Розвиток телекомунікаційних технологій, в тому числі й радіорелейних та тропосферних, актуалізує проблему підвищення стійкості мереж у зв’язку з постійним підвищенням вимог до якості їх функціонування. Особливої уваги на теперішній час, враховуючи досвід ООС, потребує необхідність вдосконалення методів упередження та нейтралізації негативних впливів на телекомунікаційні мережі, які в наш час постійно вдосконалюються та відбуваються в формах, яких раніше не існувало. Збільшується кількість випадків негативних впливів на телекомунікаційні мережі, які наносять шкоду не тільки фізичній структурі мережі, а й логічній, що, в свою чергу, вимагає розглядати питання оцінки підвищення живучості не тільки в аспекті структурної живучості, а й в аспекті продуктивності програмного управління різнорідним трафіком. Додатково необхідно приділити увагу безпеці функціонування з’єднань та передачі інформації по ним. Метою даної статті є аналіз найбільш актуальних методів та методик забезпечення та підвищення необхідного рівня живучості та звуження кола наукових досліджень для подальшої оптимізації або пошуку більш вдалої комбінації методів чи створення вдосконаленої методики для підвищення ефективності у вирішенні проблем пов’язаних з забезпеченням необхідного рівня живучості телекомунікаційних мереж та систем. При дослідженнях живучості можливо використовувати ряд різних теоретичних підходів і, таким чином, застосування різних методів аналізу: теоретико-ігрових, імовірнісних, детермінованих, графо-аналітичних. Імовірнісний і детермінований підходи є найбільш розробленими для технічних цілей, а тому є перспективними для вдосконалення та оптимізації.

The effectiveness of air defense troops and facilities depends significantly on the functioning of the enemy's reconnaissance system. The timeliness of the issuance of information on enemy air attack means to anti-aircraft missile divisions is crucial for their reliable defeat. Uncertainty of air attack means, namely the height of their use and directions of attack on troops and objects, necessitates the need to consider several options for building the spatial structure of the enemy's reconnaissance system in order to optimize it. The article proposes a method for determining the rational spatial structure of the enemy reconnaissance system, in which the optimization criterion is the effectiveness of the enemy reconnaissance system, which is estimated by the mathematical expectation of the relative number of air attack means from the strike, detected and timely information divisions. The effectiveness of the enemy's reconnaissance system is defined as the product of the probability of identifying the objectives of the enemy's reconnaissance system and the probability of timely issuance of information on them to anti-aircraft missile divisions. The probability of detecting the target of the enemy air reconnaissance system is determined taking into account the overlap of the radar field, the probability of timely delivery of information to anti-aircraft missile divisions using the normal Laplace distribution function. When assessing the effectiveness of the enemy air reconnaissance system, the possible ranges of heights of the use of air attack means and the directions of their strikes on troops and objects are taken into account. The distribution of air attack means by altitude ranges is carried out by the heuristic method. Coefficients of importance (danger) of directions of blows of means of air attack are defined with use of an expert method of ranking. Variants of the spatial structure of the enemy reconnaissance system differ in the location of radar stations on the ground. A variant of the spatial structure is considered rational, which corresponds to the maximum efficiency of the enemy's reconnaissance system. The procedure for using the developed method of determining the rational spatial structure of the enemy air reconnaissance system is shown by example. The technique can be used during the organization of reconnaissance of the enemy air by the control bodies of radio troops.

Radical changes in the nature and significant increase in the dynamics of mine warfare in modern military conflicts are the result of shifting priorities towards the use of the latest models of minesweepers and improvised explosive devices with mostly non-contact target sensors. This state of affairs has exacerbated the problem of countering explosive threats, and with it the need to ensure the required level of efficiency, safety and cost of search and detection of explosive devices with non-contact (electronic) target sensors. Existing technical means of search and detection of explosive objects, as a rule, in most cases are based on the use of active electromagnetic methods. The approach of such search devices to explosive devices with magnetic (non-contact) target sensors or those controlled by radio, often led to an unauthorized explosion and as a consequence to losses among the sappers. It is established that almost all non-contact sensors of the target are united by a common feature - the presence of semiconductor elements in their composition, or transitions such as metal-oxide-metal. These features are the basis of modern means of detecting explosive devices with non-contact target sensors by nonlinear radar. However, the requirements for the safety of using search engines of this type in the manual version or on land vehicles are still problematic. One way to resolve this contradiction is to install search engines on a remote-controlled platform. Moreover, there is an urgent need to substantiate the tactical and technical requirements for this type of equipment when changing the conditions and methods of their application. Based on the analysis of previous studies, both domestic and foreign experts, on the use of electromagnetic methods of search and detection of man-made objects in sheltered environments (soil, snow, water, etc.), proposed an improved mathematical model of search and detection of explosive devices with non-contact target sensors nonlinear radar. This model, in contrast to the existing ones, takes into account the probabilistic nature of the search process and the plane indicators of the guaranteed detection zone of devices with non-contact target sensors by nonlinear radar, functional indicators of electromagnetic wave propagation in free space and shelter. In the field of nonlinear radar, the concept of "zone of guaranteed detection of explosive devices with non-contact target sensors" was introduced for the first time, the essence of which is to ensure the implementation of the requirements for equivalent probability of detection at a level not lower than specified. In addition, the proposed mathematical model, among other technical characteristics, allows to set the performance parameters of the remote-controlled radar complex search and detection of explosive devices with non-contact target sensors by nonlinear radar. The proposed improvements of the mathematical model and the sequence of calculations will increase the accuracy of the results of modeling the search and detection of explosive devices with non-contact target sensors in sheltered environments when substantiating the requirements for demining of this type.

In the article, the authors analyzed the existing approaches to the formation of tactical and technical requirements for promising (those that are being modernized) models of weapons and military equipment (AME). Taking into account the significant role of simulation in the course of support of research and development work in the creation of new (those that are being modernized) weapons and military equipment, the capabilities of the JCATS combat simulation system (SIM) were analyzed. As a result of the analysis of the structure and content of the components of the JCATS SIM database, it was possible to determine the approaches to the formation of initial data to create the outline of promising (those that are being modernized) weapons and military equipment in a simulation environment. Indicators and criteria were identified in the JCATS SIM database, which correspond to the indicators and criteria that form the appearance of real weapons and military equipment, as well as approaches were formulated for using them to substantiate the tactical and technical requirements for promising (to those that are being modernized) samples WME. In the article, using the example of a separate model of weapons and military equipment (small arms), the procedure for the formation of the JCATS SIM database for a certain type of ammunition was presented and the results of the impact of the ammunition on the target were obtained. It also shows the procedure for creating a database for artillery ammunition and the possibility of assessing the effectiveness of their impact on the target.

