The echeloned mine barriers system of the russian occupying forces became a real challenge for the Ukrainian military. The first days of the Ukrainian offensive in the Zaporozhye direction revealed that the russians had created very dense minefields on their defense lines. The occupiers used continuous mining of the area, that is several times higher than the normative values for laying mines. The solution to this problem can be found in the application of non-standard technical solutions and tactical techniques that will allow to break through the echeloned mine barriers system of the russian occupying forces. Regarding the technical aspect of this issue solving, there was an interesting technical solution in the history of weapons and military equipment. We are talking about a hovercraft, that is supported above a supporting surface (land or water) on a compressed air layer (cushion) created by ship fans (superchargers). This principle of movement allows them to overcome underwater engineering structures and to break through mine barriers, to move on ice and swampy terrain, to go to the shore equipped in the anti-landing position, to overcome ditches and trenches. These tactical properties of hovercraft can be taken as a basis for the creation of a new generation of armored vehicles based on new principles of movement. In theory, the combat use of a whole series of armored vehicles on an air cushion (tanks, combat vehicles, armored personnel carriers, mortars, demining machines, evacuation vehicles, etc.) will expand the capabilities of mechanized units, will allow to improve existing methods and techniques for breaking through the echeloned mine barriers, forcing water obstacles, swampy and desert terrain. The issue of creating armored vehicles on an air cushion to break the mine barrier requires further research.

An improved method of the fixed and variable pitch propeller aerodynamic characteristics determining that based on the vortex theory is presented. It is shown that the design of propellers has it`s peculiarities, it does not take into account a number of factors that affect the propeller operation to one or another degree. This actualized the special purpose unmanned aerial vehicles engines propellers aerodynamic characteristics calculating methodology improvement. Since the use of the propeller profiles performances in the design requires the air compressibility correction introduction already after the selection of the propeller, that complicates the design, therefore the mathematical model of the variable-pitch propeller working process has been improved based on the profile model with the correct consideration of the Mach and Reynolds numbers influence on the aerodynamic characteristics of the air screw. This advantage of the developed airfoil model allows the design and verification of a subsonic propeller for ground and flight operations. Methods of design and verification calculations of propeller blades are presented. Verification of the improved methodology was carried out by comparing calculated data with known experimental data. The reliability of the improved aircraft engine propeller main performances determination methodology is substantiated by the correct application of the numerical and experimental methods of aerodynamics, the consistency of theoretical provisions with experimental data. The satisfactory coincidence of the calculated data obtained by the improved method of the engine propeller main performances determination allowed us to draw a conclusion concerning its efficiency. The improved technique for the main performances of an aircraft engine propeller determination does not require knowledge on the propeller profiles aerodynamic characteristics from which the blade is drawn, since these characteristics are calculated based on known geometric data, taking into account the Mach and Reynolds numbers.

The article analyzes modern methods of the route of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) planning. An ontology for the routes of the UAVs group planning algorithms classification has been developed, which includes two elements: global planning and local planning. The article notes that the purpose of UAV flight routes planning is the optimal (rational) solution of specific tasks under appropriate weather conditions and taking into account other factors of the external environment. According to the premise of taking into account a significant number of constraints, the objective function of planning is to reach each UAV from the group to the end point (mission point). Planning the UAVs group route is a complex task of its multi-criteria optimization and solution in the presence of constraints. With the increase in the UAVs number, the analytical space of the route planning task will grow exponentially. The existing methods of planning the of the UAVs group movement route have a number of disadvantages, therefore, the development of a comprehensive method that reduces computational requirements, saves time, allows to plan routes in real time, and is also more effective from the group's mission performance point of view. The article defines the requirements for the UAVs group routes planning promising methods: complex modeling of many factors of the external environment influence; planning in real time; integration of planning methods. Combining the characteristics of heuristic algorithms and machine learning methods also allows you to obtain complex methods that have a higher adaptability to the conditions of the external environment and expand the range of applications.

