The article is directly related to the authors’ previous study of the remotely operated underwater vehicle’s (ROV) motion, where the mathematical model of the ROV motion is derived for laminar flow of water. This solution of the ROV motion has been improved by using the three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation that allows simulating the turbulent flow, which is mainly generated by propellers. Both methods were coupled to obtain more accurate values of hydrodynamic damping coefficients for the improved determination of the ROV motion velocity. Results of the solution are discussed and some of them are compared with the experiment.

The radar matched filter is implemented in fractional Fourier domain (FrFD) and the required processing steps to perform the radar matched filter in FrFD are demonstrated. The complexity of the FrFD matched filter over the normal frequency transform matched filter is also investigated. The performance enhancements for using the matched filter in the FrFD are presented and the enhancement in the signal to noise ratio (SNR) output at different target SNRs are also described.

Dynamic engraving process of 23 mm projectile was studied using numerical simulation. A finite element model of projectile and barrel during the engraving process was constructed, and the deformation process of the driving band, the displacement parameters of the projectile, the force interaction between the projectile and the barrel were determined. To evaluate the simulation model, a semi-static experiment was carried out on an MTS-810 universal testing machine with a cross-head speed of 20 mm min−1. The simulation results show that the mechanism of the 23 mm projectile rotating band engraving process is the plastic deformation process of the rotating band material, engraving time is 1.12 m s, and the projectile velocity after engraving is 105 m s−1. The simulation results reflect the actual rotating band engraving process, which is very distinct from the assumptions used in the classical ballistic model. This work provides an approach to investigating the interior ballistic processes considering the dynamic engraving of rotating bands.

This research resulted from military interest in finding methods to provide distributed electricity generation in order to support comprehensive state defence measures. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of a heated air-fuel mixture on the combustion process of a spark ignition (SI) engine, and to highlight the maximum temperatures to be applied to air-fuel mixtures with different fuel fractions in order to avoid any detonation of the fuel mixture in the engine. Tests were carried out with a petrol engine generator (GENSET) so that an investigation could be conducted into the effect of the air-fuel mixture on the engine’s combustion. It turned out that heating the air-fuel mixture permits the use of heavier fraction fuels than engine petrol in SI engines does, including diesel fuel and biodiesel fuel, and also that the use of heavy fraction fuels in SI engines is effective mainly under low and middle loads.

During the long-term operation, anti-aircraft missile weapons are characterized by the technical condition and level of reliability change influeincing the efficiency on the intended use. The article presents a model of surface-to-air missile system (SAMS) reliability during long-term operation, which contains a set of models, namely: a model of operation of ground combat assets (GCA) of SAMS according to the typical cyclogram of intended use (TCIU); a reliability dynamics model of SAMS GCA in the established system of maintenance and repair (SMR) and a reliability dynamics model of surface-to-air missiles (SAM) during extended usage. It is expedient to use the developed model at substantiation of requirements to the indicators of SAMS and SAM reliability for their development or modernization; when developing SAMS repair plans in terms of determining the time of SAMS GCA and (or) SAM repairing time and when developing methods for assessing the effectiveness of SAMS taking into account the duration of SAMS GCA and SAMS usage.

The possibility of a significant flight range extension of a guided aerial bomb during climb bombing due to the jet thrust created by a solid-propellant rocket engine was considered. By means of simulation, a comparative analysis of the range of a guided aerial bomb equipped (not equipped) with a solid-propellant rocket engine under typical flight conditions of the carrier aircraft during level flight and climb bombing was performed. It was demonstrated that the use of a solid-propellant rocket engine, whose mass is 20 % of the guided aerial bomb’s mass, allows to increase the horizontal range of its flight at least twice.

This article presents a method to establish the dynamic model of the Shooter-weapon system when firing based on Lagrange’s theorem and the theory of multibody system dynamics, in which the influence of the human body was taken into account. In the dynamic model, the influence of the gunner is solved by using elastic-damping links in the x, y and z axes. The dynamic model is created for a portable gas-operated submachine gun and contains three solids with seven degrees of freedom. The 7.62 mm AKM submachine gun has been used for the model simulation and experimental verification. The dynamic simulation was conducted and then the results were compared with the corresponding experimental data. The model simulation results are very close to the experimental results. This study aims to survey the influence of various parameters on gun stability in the shooting. It is possible to apply these results to portable automatic guns.

Although it is widely believed that the space sector is one of the pillars of national security, in practice cosmic systems exist somewhat outside the area of critical infra-structures discussion. Cybersecurity of space systems does not differ significantly from industrial cybersecurity, however, the uniqueness of the sector and space technologies means that its vulnerability to digital incidents depends on a number of factors that does not occur anywhere else. The purpose of the article is to defend the thesis that space systems are the weakest link in critical infrastructure systems, because the level of their cybersecurity is still disproportionate to the level of their technological ad-vancement.
