<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Ensuring energy security is a concern for all the world’s countries. For a long time, the issue of energy security has been looked at from the point of view of ensuring the energy resources necessary for the functioning of the economy and society and, implicitly, from the perspective of reducing dependence on imported energy resources. In reality, however, energy security must also be addressed from the perspective of states with energy resources, as their security can be jeopardized by disturbances that may occur during the operation or transport process or due to lower prices. Middle East countries, rich in energy resources, are currently vulnerable due to global oil price declines and instability and conflict in the region. This vulnerability may affect the supply of energyconsuming states and their energy security in the medium and long term, and not only.</abstract>

Aspects Regarding the Energy Security in the Middle East

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> In this paper the authors introduce the cognitive dimension that is becoming more and more important in the field of information operations with special regard to psychological operations (PSYOPS). The strengthening role of influencing skills and technological progress has created new avenues and opportunities in the military field. The paper seeks to point out the relationship between marketing and PSYOPS. In connection with this, the study intends to present a new approach to PSYOPS that can achieve the operational goals which set by the leader by applying guerrilla marketing tools and methods.</abstract>

New Ways in the Cognitive Dimension of Information Operations

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> Highly trained professionals are an addition to the 21st century military organizations that means an utmost challenge for our education systems. The amount, variety and quality of all sorts of profes-sionalisms required by today’s warfare technologies are the crucial requirements to match for today’s and tomorrow’s military recruiters and educators. This article is a try to disseminate some ideas and thoughts concerning the development and improvement of the present educational portfolio by a more proper understanding of the wants and needs of the military workplace through the example of the research and analysis of aircraft maintenance officers and their professional competencies.</abstract>

Competence-Centred Education of Officers Thoughts About a Recent Research of Competencies in Military Aviation Maintenance

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> For us, didactic design is a process that provides the contents, objectives, methods and means of training of military students for their assessment. As in any training, we were forced to think about their needs in order to be able to work out the work schedules. In order to obtain high results in the activity of subjects we need objectives of general and specific physical training as well as psychomotric training.</abstract>

Methodological Design of Action for Military Students, in View of Facilitating the Physical Training Objectives

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> In the up-to-date complicated political situation it’s imperative to monitor the status of the radiation background not only in Bulgaria, but also in Europe and worldwide. Since 1992 in Bulgaria operates an automated system for permanent control of the radiation gamma background (NASPCRGB). The system has been modernized by means of a European program during its last operation period and is connected with EURDEP - the European System for Exchange of Radiological Data of the European Commission. The operation of the System and its management are assigned to the Executive Environment Agency of the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources. In the present article we have shown the structure of the National Automated System for permanent control of the radiation gamma background (NASPCRGB) and its functions.</abstract>

Structure and Management of the National Automated System for Permanent Control of the Radiation Gamma Background in Bulgaria

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> The role of the human factor and its importance for the evaluation of the risk on carriage of hazardous loads with automobile transport is examined in the article. A system of indicators for evaluation of the risk in this direction is proposed.</abstract>

Subjective Risk on Carriage of Hazardous Loads with Automobile Transport

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> The article proposes an analysis of the transformation and modernization of the maintenance system of the military equipment together with the adaptation to military technical systems typology existing in equipping Romanian Army. Technological development of weapon systems in recent decades has imposed adjustment of methodologies for repairs and maintenance to obtain some availability coefficients, assumed for technical systems placed in endowment. Although political and economic conditions were hostile at times, the need to align to the geo-strategic reality has led to the remarkable development of military equipment and to improvement of their maintenance. Endowment with complex military equipment including subsystems in various domains (mechatronic, ballistics, information technology, optical, thermal, chemical, hydro-pneumatic and so on) has created prerequisites for the transformation and modernization of operating systems, logistics, maintenance, whose procedures involve optimization methods to meet the requirements of the modern battlefield.</abstract>

Theoretical Approaches on the Modernization of Military Equipment Maintenance

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> The operational design and its practical application are directly influenced by the training, experiences of the individual command levels and as well they are determined by the economic development of the country. Its quality implementation in the practice is directly addicted upon operational art, which is the real output of the cognitive approach by commanders and staff, by air traffic control instructors and inspectors. And that's what it is sustained by their experience, cognition and as well as verdict - to propose strategies and operations to set up and utilize armed forces. The usage of the simulation tool and synthetic environment is the core part to reach the aim of the high level of the efficiency and at the same time to reach the required level in the flight region safety.</abstract>
