METHOD OF CONDUCTING TESTS FOR VERIFYING THE MAIN FUNCTIONS OF COMBAT MEANS OF THE PORTABLE AIRCRAFT MISSILE COMPLEX USING STANDARD EQUIPMENT

Abstract

In recent years, researchers have been actively working on the development of bench testing methods for anti- aircraft systems, in particular, using the latest technologies, materials, design, and operating principles. One of the most recent studies on this topic is devoted to the use of information technology to solve the problems of testing anti- aircraft missile systems. The authors argue that the use of virtual models and bench tests can reduce development costs and provide a more accurate assessment of the performance parameters of air defence missile systems.
 Other studies focus on analysing the impact of various factors on the operation of anti-aircraft missile systems, including the influence of weather conditions, magnetic field and other factors. Studies on this topic have shown that consideration of such factors is important for planning and conducting bench tests.
 Studies have also been conducted on safety and reliability issues during bench tests of anti-aircraft missile systems. Particular attention was paid to the detection and elimination of malfunctions, as well as ensuring safety during testing.
 In general, recent research and publications show that the development of bench testing methods for air defence missile systems is a relevant and promising topic that contributes to improving the reliability and efficiency of their operation.
 In order to increase the efficiency, reliability and reduce the cost of research and development work on the development of MANPADS, the article proposes a method for testing the main functions, including the function of missile guidance and launch, as well as the functions of power and control systems. The bench test method is an effective tool for testing the functions of a complex in conditions that are as close as possible to the actual conditions of its operation. However, it is necessary to investigate the effectiveness of this method for testing the functions of a man-portable anti-aircraft missile system and identify possible shortcomings and limitations that may affect the accuracy of test results and the reliability of the system as a whole.
