Methodical approach to determining the resistance of field fortification coating structures built to the shock-explosive impact of modern missile weapons

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to publicize a methodical approach to determining the stability of cover structures of field fortifications to the shock-explosive action of modern missile weapons, in particular cruise and ballistic missiles.
 The purpose of this article is to present a methodological approach for determining the resistance of the cover structures of field fortifications to the impact and explosive effects of modern missile weapons, in particular cruise and ballistic missiles.The analysis shows that currently, the most dangerous means of fire destruction for troops are long-range cruise and ballistic missiles with high explosive effect. Under such conditions, the most effective way to protect troops is to shelter them in field fortifications, the cover structures of which are resistant to the impact and explosive effects of these missiles.The article presents a methodological approach to determining the resistance of the cover structures of field fortifications to the impact and explosive effects of cruise and ballistic missiles and the results of determining the required thickness of the cover of these structures, which are made of the most readily available building materials in the field – soil, sand, clay, stone, concrete and reinforced concrete. The scientific novelty of the proposed methodological approach lies in the comprehensive consideration of a set of indicators quantifying the main tactical and technical characteristics of modern cruise and ballistic missiles, their flight and trajectory parameters, as well as indicators taking into account the most important properties of materials for the construction of a penetration and emission protection cover of a field fortification.
