Secure communication and authentication between specific receiver and transmitter is attractive subject in digital communication and remote sensing. Encryption rules and authentication are important parameters in telecommand and remote sensing. This subject is a tactical problem and an important parameter in military communications. In this paper at first we introduce encryption methods and authentication rules in remote sensing based on CCSDS standards, finally we plan a new algorithm according to use of both criteria simultaneously for military systems.

One of the basic parameters in achieving power for each country is to obtain new technologies such as the space technology. Certainly, outcomes and benefits of the space technology have great impacts on national prestige in the international community. Understanding its isolated position in the international community, Israel has been able to achieve significant progress in the field of space technology. The space program of Israel is considered as the fourth dimension of its national security. Since there are longstanding enmity between the Zionist regime and the Islamic Republic of Iran, Israel is using all kinds of tools to undermine and destroy the Islamic Republic of Iran. One of these tools is the space program that will carry out spying, surveillance, reconnaissance of critical facilities and centers, recognizing the country's defense forces and etc. Hence, the study of space program of Zionist regime and its satellite capabilities will be necessary.By using the analytical - descriptive study method and collecting required information from credible library sources, this research attempts to answer this question clearly what implications the Israeli space program and its development will have on the security of our country? The purpose of this research is to outline capabilities of Zionist regime space program based on the review of the features of its launched satellites and their effect on the security of our country.The result of research holds that due to the dual nature of space activities Israel attempts to develop a missile program in the guise of its space program and to exploit the spying measures through optimization of launcher missiles, which is a threat to the Middle East tumultuous region, especially to our country.

The Performance assessment program and quality of working life has changed dramatically over the decades that the development program has resulted in investment in human resources. The amount of product or service the employees provide with the least cost and time, and highest in quality, quantity, discipline and accountability is indicative of their performance. Quality of working life approach, which is related to the work environment impacts on both individual and organizational effectiveness. Walton considers eight main variables increasing the quality of working life. After analyzing, following results were obtained by using a sample T-test and Pierson correlation coefficient: 1) The average quality of working life of employees of Imam Ali University is below the theoretical means (3.5) and is equal to (3.0724). 2) The average performance of Imam Ali University is above the theoretical means (3.5) and is equal to (4.0707). 3) There is no relationship between qualities of working life and performance of employees of Imam Ali University.

Knowledge management is an effective solution for managing the most important organizational assets which means educated workers. There would be some problems in knowledge management without IT, whereas using it will ensure organizational intelligence. IT helps leaders and workers of the organization to achieve required information easily and quickly and accordingly they will be able to verify the data and reach a better decision. In this study, we investigate the case of Share Point software by Microsoft Corporation. It is provided to carry out knowledge transfer in an organization A suitable software model for implementation of knowledge management in the Army is suggested. Hence, general specifications and advantages of Share Point, its management of advanced documentation, adaptability with Office software, the quality of displaying attendance, conversational use, scalability, expandability, security, supportability, and hardware have been discussed.

Most studies of mental health in the armed forces focus primarily on posttraumatic stress disorders among military personnel in combat situations. Toevaluate the prevalence of common mental disorders (CMD) and job stress, andthe association between the two, among military personnel in peacetime. Additionally, it sought to identify occupational subgroups with higherprevalence of CMD. The study participants were 506 military personnel from a Brazilian army directorate in Rio de Janeiro City. CMD were evaluated usingthe 12-item version General Health Questionnaire. Job characteristics weremeasured using the effort-reward imbalance (ERI) model and by categories ofmilitary rank. Prevalence ratios (PRs) were estimated by Poisson regression toobtain robust (95%) confidence intervals (CIs).The prevalence of CMD was33% (95% CI 29–37). After adjusting for age, education, income, life- style andother occupational characteristics, ERI was associated with CMD (PR 5 2.03;95% CI 1.3– 3.1). Over commitment proved to be an important component ofjob stress. Independently of socio- economic, demographic, lifestyle and jobstress variables, the rank of lieutenant associated strongly with CMD (PR 52.02; 95% CI 1.2–4 0.1).This study found that job stress among armed forcespersonnel is associated with CMD. In addition, the specific occupationalcharacteristics of the military environment can lead to a higher prevalence ofCMD among those holding the rank of lieutenant.