At the present time, the most relevant issues are the assessment of the ITSVP when choosing the option of building the ITSVP at the stage of communication planning. Evaluation of ITS is not an end in itself, but serves as the basis for a quantitative substantiation of the decision to organize communications. This determines the urgency of the problem of choosing an option for building a military information and telecommunications system. Complex systems (which also include the communication system), being in different conditions (situations, modes), reveal different system properties, including those incompatible with any of the situations separately. However, one cannot be neglected, since each characterizes some property of the phenomenon under study, and none of them can be accepted as the only one, since it does not express all its properties. The development of a formal apparatus for solving parametric problems of assessing the effectiveness of the functioning of a communication system provides for a systemic relationship of contradictory indicators. Based on this, an improved methodology for choosing an option for constructing an information and telecommunications system for military purposes is proposed, which differs from the existing one in that the person who makes a decision to organize communications, from certain possible options, chooses a rational one through the use of methods of analyzing hierarchies and taxonomy.

Modern radio engineering systems are characterized by the use of radio waves with a complex internal structure as information carriers. Such radio waves are characterized by an increased transmission spectrum width and programmed pseudo-random tuning of the operating frequency. Along with this, signals with an increased transmission spectrum width are related in their characteristics to white noise signals, which reduces their electromagnetic availability of electronic intelligence systems. So, the article presents an improved methodology for assessing the secrecy of the functioning of radio technical means of a military communications system, built on radio communications, which use a complex structure of a transmission signal as an information message. The main criterion for assessing the secrecy of the functioning of radio technical means was chosen the indicator of the energy secrecy of transmission signals, namely, the indicator of electromagnetic availability. Taking into account the indicator of the electromagnetic availability of radio emission sources with complex signals makes it possible to more realistically assess the secrecy of the functioning of radio equipment of the military communications system, in turn, determines the factors for making informed decisions regarding the choice of operating modes of radio communications in order to conceal the functioning of the elements of the military communications system.

The article is devoted to the study of the urgent issue of forecasting onboard equipment failures. The effectiveness of combat missions by aircraft crews of the Armed Forces of Ukraine depends on the operational and high-quality preparation of on-board equipment for flights. The long life of the existing fleet of aircraft requires constant analysis of the technical condition of the equipment to prevent failures. Existing forecasting methods are associated with the analysis of statistical data and probability metrics. A possible alternative way to monitor the health of equipment is to use neural networks. The problems of constructing the topology of the failure forecasting neural network is associated with the need to select significant factors affecting the equipment during operation. The article discusses the most important factors of influence in terms of application conditions, quality and operating conditions. Dependencies between the parameters for one object of study and the parameters of objects of the same type under various conditions of application are revealed. The following equipment parameters are selected for use in the construction of a neural network: total equipment operating time, equipment operating time after the last restoration, total number of on-off cycles and a failure cycle coefficient. For each of the parameters, expressions are given that are formulated taking into account the characteristics of the technical and flight operation of aircraft. So, the value of the operating time of the facility is calculated as the total time of the equipment in flight and on the ground when performing all types of work. The number of on-off cycles is proposed to be calculated based on the minimum amount of equipment used during operation. A failure cyclicality factor is also introduced, which is proposed to be calculated on the basis of a frequency analysis of the serial number of the failure and the operating time of the object to the specific failure.

The existence of a full-fledged system of training military specialists, which meets the needs of access to content and forms the relevant competencies of students, is an integral feature of higher military education. The article analyzes the architecture and classification of expert training systems for the training of military specialists that can be used for training. Expert training system for military training is based on three groups of principles: cybernetic, pedagogical, psychological, which are the basis for the design, storage and transformation of information, determine the forms of teacher activity and features of formation, functioning and forms of manifestation in relation to the human psyche. The architecture of expert-training systems of military specialists training is described, which interacts with the following categories of users: listener who uses the knowledge embedded in the system; expert teacher who transfers knowledge to the system; expert psychologist, who ensures the adaptation of the system to the individual characteristics of the listener; subject matter expert who transfers professional knowledge and shares experience. The conditions on which the efficiency of expert-educational systems depends are presented: high speed of information processing; accumulation and application of learning outcomes of students; adaptation of the system to the level of knowledge of students. The expert training system for the training of military specialists is classified according to global criteria: by the type of task to be solved; in real time; by the degree of integration with other programs; by degree of access. The criterion for the type of problem to be solved includes: data interpretation, diagnostics, monitoring, design, forecasting, planning, training. The criterion for real-time communication consists of statistical, quasi-dynamic and dynamic expert training systems. Integration is provided with autonomous and hybrid expert training systems. The degree of access is divided into open and closed. The use of expert training systems for the training of military specialists is based on information technology training with the use of distributed knowledge.

The article proposes an approach to the formalization of knowledge about the process of determining an appropriate flight strategy for an unmanned aerial vehicle at the stage of planning aerial reconnaissance using Hebrew-contiguous methods, which are the best in terms of taking into account practice, experience, intuition, knowledge of decision-makers , when conducting aerial reconnaissance, and are looking for solutions within some pidpros-tor of possible acceptable solutions. The developed method allows one to formalize factors, takes into account the tactical conditions of aerial reconnaissance, the influence of the external environment on the flight range of an unmanned aerial vehicle in the form of linguistic and interval-estimated parameters for each option, which allow for uncertainty. The initial data of the method is a recommendation regarding an expedient flight strategy for an unmanned aerial vehicle, containing information on the list of the most important reconnaissance objects, the start point, the end of the flight route, the initial flight path, the recommended flight altitudes in dangerous areas, the method search and inspection of miscevoste. Based on the structure of fuzzy production rules by the MISO-structure, in the conclusion of which real numbers (the number of the expedient strategy for the flight of an unmanned aerial vehicle) are used, which is proposed as a fuzzy inference algorithm in a fuzzy logical system of interval type 2 for derivation of inference for fuzzy sets of the second order. It is substantiated that the components of the architecture of a fuzzy logical system of interval type 2 provide the implementation of the corresponding inference mechanism, which is a set of inference rules and methods of their application.

In modern conditions, namely, in the transformational processes of managing defense resources, aimed at developing the capabilities of the armed forces, making managerial decisions in the organizational systems of military and civilian control, the method of expert assessment is widely used. The expert assessment method is the basis for the work of commissions to check the state of military and industrial facilities, their level of readiness and security, including on the rational allocation of resources, the use of economic opportunities, mobilization training, and the like. The expert assessment also retains its relevance for the future during research exercises, checking the combat and mobilization readiness and security of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, facilities and sectors of the national economy and other state institutions that ensure the national security of the state and its components - military and economic security. Over the years of application, the mechanisms of expert assessment have been thoroughly worked out, requirements have been formed for the procedure for selecting experts, their level of competence, assessment procedures, the procedure for processing the assessment results and other activities. However, in expert assessment it is assumed that all experts are certainly qualified and objective. And if there are subjective errors in their conclusions, then they are levelled out by increasing the number of experts and repetitions of expert evaluation procedures. At the same time, under any circumstances and conditions of expert assessment, the role of the “human factor” remains, in other words, the possibility of bias, corruption in the actions and assessments of experts is not excluded. Especially such factors are possible in the course of managing large material and financial resources, in the case of a limited number of experts. And the consequences of these factors can lead to the irrational use of material values, significant damage, including in the process of developing the capabilities of the armed forces, combat and mobilization readiness. Thus, when applying expert assessment, especially in measures to manage the distribution of large material and financial resources, the problem of a reliable examination of the results of expert assessment is urgent. Such an examination, preferably, in addition to being reliable, should not be cumbersome, expensive, simple, and accessible for practical use. In this paper, on the basis of the analysis of “mechanisms of reasonable control” developed in the theory of active systems, a mechanism for checking (examination) of the results of expert assessment is proposed.