The article analyses the fact of the first combat robots’ application in a real battle in Iraq. In addition, it was found that modern combat robotic platforms from Ukrainian manufacturers can carry out reconnaissance, surveillance, and target detection missions already today, as well as providing fire support and security of the military on the front lines. It has been studied that deterring aggression and finding ways to confront the enemy was at the head of all transformations. Obviously, it became clear that the use of robotic complexes and systems is properly reflected in the approach of our victory. The need for high-quality training of an experimental combat unit (combat units, groups of scientific and technical support, representatives of manufacturers of robotic complexes (systems)) was substantiated. Such training is carried out both in peacetime and wartime. This is a planned, systematic training of the formation’s personnel, units, and subunits, carried out by commanders, staffs and units of educational work. It provides activities, the most important of which are: tasks and requirements definition; the educational process development; program development; comprehensive provision planning and control methods organization. The composition and duties of the experimental combat unit have been determined. We emphasize the need to create a modular mobile training and testing complex to unify such training. We conducted an analysis of the combat unit training by the sample’s manufacturer according to its own training programs, that are approved by the head of the enterprise and agreed by the military administration body, in whose interests it is planned to supply armament and military equipment. The stages of preparation and the procedure of combat coordination of an experimental combat unit are proposed. It is proposed to carry out the preparation and the tests themselves in 2 stages. The first stage is carried out at the training ground of a designated military unit. The second stage is carried out in combat conditions (in the areas of hostilities). Also, the main key points of each stage are defined. The usefulness of this article’s material lies in the fact that, based on the analysis of the programs and methods of the manufacturers, we make our proposal regarding the order of organization and the procedure of the preparation itself.

Abstract. The article considers the technology of bulk cargo transportation option by accelerated trains, based on two separate routes that allow delivering goods to the countries of the European Union by land in the West of our country and through the ports of the Black Sea coast. Approaches that allow not only to choose the best option for the bulk cargo transporting by accelerated trains technology, but also improving the vehicles use under the conditions of limited resources are considered. The rationality of measures to improve the quality of freight transportation organization is not only the economic effect from freight charges, but also the time of delivery. The analysis of the generalized economic-mathematical model of container trains, that includes the main criteria and parameters taking into account the technical equipment of the chain and the technology of transit flows, when service channels of different capacity in can exist each part of the logistic transport chain, with different costs and effects on the development of road traffic. The model of a freight container train proposed in this section improves the technology for the goods in containers transportation by the railways. During the delivery and export of goods by vehicles model development, it is necessary to take into account the fact that under present conditions, the volume of small-scale transport is almost zero. This is because they are expensive (high transport fee), have low product safety and long delivery time. Almost all of them are now transported by road, so it is not recommended to consider them as a promising direction in the further development of services for the import and export of goods. After calculating the savings from car turnover by containers acceleration, it was found that shipping containers in a block container train is much more efficient than in a block group, as cargo delivery times are faster, ranging from 8.05 to 9.08 days. We get savings from acceleration of car turnover by containers for a year within 430 - 450 thousand UAH. Economic consequences of introduction of container trains in Ukraine for 5 years of operation is 1 965 128 UAH for the route (S1) and 1 979 142 UAH for the route (S2). The proposed approaches prospect of development may be clarified by predicting the volumes of transport and the costs of components associated with the transport of goods in containers, by using stochastic modeling methods and artificial intelligence.

The article examines the essence of the defense resources financial management, institutional and legal support, as well as the practice of its modernization in the leading countries of the world and Ukraine under the conditions of a full-scale war. According to the theoretical and institutional aspects analysis results, the concepts of " defense resources financial management" and "defense resources financial management system" were clarified, and the main principles and elements of the mechanism of its implementation were outlined. An assessment of the modern world practice of defense resources financial management was carried out on the example of the US Armed Forces in terms of institutional infrastructure, regulations, standards and tools. The main determinants of the US Armed Forces financial management are established: combat capability, human capital and environmental protection according to ESG principles and Sustainable Development Goals. The components of improving the system of financial management of Ukraine’s defense resources in accordance with the implementation of NATO financial management standards and regulations have been identified. A thorough analysis of the distribution of expenditures and the credits granting under budget programs in accordance with the goals of state policy in 2020-2023 and projected for 2024-2025, of individual defense budget expenditures of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine in accordance with the budget request for 2024-2026 raised questions about the impact of budget defense expenditures for the development of Ukraine's economy. The existence of the specified positive influence was proved by means of correlation-regression analysis based on the data of budget expenditures in the time horizon of 2014-2023, with the period before the full-scale invasion of the aggressor country being singled out. However, the scientific hypothesis has not been confirmed for the US economy, that is, military spending is not characterized by a significant impact on the US GDP.

