dijamantni model i miter attack model.Cyber threats are becoming an increasingly serious threat and security issue to organizations at
national and international levels. The special vulnerability of modern societies to cyber threats
certainly stems from the fact that they are dependent on ICT in many vital segments, so that the
exposure of critical infrastructure to cyber attacks is increasing and requires an adequate system
of prevention and response to the same attacks. Although systems organized at both national and
international levels are actively seeking cost-effective and efficient solutions to repel, detect, and
protect cyber attacks, this does not yet provide an adequate response to this sophisticated threat.
This paper explains the basicy concept and characteristics of cyber operations, and presents
cyber threats, as well as the main features and types of cyber attack and the profile and type of
attacker. The main focus of the paper is on describing the attacker modeling technique that can
help to structure an adequate response, and three main models of attacker behavior have been
developed: the cybernetic chain breaking model, the diamond model, and the att&ck miter
model
Israeli Intelligence
No full textOvaj rad opisuje i analizira obavještajni sustav države Izrael u povijesnoj perspektivi, njegovu
ulogu od samog nastanka te transformaciji u posthladnoratvoskoj eri. Izraelski obavještajni
sustav analizira se kao subjekt unutarnje sigurnosti, ali i međunarodne sigurnosti. Kroz rad je
prikazana organizacija obavještajne službe Izraela, funkcioniranje i podjela djelokruga rada
između civilnih i vojnih obavještajnih agencija kao što su Aman, Shabak i Mossad. Prikazani su
neki od najvažnijih i najpoznatijih primjera uspjeha obavještajnog rada države Izrael, ali i
primjeri značajnih neuspjeha i loših zaključaka. U samom zaključku, analizirana je moć i važnost
postojanja obavještajne službe Izrael, kako obavještajne službe države Izrael utječu na
regionalnu sigurnost, kojim instrumentima se koristi u samom procesu uspostave i održavanja
sigurnosti.This paper describes and analyzes the intelligence system of the State of Israel from a historical
perspective, its role since inception, and its transformation in the post-Cold war era. The Israeli
intelligence system is analyzed as a subject of internal security, but also international security.
The paper further presents the organization of the Israeli intelligence service, functioning, and
work domain between civilian and military intelligence agencies such as Aman, Shabak, and
Mossad. Some of the most important and well-known examples of the success of the intelligence
work of the State of Israel are presented, but there are also examples of significant intelligence
failures and bad conclusions. In the end, the power and importance of the existence of the Israeli
intelligence system are analyzed, how the Israeli intelligence system affects regional security,
and which instruments are used in the process of establishing and maintaining global security