The article discusses the topical issue of improving the set of indicators of the cyber security system in information and telecommunication networks. Analyzed the latest research and publications on this issue. The analysis and experience of the anti-terrorist operation and the operation of the Joint Forces in the East of Ukraine shows that in the conditions of modern hostilities, the effective functioning of the cyber security system will be in a harsh time frame and increased spatial distances between information and telecommunication nodes and in conditions of electronic and fire exposure of the enemy. It was also found that, in the general case, the number of indicators of the effectiveness of the functioning of the cyber security system in information and telecommunication networks exceeds several dozen. The article presents their systematization and grouping according to the relevant criteria. The article discusses a methodological approach to solving an applied problem, which is based on the application of the method of convolution of performance indicators. An integral indicator of efficiency is proposed, a criterion for assessing the efficiency of the functioning of the cyber security system in the information and telecommunication networks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The proposed improved set of indicators of the effectiveness of the functioning of the cyber security system in the information and telecommunication networks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which, in contrast to the existing ones, takes into account additional indicators that are due to the peculiarities of conducting operations in modern conditions and also comprehensively characterizes the effectiveness of the functioning of the cyber security system in the information and telecommunication networks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This makes it possible to comprehensively assess the effectiveness of the functioning of the cyber security system in the information and telecommunication networks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as a whole, individual elements and its components and their contribution to the overall level of efficiency of the communication system.

When carrying out measures to popularize and support the population of Ukraine's acquisition of full membership in the EU and NATO, first of all, it is necessary to make sure that, as a result of the implementation of these measures, the system for the development of public opinion of the population will remain in a constant process of desired changes without uncontrollable disturbances. The main objective of the study is to test the stability and sustainability of the development of civic thought in the right direction, to identify and anticipate unwanted disturbances in the relations of citizens of different political orientations. The article discusses the scientific substantiation of the features of the application of the fractal analysis method in determining the sustainability of the development of public opinion of the state in the implementation of a strategic narrative when carrying out appropriate measures to popularize and support by the population the acquisition of full membership of Ukraine in the EU. By calculating the fractality index, it has been proved that the process of development of public opinion of the population of Ukraine regarding accession to the EU, which is represented by a time series based on the results of generalized statistical data from a survey of the population of Ukraine in the period from 2002 to 2019, is constant. The results of the study show that the implementation of the control actions of the staff structures and subdivisions of the strategic communications system of the Ministry of Defense and the Armed Forces of Ukraine, calculated taking into account the forecast data for 2020-2021, will not cause significant uncontrollable disturbances, and the process of changes in public opinion of the population of Ukraine will take place in constant movement of the desired changes in accordance with the strategic narrative of the state. This will make it possible to carry out a scientifically grounded distribution of the predicted total volume of tasks between various structural divisions of the strategic communications system of the Ministry of Defense and the Armed Forces of Ukraine, with the obligatory consideration of the characteristics of various target audiences.

Training of gunners in a special period, when it is necessary to provide a high level of knowledge and skills in a short time, which can be provided by simulation modeling, namely the use of the JCATS (Joint Conflict and Tactical Simulation) system. The article discusses the use of JCATS for the training of artillery units, since the training of artillery units requires significant expenditures of material and technical resources (fuel, ammunition, motor resources, etc.). The purpose of this article is to analyze the capabilities and experience of using JCATS when conducting planned brigade command and staff exercises with active OMBR and OTBR when simulating the combat actions of artillery units at the center of simulation of the Ivan Charnyakhovsky National University of Defense of Ukraine from 2018 to 2020.

When developing methods for generating and correlating signal processing of promising radio communications, one of the priority tasks is to ensure the minimum complexity of correlation signal processing at the reception. The paper proposes the structure of a device for correlation signal processing with adaptation for the information transmission rate based on perfect binary matrices. The correlation processing device includes: Cooley-Tukey direct and inverse transform devices, a memory device, a spectra multiplier and a solver. The total computational complexity of the algorithm for correlation processing of signals with adaptation to the information transmission rate based on perfect binary matrices is calculated. The dependences of the computational complexity of the algorithm for correlation processing of signals with adaptation to the information transfer rate based on perfect binary matrices and the algorithm for correlation processing by direct Fourier transform on the length of the code sequence are investigated. According to the results of the study, it was found that with the length of the code sequence exceeding eight bits, the computational complexity of the correlation processing algorithm by the direct Fourier transform is greater than the computational complexity of the correlation signal processing algorithm with adaptation to the information transfer rate based on perfect binary matrices. The gain achieved in the amount of computations of the proposed algorithm in comparison with the correlation processing algorithm by the direct Fourier transform is calculated. The dependence of the payoff is investigated, it is achieved in the amount of computations, on the length of the code sequence, as a result of which it is established that the payoff is directly proportional to the length of the code sequence and inversely proportional to the doubled sum of the binary logarithm of the length of the code sequence and one. When the length of the code sequence is more than eight bits, the gain achieved in the amount of computation is greater than one. Reducing the computational complexity of the signal correlation processing algorithm at the reception allows you to reduce the mass-dimensional characteristics of the entire system, its cost and power consumption. Prospects for further research are the study of the structural and energy secrecy of signals with adaptation to the information transmission rate based on perfect binary matrices.

Analysis of wars and armed conflicts in recent years and the implementation of tasks by military units (units) in the Joint Forces operation (anti-terrorist operation) confirms that the success of tasks of mechanized, tank, assault and other military units (units) will depend on the effectiveness of troops (forces) support systems. The location of military units (units) conducting combat operations in a constant state of combat will depend on the efficiency of the support system, ie how the logistics units will deliver materials, fuel and lubricants, restore damaged samples of weapons and military equipment, etc. At the same time, the effectiveness of their operation will fully depend on the timely and high-quality restoration of rear equipment, which received combat or operational damage, repair and recovery units (units). Therefore, the article proposes a methodological approach to substantiate the composition of repair units for the restoration of rear equipment of the operational group of troops, which is based on solving the optimization problem of integer nonlinear programming to minimize costs for repair and maintenance of backup samples of rear equipment.