This article analyzes the use of artificial intelligence technologies in military systems. Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the modern areas of information technology. The history of human-like mechanisms development dates back to ancient times and has gone through a complex evolutionary path from myths and legends about the first androids, mechanical chess players and other complex mechanisms with human behaviour to modern autonomous robots. The first research on AI in the modern sense began almost immediately since the appearance of the first computers. Since the late 1950s, AI researchers have been trying to create smart machines that mimic the brain. AI has become a key technology in various industries, including the military, in recent decades. Thanks to its characteristics, AI transforms traditional strategies and tactics into a military art. Various aspects of the artificial intelligence use are discussed, in particular autonomous weapons systems, forecasting and analytics, cybersecurity and strategic planning. The advantages and opportunities provided by the use of artificial intelligence by military formations are highlighted, as well as attention is drawn to the ethical and legal aspects of this issue. Artificial intelligence technologies open up new opportunities for the military in many aspects, from autonomous systems to analytics and strategic planning. However, it is also important to take into account the ethical and legal aspects of these technologies use, as well as the risks associated with their implementation. A balanced approach to the use of artificial intelligence will help ensure its effective application in military systems. The article focuses on the importance of a balanced approach to the artificial intelligence technologies use for military purposes, taking into account their capabilities and risks.

Since the late 1950s, AI researchers have been trying to create smart machines that mimic the brain. \u0000AI has become a key technology in various industries, including the military, in recent decades. Thanks to its characteristics, AI transforms traditional strategies and tactics into a military art. Various aspects of the artificial intelligence use are discussed, in particular autonomous weapons systems, forecasting and analytics, cybersecurity and strategic planning. The advantages and opportunities provided by the use of artificial intelligence by military formations are highlighted, as well as attention is drawn to the ethical and legal aspects of this issue. Artificial intelligence technologies open up new opportunities for the military in many aspects, from autonomous systems to analytics and strategic planning. However, it is also important to take into account the ethical and legal aspects of these technologies use, as well as the risks associated with their implementation. A balanced approach to the use of artificial intelligence will help ensure its effective application in military systems. \u0000The article focuses on the importance of a balanced approach to the artificial intelligence technologies use for military purposes, taking into account their capabilities and risks.","PeriodicalId":515274,"journal":{"name":"Випробування та сертифікація","volume":"110 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141667112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The armoring of the civilian vehicles during martial law requires the search for new parameters selecting methods that provide the required indicators of dynamic properties. The additional armored sheets installation on ordinary civilian vehicles leads to the weight increase, the center of mass position change and dynamic properties deterioration. Therefore, the ordinary civilian vehicles armoring can also be considered from the perspective of large-scale modeling. One of the ways to ensure the necessary dynamic indicators of the ordinary civilian vehicles when armoring is to use the theory of large-scale modeling due to the use of the mass scale as the main scale. In the study, using the theory of similarity, a system of scale coefficients was developed for choosing the main design parameters of armored vehicles. The dependences of engine power, wheel diameter and rigid suspension and tires, engine and transmission torques on the car reservation coefficient are obtained. The value of the indicator of the relevant parameters of the vehicle degree is given. The higher the degree indicator, the higher the sensitivity of the vehicle parameter to increase when armoring. It was determined that different physical (mechanical) quantities have different sensitivity to the increase in the weight of the vehicle. The greatest sensitivity is the value of the engine torque, and the least is the linear dimension. These dependencies can be used in the process of designing a car armoring. In addition, it was determined that there is a relationship between the maximum permissible parameter measurement error during dynamic tests of full-scale models and the maximum permissible parameter measurement error during full-scale machine testing. Іmproved requirements for the dynamic parameters measurement accuracy during armored vehicles tests are considered. During armored vehicles tests, the maximum permissible error of dynamic parameters measuring increases, which makes it possible not to use more complex measuring and recording equipment.
