Модель сигнатур мін для видових технічних засобів повітряної розвідки

Abstract

The article proposes a methodological approach to constructing landmine signature model for specific aerial reconnaissance equipment, which allows determining sectors of the spectral range of both reflected and emitted signals from mines and the landscape on which they are installed, passing through the “transparency windows” of the atmosphere and can be detected specific technical means of reconnaissance of an unmanned aerial vehicle.An analysis of mine reconnaissance assets in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the State Border Guard of Ukraine showed that the disadvantages of the land-based technical means of engineering mine reconnaissance armaments should be considered their obsolescence under the global trend of the creation and use of robotic systems and systems in the military sphere. Modern means of remote aerial reconnaissance of mines using specialized UAVs are absent. This leads to the loss of personnel of engineering and sapper units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. During the execution of tasks in the areas of the ATO / OOS from 2014 to April 2019, these losses depots 125 people, of whom 36 died, and 89 were injured of a different nature.The aim of the article is to substantiate a methodological approach to constructing a model of mine signatures for specific technical aerial reconnaissance equipment for unmanned aerial vehicles.The term “signature” in military affairs should be understood as a set of characteristics of the signal emitted or reflected by the target (object), as well as the landscape on which the signal’s target (object) is located, recorded by technical means of reconnaissance (observation).It is proposed to understand the model of mine signatures when conducting mine reconnaissance using specific technical means of UAV reconnaissance as a set of spectral characteristics of emitted (intrinsic) or reflected by a mine, or landscape, where the mine is installed, of received signals of various types of technical means of UAV reconnaissance.Using the proposed methodological approach to constructing landmine signature model for specific aerial reconnaissance equipment, it is possible to determine the sectors of the spectral range of both reflected and emitted signals from mines and the landscape on which they are installed, passing through the “transparency windows” of the atmosphere and can be registered with species technical means of reconnaissance of an unmanned aerial vehicle, will allow developing technical requirements for an unmanned aerial vehicle of reconnaissance of mines and its payload in the form of equipment for intelligence reconnaissance in the interests of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the State Border Guard of Ukraine.
