Evaluation of actions efficiency of mobile combat robots by methods of mass-service theory

Abstract

The article confirms that at the present stage of the development of domestic military science, the simulation of military operations is an important tool for predicting the possible results of a military conflict with the subsequent development of recommendations for its planning and management. It is determined that other mathematical methods provide ample opportunity to solve particular problems in the implementation of the principles of military art. Using various mathematical methods and electronic computer technology, it is possible to develop quantitative recommendations for making decisions in various combat situations.The possibility of using queuing systems techniques for modeling the combat operations of mobile combat robots is shown. The use of such techniques made it possible to obtain an analytical description of the final probabilities for an incompletely accessible queuing system and to expand the possibilities of taking into account the conditions for fulfilling the combat tasks of military units equipped with mobile combat robots. For this purpose, a model is described and considered that describes the battle when the firing is conducted on the observed targets and, in the event of a target hit, the fire is instantly transferred to the unaffected one. This model is illustrated by a functional diagram that clearly shows the work on the targets of five of the same type of mobile combat robots. In this case, the identification of targets is carried out by an exponential law with a function of distributing the service time of the target and the average intensity of their detection and destruction.The characteristics of the efficiency of the queuing system in a stationary (steady state) mode, that is, with an unlimitedly growing time of its operation, are determined. Two coefficients have also been introduced that will characterize the relationship between the duration of the strike phase and the time of the entire process of serving the target. Based on the research, for example, the corresponding calculations were carried out and the boundaries of the possible use of a group of mobile combat robots, consisting of five units, for the military unit were outlined. The workload of each machine and, accordingly, the efficiency of the unit as a whole are determined, recommendations are given on their quantitative composition.