Assessment of the information space allows you to determine the possible causes (conditions) of the crisis and the characteristics of the information impact for any information activities that will be planned. One of the promising such scientific studies is the substantiation of a method for monitoring information impact in the interests of providing information activities. The essence of the information impact monitoring method is to assess information activities, namely: identifying information impact; the level of information impact; formation of conclusions and decisions on the need to counteract information impact; planning of countermeasures, approval of a plan of countermeasures; implementation of countermeasures according to the plan. In each information event there are certain indicators by which the characteristics of information are assessed and the conditions are determined by which a destructive orientation can be carried out for any information processes (actions, facts) in the information space of the country. Considering that these components have their own informational correction, in particular, they are found in the information space of the state (actions, facts), or phenomena can reduce the level of the moral and psychological state of the personnel of troops (forces) to a state when the personnel are not able to effectively perform tasks as intended , then in the above method it is proposed to consider these issues in two directions. These areas are the level of operational monitoring of the analysis of current information and the level of operational monitoring of the forecast of the development of information surges.

Analysis of the performance of tasks by military units (subdivisions) in local wars, armed conflicts during the performance of tasks in international peacekeeping and security operations suggests that one of the main factors influencing the success of the tasks is the availability of working models of weapons and military equipment . At the same time, one of the main sources of receipt in military units (subdivisions) of working samples of armaments and military equipment during hostilities is their return from stationary and mobile repair and rehabilitation military units (subdivisions) after repair and restoration works. The development of the logistics system in the Armed Forces of Ukraine at all levels of the hierarchy requires the search for new methodological approaches to the provision of troops (forces), namely to increase the efficiency of tasks to restore damaged weapons and military equipment. Therefore, the paper proposes a mathematical model for evaluating the effectiveness of the system of restoration of armaments and military equipment and providing material resources by the probability of performing a set of works performed for a given time. For this purpose, a semi-Markov model of the functioning of the subsystem for the restoration of armaments and military equipment and the provision of material resources in the general logistics system of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was used. To determine the performance of the logistics system, it was specified that at the initial time the system is in the appropriate state. If there is a transition from one state to another, then in this state the system is a random time with an arbitrary distribution function. Thus, it is possible to answer questions about the functioning of the logistics system, in particular about the time spent in the appropriate set of states, the time of operation until the transition to the next state. The transition of the system from one state to another occurs with probability. Similarly, the stationary probabilities of the weapons and military equipment and logistics system in all other states are located.

The experience of modern armed conflicts and exercises shows the need for a detailed assessment of enemy targets, especially during the planning and conduct of raids. The article considers approaches to assessing the importance of enemy objects, which are based on the calculation of combat potentials and determining the coefficients of operational and tactical importance of enemy objects. The authors identify one of the main problems - the lack of a common understanding of the order of determining the importance (priority) of enemy objects, especially when planning raids. The purpose of this article is to consider the application of the method of hierarchy analysis to determine the coefficients of operational and tactical importance of enemy objects during the planning and conduct of raids. The authors disclose the general provisions and algorithm of decision-making using this method. To better understand the procedure for applying the method of analysis of hierarchies, an example of forming a hierarchical image of the problem, the procedure for forming matrices of pairwise comparisons depending on the level of hierarchy and their completion, mathematical processing of results, the procedure for checking expert judgments and the whole hierarchy. It is noted that this technique is part of a mathematical model of target distribution of various types of fire on enemy targets. The application of the technique will allow to determine the possibilities of the raid detachment to destroy (disable) enemy objects.

The article discusses the preconditions and origins of large-scale migration processes taking place in the territories of the European Union (EU) over the past decade and presents a study of the relationship between migration flows and modern hybrid wars, referring to the correlation of dissimilar warfare conditions. both military and non-military means of hybrid expansion of the Russian Federation. The description of the procedures representing the use of conventional and non-traditional means of influence of Russia, as well as its state and non-state actors, which are aimed at provoking instability, disorder of state-building processes in Ukraine and the European Union. The study is important for the regional security of Eastern European countries since on the one hand, hybrid threats from Russia are seen as fundamental to Ukraine's national security, and, on the other hand, as social tensions caused by refugee crises and related fears, which are major factors in political instability and social fragmentation around the world, and therefore the provocation of large-scale migration flows may be a new form of creeping hybrid expansion of the Russian Federation, carried out in order to achieve the latter's ambitious goals.

In the current context, the most prominent menace to global security prevails, the same it was 50 years ago, the feasibility of using the nuclear arsenal. This arsenal continues to be renewed, incorporating increasingly advanced technologies and state-of-the-art vectors capable of transporting these means at very high speeds and almost unlimited distances. A significant feature of modern military conflicts is the multidimensional nature, specific to hybrid warfare. Unconventional hybrid threats should also consider the possible use of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear weapons of mass destruction (CBRN WMD) and the generation of destruction or sabotage incidents, which may result in contamination with toxic industrial materials (TIMs). The current operational environment appears crystallized in a new, more refined, and sophisticated form of the Cold War, with two major classical strategic blocs, namely NATO and partner countries, on the one hand, and the Russian Federation as the opposite pole. The two great actors are not the only constituent elements of the current geostrategic ensemble. Added to this are the conflict in Syria, tensions in Israel and Palestine, the complicated US-Iran relationship over the last state's nuclear program, the volatility of the Kim Jong-un regime in North Korea and, last but not least, the rise of China and India as economic and military superpowers. In this study, we will detail the basics of international law in the possession, production, and use of CBRN agents, the declared arsenals of weapons of mass destruction of main world actors, and how CBRN agents had been used in recent conflicts.

An analysis of recent research and publications has shown that during emergencies, it is necessary to calculate the forces and means that can be used to eliminate them. The problem of optimizing resources during the elimination of the consequences of emergencies remains relevant today not only for Ukraine but also for the whole world. To solve these problems, mathematical models are developed depending on the state of threat sources and protection resources. In the control complex the problems of distribution of protection resources according to forecasting results are formulated. The article considers mathematical models of resource optimization to eliminate the consequences of emergencies depending on the state of sources of threats and resources of protection. The construction of these mathematical models depends on the characteristics of the area of the degree of escalation of the armed conflict in the South-East of Ukraine. After determining the amount of resources of forces and means to prevent and eliminate the consequences of emergencies, a scenario of their application is developed and the use of program-targeted approach is envisaged. This approach allows to solve the problem of resource optimization, which is considered as a process of applying resources for operations - a system of measures of the program at the stages of planning. In this case, the set of operations of the program is given by its mathematical model - a network graph, which reflects the operational composition of the program and its logical structure. As a result, there are two interpretations of the main task of resource optimization of the process (direct and inverse), which maximize the efficiency of the process through the rational use of resources. Formal formulation of problems requires the use of nonlinear programming methods to solve them. The method of indefinite Lagrange factors is used in the article. Formalization of the research problem allows to apply methods of mathematical programming and to receive its decision in the form of algorithms and mathematical models. The article highlights the scientific result, which has an applied value - a mathematical model and algorithms for solving problems of optimal resource management in preventing and eliminating the consequences of emergencies. The essence of the developed model and algorithm is to calculate the optimal allocation of resources by objects based on the assessment of threats and regulatory costs of resources and the development of the optimal program (scenario) of resource use. Based on the methods of mathematical programming, algorithms are developed, which in the presence of initial data allow to solve the problems of optimal control in the implementation of measures to prevent emergencies, eliminate their consequences, as well as optimize the program-scenario of forces during these measures. The use of these models allows to improve the quality of decision-making in relation to the creation of rational use of forces and means during the elimination of the consequences of emergencies.

