Abstract
In order to repel armed aggression in the East of Ukraine, the national defense-industrial complex has modernized and developed a significant nomenclature of weapons and military equipment, which correspond to the forms and methods of conducting modern hostilities. Experience of using the samples of weapons and military equipment, which are allowed to exploitation in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, indicates on the necessity of resolving a number of problematic issues related to tecnical maintenance, repair, providing of logistical means etc., for keeping them in working order
 Keeping the samples of weapons and military equipment in working order in conditions of fightfare is determined by the number of factors, the one of which is their survivability, namely ability of sample of weapons and military equipment to keep their parameters in given limits,withstand damage of all kinds, and in the event of damage retain the possibility of combat use after repair with minimal cost of time and repair.
 The article proposes a technique for determining the survivability characteristics of a sample of weapons and military equipment. This technique makes it possible to determine the durability and reproducibility indices of weapons and military equipment samples thereby determining the survivability of a particular weapons and military equipment sample or group of single-purpose machines.
Highlights
Novelty of the research The experience gained by units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the anti-terrorist operation (ATO)(operations of the United forces (OUF)) during the combat missions in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions has shown that the aggressor to gain an advantage widely uses both the latest and the advanced already wellknown samples of weapons and military equipment (WME)
Incapacitated samples of weapons and military equipment under repair was 60% higher than the normative indexes [1]. All this is due to the low level of survivability of these weapons and military equipment samples compared to the means of their defeat, which confirms the relevance of this study
The evaluation of the survivability of weapons and military equipment samples is carried out by comparing different variants of structures with the main indicators of tactical and technical characteristics [3, 10]. This method of assessing the survivability of weapons and military equipment samples cannot be considered rational for a number of reasons, namely: it allows to compare only the numerical indicators of the tactical and technical characteristics of the samples, where there are no survivability indicators; the criterion for assessing survivability is quite often subjective, since survivability is not assessed directly or indirectly through intermediate indicators
Summary
Since the beginning of the ATO (OUF), a wide nomenclature of weapons and military equipment samples has been admitted to operation in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Samples of weapons and military equipment used by the units in the course of the task often lost their working condition for the restoration of which was spent additional material resources (ATR), financial costs, etc. The time of incapacitated samples of weapons and military equipment under repair was 60% higher than the normative indexes [1]. All this is due to the low level of survivability of these weapons and military equipment samples compared to the means of their defeat, which confirms the relevance of this study
