CHARACTERISTICS OF PROCESSES SUBJECT TO VIDEO-PHOTOGRAPHY DURING TESTS OF ARMAMENT AND MILITARY EQUIPMENT OF THE GROUND FORCES AND DETERMINATION OF GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PROSPECTIVE SAMPLES OF VIDEO-PHOTO EQUIPMENT FOR TESTING

Abstract

Currently, during the period of active equipping and provision of the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with new and modernized samples of armament and military equipment, there is an urgent need to conduct photo- video registration of the process during the testing of experimental samples with the help of photo and video equipment (cameras, video cameras, thermal imagers, etc.).
 The main problematic issue is that most of the systems and complexes of photo-video registration of information, which are operated in research laboratories of information and measurement systems of the Armed Forces and industrial enterprises of Ukraine, are outdated and have low technical characteristics.
 One of the possible ways to solve this issue is the analysis of physical processes that are subject to registration during tests, in order to determine the technical characteristics of photos and video equipment for their purchase for the operation of video surveillance test laboratories.
 The purpose of the research was to study the technical characteristics of modern photo and video equipment and the possibility of its use in testing weapons and military equipment for various functional purposes, primarily ground.
 This article analyzes the requirements for modern photo and video equipment, its technical characteristics and principles of operation. Domestic and foreign products were subject to analysis. The study of domestic and foreign experience in the use of such equipment shows that special attention should be paid to high-speed and television photo and video cameras when drawing up general requirements as they are the most complex in terms of construction.
 Thus, in order to improve the quality of tests of new and modernized samples of armament and military equipment, the technical characteristics of modern photo and video equipment and the possibility of their use during tests were investigated. The use of promising samples of on-board photo and video equipment during tests of armament and military equipment of the ground forces is possible with a wide range of applications.