Services accessible through a web interface have become an integral part of the modern world. With the growing number of Web applications, their maintenance and administration are becoming an increasingly difficult task. Thus, sooner or later almost any organization faces the task of integrating these services. The best solution to the problem described above is to deploy a corporate portal that will provide centralized access to all web services in the organization. The vast majority of Web application developers use the enterprise portal Liferay, which is a powerful and modern open-source platform, to solve these problems. Currently, it is one of the most popular solutions for building corporate portals. However, developers have a problem with the availability of materials and documentation that would fully reveal the full range of possible implementation of the functionality of the platform. Therefore, there is a need for a detailed analysis of the functionality and implementation examples based on the Liferay portal for the development of Web applications. The article analyzes the basic principle of Web application development, its implementation in the researched corporate portal Liferay, as well as in the modules available to developers. The functionality of the Liferay Digital Experience Platform (DXP) project development tool is revealed. The basic structure of the main components of the portal for the development of corporate tasks Liferay is analyzed and based on this information, effective examples of implementation of these components are analyzed, which can be used to create a structure of Web-applications of any type and with any tasks.

The rapid development, mass production, adoption and the growing number of facts of combat use in hostilities and conflicts of modern high-tech weapons systems and robotic systems (complexes) require a number of measures to create an effective system to counter them. In particular, the development of strategies and concepts, theories and tactics of countering robotic technical complexes, rethinking the canons of operational art and tactics of existing air defense in the context of combating robotic technical complexes, developing requirements for modernization and development of systems (complexes) to combat them, research, research and development work on the creation of means and systems (complexes) of counteraction to robotic complexes, organization of training of qualified specialists in their operation and combat use, scientific and pedagogical staff, etc. Given that robotic systems are special-purpose cyber physical systems and their control systems are classical cybernetic systems, priority is given to approaches to creating a single framework for combating robotic systems (those types and classes that cannot or ineffectively deal with existing means) and systems for their implementation, consisting of management bodies and appropriately equipped units, which are armed with systems (complexes) of armaments and military equipment with specific software and hardware and complexes to solve these problems. The article presents the results: analysis of the effectiveness of the use of existing weapons systems to combat small unmanned aerial vehicles of unmanned aerial complexes; vulnerability analysis of components of robotic complexes; analysis of development trends in the world's leading countries of systems (complexes) to combat robotic systems (for example, unmanned aerial vehicles of unmanned aerial complexes) in the context of the possibility and feasibility of implementing their experience in Ukraine; development of basic theoretical provisions for the formation of cyber counteraction systems for robotic technical complexes as cyber physical systems

The classification of educational process automation tools in the military education system was carried out in the paper. Based on the analysis, it was determined that one of the important factors in the effective functioning of the distance learning system is the availability of experts who monitor the quality of distance learning courses and offer methods for improving them. The method for conducting the collective examination of the effectiveness and quality of distance learning courses and processing the received expert data in an expert group was proposed in order to develop the mechanism for experts to assess the effectiveness and quality of distance learning courses. The calculation algorithm of the proposed method involves determining the professional level of experts; processing the values of indicators determined by experts; determination of the generalized value of a particular indicator; determination of the value of a generalized indicator.

The article proposes a method for determining the number of sets of the client part of the Unified State Register of Conscripts. The methodology reflects a logical sequence of actions, which consists of three stages: formation of initial data, determination of basic indicators and determination of the number of sets of the client part of the Unified State Register of Conscripts, with the initial data of the methodology divided into six groups. The proposed methodology covers all areas of work performed by units of military commissariats, which allows: determine the number of sets of the client part of the Unified State Register of Conscripts for military registration of conscripts and conscripts in military commissariats; calculate the required number of operators of the Unified State Register of Conscripts, taking into account the tasks assigned to the structural units of military commissariats, within a certain limit of the number of servicemen and employees and redistribute responsibilities between existing officials of military commissariats.

In the article it is about method of determining the magnitude of the effect of fortification equipment on the survivability of the troops (forces) control system based on the theory of survivability evaluation of point military objects when aiming enemy fire. It is noted that characteristic of the method of determining the magnitude of the effect of fortification equipment on the survivability of the troops (forces) is the consideration of configuration of the affected area of individual elements (objects) of the troops (forces) control system, possible trajectory of flight and circular dispersion of ammunition during sighting action on them by the means of defeating the enemy. It is confirmed that proposed method of determining the magnitude of the effect of fortification equipment on the survivability of the troops (forces) control system allows to determine the sequence of actions during fortification equipment of these objects, that allow to hide as soon as possible these objects in the field fortifications and significantly complicate their detection, identification and damage during combat actions. It is noted that proposed method can be used for current forecasting of the magnitude of the effect of fortification equipment on the survivability of the troops (forces) control system and also during research on issues of survivability of the troops in modern armed conflicts.

The article analyzes the use of information technology and modern data processing methods to increase the efficiency of the personnel of the transport logistics system. The relevance and necessity of creating a logistic information system within the framework of building an operation (combat) command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) system in the Armed Forces of Ukraine is substantiated. Defined areas for the implementation of information technology, the use of communication support and the integration of information flows in transport. The main important problems and tasks in transport logistics are formed. Based on the studies, the main technological processes of data processing using information technology are determined. The information security requirements are formulated that are necessary to ensure the correct operation of transport logistics information systems. According to the results of the analysis of data processing information processes using modern information and telecommunication technologies, conclusions are drawn about the advantages of their implementation and application. The directions of further research for the construction of a logistics information system of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are identified.

One of the main technical types of military intelligence of Ukraine, which is constantly carried out (conducted) in peacetime, a special period, in the interests of national security and defense of the state and the fulfillment of tasks in operations (military operations) is electronic intelligence. Electronic intelligence extracts intelligence information by opening up the operation of electronic equipment and systems used to control troops (forces) and weapons, and also collects, processes, analyzes, and brings the intelligence obtained to specific consumers on time. For the continuous and timely provision of consumers with certain information, information (information and analytical) bodies, a set of measures is undertaken for intelligence and information activities, intelligence and information work. In the conditions of dynamism, versatility of the processes of processing, analysis, storage of large volumes of information, the key task remains to reduce the uncertainty of information caused by factors of evolutionary development, factors of the use of complex information systems in various conditions of a complex electronic and operational environment.

