Abstract

The experience of conducting combat operations in modern military conflicts has shown that one of their dangerous consequences is the territory contamination with explosive objects, which pose a threat to both the military and the civilian population. At the same time, one of the main problems is the significant development rate excess of mine weapons compared to the development rate of mine countermeasures. Ukraine is not exception, which, due to the full-scale aggression of the Russian Federation, found itself among the most contaminated countries by explosive objects in the world, which in turn requires a large amount of time, forces and means for reconnaissance and demining of territories. The analysis of the explosive objects use in the Russian Federation war against Ukraine shows the enemy use of all available mine weapons, including prohibited by international conventions. A characteristic feature of the enemy mining of terrain is the wide use of remote mining systems, random mining, new mining methods and the installation of explosive objects in an uncooperative state. The analysis of the available demining means in the Ukrainian Armed Forces engineering units shows their obsolescence and low efficiency, as well as the absence of remote-controlled demining complexes. At the same time, the main method of performing demining tasks both in the combat operations conditions and in their absence is manual, which poses a great danger to sappers. Therefore, the creation of remote-controlled demining complexes is an urgent task.The specified problem is proposed to solve through the development of new operation principles of promising remote-controlled demining complexes, the justification of possible options for use the standard portable means of explosive objects search on remote-controlled mobile platforms according to the concept “Front-line Sapper”, the requirements justification for the structure and parameters of the specified complexes and the idea implementation of creating a database of technical images of known explosive objects on the basis of obtained experimental data on selected indicators (amplitude, period and signal frequency). The article, based on the posed scientific problem formalization using a theoretical-multiple approach, provides a functioning model of a promising remote-controlled demining complex, taking into account the experience of the enemy explosive objects use during the Russian Federation war against Ukraine, the means characteristics of their search and destruction.
