Abstract
The armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine has led to the loss of important industrial potentials. “Topaz”, a state-owned holding company, specializes in the development and production of sophisticated radio engineering systems and complexes, including unique long-range radio-intelligence (RI) complexes and early warning systems for air defense systems, including the Kolchuga radio-intelligence station.The use of the designated RI made it possible to solve the task of obtaining information on the enemy's air defense and missile defense system, their control points, take-off sites, the operation of aircraft radar stations and other military objects used by the enemy in the radio security system.At present, military units of the Radio-Electronic Intelligence (REI) of the Armed Forces (AF) of Ukraine are RI stations of the Kolchuga type. The share of working stations is low.One of the ways to solve this problem may be to purchase RI complexes.The purpose of the article is to evaluate the tactical and technical characteristics of RI stations of domestic and foreign production for providing parts and subdivisions of the RI of Armed Forces of Ukraine using the method of expert assessments.The main foreign analogues of RI Kolchuga stations are:RI station manufactured by Czech “ERA” company – “VERA-NG”;RI station of Chinese production “JW-600” (DWL-NG);RI station of Polish production “PRP-25”.The tactical and technical characteristics of the four RI stations have been calculated. The best tactical and technical characteristics were found in the RI station manufactured by the Czech company “ERA” – “VERA-NG”.The proposed methodology can be used for the calculation and evaluation of other weapons and military equipment, which will influence the effective decision-making on the development / procurement of new weapons for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the efficient use of budget funds.