A methodology for predictive evaluation of the effectiveness of an asymmetric response to modern threats is presented in the interests of ensuring an adequate level of military security of the state. In the context of the integrated use of military and non-military instruments (economic, political, information-psychological, etc.), there was a need to evaluate and predict the effectiveness of the asymmetric use of military and non-military forces and means in countering force pressure and the use of military force against a state that opposes a stronger military opponent. The main limitation of the state, which conduct offensive actions, is the loss of personnel. For the state-victim of aggression, the loss of personnel, population, infrastructure, etc. in such a conflict much more. World experience shows that the state, which is significantly weak in military relations, by carrying out asymmetric measures to counter threats by military and non-military subjects of the defense forces, is capable of inflicting unacceptable damage on the enemy, including and in non-military areas of security, and thereby force an even stronger military opponent to abandon the use of military force against it. We propose the effectiveness of counteracting state aggression, which significantly dominates the target state in military "power", to assess the total level of threat de-escalation at a certain time due to the symmetric (direct military) and asymmetric (complex) counteraction of aggression in the form of conducting a local special operation. The number of local special operations is determined by the capabilities of the state-victim of aggression. Formed system of restriction and decision-making criteria defined the aggressor state to refuse further aggressive actions.

To combat groups of unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as for other tasks, the use of electromagnetic means is effective. When the distance to the group target changes, its angular size changes, therefore, the urgent task is to effectively control the radiation pattern width of the antenna system of the radiating radio equipment and the radiation power. The article describes the basic relationships for ensuring a given radiation power flux density in a given region, taking into account energy absorption in the atmosphere. The results of the analysis of antenna synthesis methods are presented and the main methods for controlling the width of the radiation pattern are substantiated: the use of aperture of variable size, as well as variation of parameters for the parametric amplitude distributions of exciting currents along the antenna aperture. The analysis of the influence of parameters on the spatial and energy parameters of the radiation field of the antennas is carried out. The developed algorithms for varying the parameters and radiation power to provide a given level of impact on the target are presented. The results obtained allow us to justify the requirements for radio equipment of electromagnetic effects (combat unmanned aerial vehicles, enemy control systems, etc.). The results can be used as part of control systems algorithms for special radio equipment.

Modern conditions for the functioning of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, first of all, the training of military specialists in the conditions of reduced time and limited capabilities of the educational and training base determines new approaches to the organization of education and training. Therefore, the article discusses some aspects of development military-technical mobile applications that can be installed on various mobile devices and used in training military specialists. The authors consider the stages of creating mobile applications, the principles of construction, functions and tasks that should be solved by mobile military-technical applications. The results of the analysis of the pedagogical experiment with students who are studying at the Department of Military Training of Sumy State University allowed us to conclude that the use of mobile applications has a positive effect on improving the quality and increase of the level of training in the learning of military-technical disciplines. The directions of further research on the development of mobile military-technical applications are proposed.

The issue of information security is an important part of the concept of introducing new information technologies in military affairs. "The one who possesses reliable and complete information - the one who owns the situation, and the one who owns the situation - that is able to manage it in his own interests, and the one who is able to manage - that is able to win." Therefore, the protection of information in the information environment of military command and control agencies is currently a very urgent problem that needs to be addressed. Information security in military command and control has a number of features compared to well-known concepts. This is due, on the one hand, to the specifics of the work of staffs as carriers of state and military secrets, and on the other, to a typical organizational and staff structure with corresponding permanent functions. The modern concept of information warfare also provides for the widespread use of special means of combat in the information space. This determines the urgency of the problem of information security.

An important condition for the stable development of the country is quality predictive research, in international practice better known as foresight. In this paper, authors analyze the most popular methods of technological foresight, which are used both in Ukraine and in other countries. The positive and negative traits of each of them are determined. This research showed that the most common methods of technological foresight are Delphi, SWOT analysis, expert panels, scenarios, modeling, bibliometric and patent analysis, etc. The analysis also indicated that methods, such as benchmarking, polling, brainstorming, roadmaps and scenarios, conferences, seminars and SWOT analysis cannot be applied to technological foresight in defense sphere. We also cannot talk about the use of exclusively methods of bibliometric and patent analysis, if the statistical data is not enough to predictive research. Therefore, we cannot forecast future technological directions without expert methods, but it should be borne in mind that expert estimates always have an error. The authors proposed a new method of technological foresight to determine the list of critical technologies in the defense sector of Ukraine - the method of critical technologies. It combines expert methods (Delphi and expert panel method) and statistical methods (patent and bibliometric analysis). The paper describes the complete algorithm of conducting predictive research regarding to determine the critical technologies list in the defense sector of Ukraine. In addition, the full decision-making structure the selection of technologies to the list of critical ones was demonstrated, with a description of the composition of the expert commission and generalized selection criteria. A new principle is proposed for cutting off non-priority technologies based on differentiation of the approximated function and determination of the point of equal increments of abscissa and ordinate. The algorithm involves carrying out two stages of the survey, the Delphi method and method of pairwise comparisons, bibliometric and patent analysis. As a result of the foresight by the method of critical technologies, we get an objective ranking of critical technologies.

When designing automated systems for command and control of troops and weapons, an important role is given to the form and volume of information transmitted information. Information in the control loop comes from sensors that make up the monitoring system and continuously monitor the sources and objects of monitoring. The control and communication system of a group object of radio monitoring is a complex hierarchical structure. The number of sources that operate in the interests of providing a control system exceeds the number of available forces and means that carry out radio monitoring. There is a discrepancy in the recognition of objects and sources of radio monitoring: identification of the object of observation, the number of signs. Therefore, it is necessary to solve the multicriteria optimization problem for identifying the operating mode of radio monitoring sources for guaranteed determination of the state of the control system and communication of the group object of radio monitoring, which consists in choosing those sources whose utility is greatest. The proposed methodology for the rational distribution of information in automated control systems by troops and weapons, by selecting the most important sources of radio monitoring and rationalizing the number of gradations of radio monitoring objects to ensure a given probability of correct recognition and guaranteed determination of their condition.

The scientific article summarizes the main threats to national security, describes the operation of the Joint Forces in eastern Ukraine, border security and reveals the peculiarities of using forces and facilities of border guard detachments of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine in the area of the aforementioned operation. The complex of actions carried out by border guard detachments of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine to counter threats and challenges that negatively affect the state of border security was summarized. The classification of codes for the situational aggravations is given and the indexes of each type of possible danger in the area of responsibility of the border guard detachments are organized according to the importance of values. It is established that in conditions of aggravation of the situation for functioning of the border guard detachments in the area of the Joint Forces operation will be characterized by a "green" information code at the levels of aggravation from “4” to “1”, where: “4” – to react it is enough regular forces and facilities of a border guard detachment; “3” – it is necessary to deploy the Ready Reserve and the standby forces of neighbouring border guard detachments; “2” – it is necessary to deploy the Standby Reserve and the Standby Reserve of neighbouring border guard detachments; “1” – it is necessary to deploy all available resources, as well as the reserves of neighbouring border guard detachments.

