ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ТРАНСФОРМАЦІЇ КОНЦЕПЦІЇ БОЙОВОЇ МАШИНИ ПІХОТИ В СУЧАСНИХ УМОВАХ

Abstract

The analysis of concepts and technologies of improvement and transformation of infantry fighting vehicles at the present stage of development is carried out. The problem of inconsistency of combat capabilities of modern infantry fighting vehicles with their original purpose, the so-called problem of passivity, is covered. A detailed analysis of the characteristics of modern and promising infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers is presented in order to assess their combat and technical characteristics. According to the results of the analysis, it is indicated that none of the considered samples of combat armored vehicles is fully applied to autonomous or joint actions along with tanks due to insufficient level of protection, limited capabilities or complete passivity of the landing party. Particular attention is paid to the study of ways of constructive transformation of the infantry fighting vehicle on the platform of the T-64 tank of domestic production. Compromise approaches to the layout of modern infantry fighting vehicles with an optimal combination of fire capabilities, security, mobility and improving the maintainability and operational qualities of the combat vehicle are proposed. A well-founded analysis of the existing models of heavy infantry fighting vehicles in service in the armies of different countries has been carried out. Tactical and technical requirements for a promising heavy infantry fighting vehicle of domestic production based on the T-64 tank are substantiated. Conceptual directions of transformation of the infantry fighting vehicle in modern conditions of conducting military operations are defined. Ways of modernization of samples of armored combat vehicles on the basis of developments of the Kharkiv design bureau on mechanical engineering named after A.A. Morozov with the introduction of the Russian military-industrial complex. Keywords: infantry fighting vehicle, combat capabilities, security, combat effectiveness, enemy, tank, concept, design, transformation.
