INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES OF LOGISTICAL SUPPORT OF TROOPS

Abstract

Purpose. Comprehensive and uninterrupted logistical support of troops is considered one of the main factors of successful conduct of hostilities by any state. The logistics support system, created in peacetime, is intended for use in the course of a military company. It is the link between the front and the economy of the country, and at the same time, it is one of the important factors affecting the combat operation. According to experts, changes in the geopolitical and military-strategic situation in Europe resulted also changes in the armed forces of states, including their logistical support, which is undergoing changes and is developing under the direct influence of the military strategy, the achievement of whose goals it is intended to provide. All this necessitates the search for new, more effective ways of solving logistical problems in modern combat. This is true today, including for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Therefore, the purpose of the work is to consider and implement in practice the logistic support of the state power structures of innovations in the form of a new, improved product - the creation of modular complexes, including various block containers (kitchen-dining room, shower room, laundry, post-office, dispensary and others). They will dramatically change in the future the quality of resolving the issues of everyday life of servicemen during the performance of combat missions in emergency zones and with participation in armed conflicts. Methodology. The methodology is based on the main measures to improve the logistic support system in the near future, including the reorganization of the existing logistic support system and the creation of modular structures of forces and means that are easily adapted and subsequently targeted for specific tasks. Findings. A set of design documentation for the block - container for laundry and shower in the field is offered. Technological modules for combat (block-post), rear (kitchen-dining room), medical (mobile ambulance), and others are also being developed. Originality. One of the peculiarities of reforms carried out in the Armed Forces of Ukraine is their scientific justification. For the theoretical support, development and justification of promising ideas for improving the life support of servicemen during long-term deployment in the field, the use of block containers-mobile multifunctional premises - is proposed for the first time. Practical value. Considering that the military and political leadership of Ukraine considers the logistic support of the troops as one of the components of the all-round support of the armed forces in peacetime and wartime, the use of the proposed ideas for improving the life of the troops will help to form a new image of the material and technical support system of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