To achieve the purpose of the article, the authors consider the task of scientifically substantiating the peculiarities of implementing the strategic narrative of the state based on the analysis of public opinion statistics and forecasting the scenarios of its development. In order to achieve the purpose of the article, the authors have compiled and summarized the statistical data of public opinion of Ukraine's population on joining the EU, NATO and non-aligned status over the past years. Using the method of statistical extrapolation, graphs of the statistical series of changes in public opinion were constructed, and the approximation functions for the trend of public opinion change were determined. The parameters of the approximation function are calculated and the point forecast of the change of public opinion is made. The conducted analysis gives an opportunity to determine the peculiarities of implementation of the strategic narrative of the state by the system of strategic communications and to realize the interests of the state in the form of support of the population for its strategic course for the acquisition of full membership of Ukraine in the EU and NATO. The obtained point forecast of the change of public opinion indicates the necessary minimum value of effectiveness, which should be achieved by the strategic communication system, in carrying out appropriate measures to promote and support the population of the respective course of the state not only in the controlled territories but also in the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk, Luhansk and Luhansk Of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.

The article proposes a solution to the urgent scientific task of developing a scientific and methodological apparatus for ranking intelligence sources that characterize intelligence objects in assessing the operational situation and the electronic environment in the interests of intelligence planning. The rank of intelligence sources is calculated taking into account its qualitative and quantitative characteristics. The functioning of the dependence of the rank of sources of intelligence on its intelligence value and the radio-electronic environment that is associated with them is realized by a fuzzy neural network. The result of the ranking procedure is the introduction on a variety of sources of intelligence information of the planned relationship order. Streamlining the many sources of intelligence allows us to formalize and solve the problem of quasi-optimal distribution of intelligence assets and forces.

Research on systemic problems of recognizing the level of danger of situations and preventing critical situations in complex systems of various purposes is an urgent task. This is because the partial or complete destruction of such systems causes not only catastrophic consequences for themselves, but also leads to significant losses that often exceed the cost of the systems themselves. The latter can be both material and non-material. The analysis of a number of catastrophes in different fields of human activity shows that the magnitude of losses can be much smaller if, in an emergency situation, rational decisions are made and implemented in a timely manner. One approach to addressing the challenges of identifying and preventing critical situations in complex systems is an approach based on the implementation of mechanisms for adjusting the awareness of the decision-maker. The paper formalizes the problem of increasing the reliability of data to determine the permissible time period for the formation and implementation of a solution for which the probability of transition of a certain situation in a critical, emergency or catastrophic will not exceed the set value, as well as the classification and recognition of the level of danger situations. Also, the analysis of the existing approach to solving the formulated problem in the case of applying a mechanistic approach to determining quantitative indicators of the decision-maker's awareness was made, which revealed the problematic issues that occur in its application. Based on the application of the analogy system, an approach is proposed to improve the efficiency of solving such problems and to provide software and algorithmic support for its implementation. This approach is based on establishing a list of reasons that determine the factors that may change the situation of the investigated system, their weight, options for the influence of causes on the appearance of the factor, and based on this refinement of the confidence indicator of the decision-maker. It can also be used to improve the accuracy of assessment and other quantitative indicators of a person's awareness, including completeness and timeliness. The algorithmic implementation of the author's approach for solving the problem under study allows you to automate the individual steps of solving the problem and improve the level of objectivity of the solutions.

The rapid development and widespread adoption of electronics, modern information and cyber technologies have led to the emergence of a new range of national security and defense risks and threats that are being implemented in cyberspace and (or) across cyberspace. There is a rapid growth of information and automation of all spheres of human activity, the amount of information stored, processed and transmitted, the speed of its transmission and processing, the complexity of control systems, the interaction between them and the links between management processes. Cyber threats cover all basic spheres of public activity (political, military, legal, economic, energy, infrastructure, social, spiritual, technological, etc.), destructively affecting national security as a whole.More than 60 countries, international (EU) and military-political alliances (NATO), international security organizations (OSCE) are focusing considerable efforts on providing capabilities to detect, prevent, neutralize and eliminate cyberspace threats in a timely manner, in particular in the field of defense.The results of the article are presented: analysis of the existing cyber security and cyber defense systems of the leading countries in the context of the possibility and expediency of implementing their experience in Ukraine; analysis of the prerequisites, current status and problems of the formation of cyber security and cyber defense systems in Ukraine, as well as the required level of their comprehensive provision; development of basic theoretical and applied provisions for the formation of cyber security and cyber defense systems in Ukraine.

The article discusses radar channel system integrated counter unmanned aerial vehicles [4]. As it is known, the system of complex counter includes a detection means, namely the means of radio and radar reconnaissance, electro-optical, acoustic, thermal means of detecting unmanned aerial vehicles, and paragraphs visual observation and weapons stations warfare, military laser system and heavy duty microwave radiation, firepower destruction. These means create an integrated counter unmanned aerial vehicles. For example, radar detection (radar) shows how to formalize the complex detection of unmanned aerial vehicles. A mathematical model of the radar detection is constructed based on Markov model "death and reproduction". The process of detection and identification the UAV is represented by the state graph of the channel radar detection, based on which the written system of differential equations for the probability of stay of the channel radar detection in the respective states. Found solution of the system of differential equations in the steady state. Introduced new indicators, namely: the intensity of the detecting UAV and the intensity of the correct detection of the UAV (identify aerial targets like UAVs). It is shown that the intensity of detection of the UAV depends on the probability of discovery their particular means radar (radar station), and given the intensity of the correct detection of the UAV from the characteristics of the radar detection means. A mathematical model is universal and allows to obtain the probability of detection of the UAV for any channel detection. In the article the analysis of the dependence of the probability of staging of the channel radar detection from the effective surface scattering (ESS) of the UAV and the range of detection. His given the corresponding graphs and it is concluded that the mathematical model adequately describes the discovery process of the UAV radar channel.

The analysis of the use of units and military units in local wars and armed conflicts suggests that one of the main indicators that influence the success of the task is the availability of military units (units) of working models of weapons and military equipment. At the same time, one of the main sources of receipt of able-bodied samples of weapons and military equipment in the military units (units) in the course of hostilities is the return of them from stationary and mobile repair and restoration military units (units) after the completion of measures for their restoration. Therefore, a technique for assessing the effectiveness of a recovery system is proposed to evaluate the effectiveness of weapons and military equipment recovery. The essence of which is to obtain information about the reliability of the renewal of weapons and military equipment by nomenclature in each element of the structure of the system of reconstruction, the number of recovered weapons and military equipment at each level of the hierarchy, the number of non-covered weapons repair and restoration works, the number of weapons and equipment able-bodied samples of weapons and military equipment for each day of the operation (combat). The technique allows to vary the number of repair crews and their distribution in the links of the structure. Introduction of variable operational and tactical situations is realized mainly through the working time fund.

