GENERALIZED STRUCTURE OF THE INFORMATION AND REFERENCE DATABASE OF ARMAMENT AND MILITARY EQUIPMENT OF THE INFORMATION SYSTEM OF TESTING SUPPORT

Abstract

The hybrid and undisguised aggression against Ukraine by the Russian Federation over the past eight years has led to an understanding of the urgent need to arm the Armed Forces with the latest armament and military equipment, and has spurred a significant increase in domestic military developments. This, in turn, led to an increase in the need to test military products, and the receipt of test requests became widespread. This determines the relevance of the development and implementation of information support system for testing, the purpose of which is to automate test processes and improve the efficiency of the test organization as a whole.
 The article is a continuation of a series of publications that highlight the principles and approaches to the creation of information support system for testing samples of armament and military equipment, which is planned to be implemented at the State Scientific Research Institute of Armament and Military Equipment Testing and Certification. Based on the proposals on the functionality of the information system, a generalized structure of the information and reference database of armaments and military equipment has been developed. It is proposed to expand the current classifier of armament and military equipment while keeping the structure of the code, which provides coding and entering information into the database of modern and promising models of armament and military equipment of foreign production.
 It is assumed that the proposed structure of the information and reference database will provide functions to clarify and supplement the tactical and technical requirements for the tested model of armament and military equipment, which in turn will be the basis for developing programs and test methods, and will provide information needs for automated comparative assessment military-technical level of the studied product.
 It is expected that the introduction of an information system to support the testing of armament and military equipment can significantly increase the capacity of the test organization while ensuring the proper quality of the results.