The article provides an analysis of the experimental exploitation of samples (operating models) of a complex of special hardware for the units of information and psychological operations in the area of anti-terrorist operation. The above characteristics classify complexes of special hardware according to certain indicators of remote information management of social and individual behavior of possible objects of information and psychological influence. Using complexes of special hardware units of information and psychological operations can formulate conditions of vulnerability of behavior of target audience, which reflects dependence of change of ideas and characterizes social behavior of possible target audience. The results of the analysis provided an opportunity to evaluate the information and psychological impact of the FM radio stations. The most significant deficiencies in the formation of TV reception interference were also identified, and as a consequence the need for the station to be located 3 km away from television broadcast receivers, provided that the partners of the station allow them to be effectively used in regions with no coverage at all. With the deterioration of weather conditions, it was revealed that there is no possibility of using a satellite receiver to receive content from a set of special hardware for the units of information and psychological operations. Suppression of broadcasting of television channels on the territory of Donetsk and Luhansk regions is one of the elements of protection of the personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from negative information and psychological influence.

The article proposes the solution of the actual scientific task of improving the scientific and methodological apparatus of evaluating information documents in conducting intelligence and information activities in the military intelligence system.

Collect in a timely manner, promptly process, analyze and timely report is the main and decisive task of intelligence and information activities in the interests of decision-making. The peculiarity of modern intelligence-information activity is the solution of a wide range of intellectual tasks, the results of which are the development of information documents. Assessment of the quality of their implementation is an integral part of the evaluation of information and analytical activity as a whole.

In this article the problem of the analysis of survivability of control point system (CPS) as one of components of a problem of troops (forces) survivability is considered. By consideration of this problem decomposition of control point system of the Armed forces of Ukraine, on levels of a control system, is carried out: at strategic level – it’s a CPS of Commander-in-chief of Armed forces of Ukraine; at operatively-strategic level - CPS of Joint forces, armed services and separate arms commanders; at operative level - CPS of operative commands and air commands commanders. It is shown in articles, which are to problem questions of troops management during their deployment devoted, models, which describe survivability separate control points only, are applied. In this connection, there a methodical approach to the analysis of CPS survivability, which is based on probability theory, is offered. Survivability indicators - probability of preservation by CPS in efficient condition at corresponding level and according to a armed service, separate combat arm, operative and air commands are entered. The methodical approach to the analysis of CPS survivability with command level is depending. To check the adequacy of the methodical approach, it is considered a typical CPS main alternate CPS. This method allows to count probabilities of preservation of an efficient condition of CPS on strategic, operatively-strategic and operative levels. It is shown that the presented approach does not contradict to the theory of troops management and allows to develop a technology of requirements to survivability of CPU of the Armed Forces of Ukraine substantiation.

The approach to determining the probability of timely conduct the recovery repair taking into account limited stocks of spare parts, materials, tools and accessories (spare parts) is substantiated. An analytical expression is found to calculate the probability of timely conduct the recovery repair of antiaircraft missile armament (AMA). The proposed expression allows to take into account data on the nomenclature and number of components that determine the operability of an AMA, the number of spare parts in recovery and operational spare parts kits, the nomenclature and the number of operable components in AMAs that are subject to decommissioning and understaffing, the probability of combat damage of AMA`s components and recovery repair time.

Modern systems for collecting and processing information are widely represented by optical monitoring systems that are used for aerial reconnaissance, monitoring of critical infrastructure and transport communications. The problematic limitations in developing new and improving existing systems are increasing the end-user requirements regarding the quality of digital images in the conditions of limited bandwidth of data transmission channels. To reduce the volume of aerial photographs, it is proposed to use steganographic transformations with the selection of areas with different semantic saturations. The article analyzes the possibility of selecting objects of interest using methods of machine recognition of contour information based on a moving mask. To eliminate the systemic limitations of this approach, which is the inability to identify elements of description of the interest’s object, it is proposed to use the convolution operation based on a set of filters. A technology is being developed for selecting insignificant areas that are used as containers for embedding information and areas with objects of interest, as a useful steganographic message. The first stage involves the selection of non-significant areas based on the coefficient of difference between the elements. At the second stage, the image is filtered based on the convolution operation with a set of filters that correspond to the expected image response after filtering.

The article is devoted to the study of the principles of the use of weapons on unconventional principles of action, in particular, acoustic weapons. Basic information is provided concerning the physiological effects arising from the influence of acoustic weapons on the personnel of military formations when performing their tasks for functional purposes in the context of conducting non-conventional hostilities. An analysis and generalization of the possible effects of acoustic waves on the personnel, which will determine the most appropriate ways to provide first aid in trauma (damage, etc.) from the impact of acoustic weapons and will reduce the immediate loss of personnel and reduce the time to recover fighting.

The article develops an approach to building a universal automated control and testing station using expert systems. An analysis of the airborne equipment of anti-aircraft guided missiles of methods and means of their control showed that the most difficult task to determine a reliable technical condition is to conduct, using test stations, the control and measurement operations of electronic anti-aircraft guided missiles. The prospects of using expert systems in the field of technical control is shown, which allows to increase the effectiveness of monitoring the technical condition of airborne equipment of anti-aircraft guided missiles by taking into account the knowledge of experts, accumulating knowledge, taking into account the experience of experts and implementing self-training of an expert control system. The formation of information-control models of the current technical condition of anti-aircraft guided missiles (the set of all values of controlled parameters and their change in time, the "passport" of anti-aircraft guided missiles) is proposed, which makes it possible to make the forecast of the technical condition of anti-aircraft guided missiles more reliable by taking into account trends in changes in control parameters . This allows us to draw an extended conclusion on the results of the expert monitoring system: the anti-aircraft guided missile is operational (malfunctioning) or operational (inoperative), the parameters are outside the normal range and the following intercontrol interval is recommended. The proposed structure of the control and testing station implements the control tasks in a comprehensive manner: according to the control program it provides stimulating signals, analyzes output reactions, replenishes the base of reference values of the measured signal parameters and forms information-control models of the current technical condition of the anti-aircraft guided missile, which are then compared using an algorithm with information -controlled models of the reference state of the anti-aircraft guided missile, which is controlled. The proposed approach to the construction of a universal automated control and test station using expert systems will ensure the construction of a universal unified automated control and test station with a variable configuration, which will allow automated control of several samples of anti-aircraft guided missiles with a high degree of reliability and recommend an intercontrol interval for it.
