METHODOLOGY OF ASSESSMENT OF FIRE CONTROL SYSTEM SURVIVABILITY OF ANTIAIRCRAFT SUB-UNIT (ANTI-AIRCRAFT UNIT)

Abstract

The article focuses on solving the problem of assessing the survivability of a fire control system of an anti-aircraft sub-unit (anti-aircraft unit). The ways of solving this problem are shown by the use of certain methods, by which it is possible to carry out the analysis of the factors that influence the survivability of the fire control system of an anti-aircraft sub-unit (anti-aircraft unit). Assessment of the survivability of the control system is carried out on the basis of a model that characterizes the survivability of the system for a certain period of time. It is advisable to choose the time for which the survivability of the system is estimated within the average time spent by the elements of the fire control system of the anti-aircraft unit (unit) at their positions. As an indicator of survivability, the probability of non-defeat of elements of the enemy fire control system over the adopted time period is accepted. The adopted indicator is characterized by a number of particular indicators: the probability of detection (the probability of direct detection by enemy aircraft in a given area) of the control system elements; the probability of absenteeism of control elements from under the attack of the enemy; the probability of defeat of the elements of the enemy assets management system In turn, private indicators take into account the enemy’s ability to detect and strike at elements of the fire control system of an anti-aircraft sub-unit (anti-aircraft unit), as well as the possible impact of organizational and technical measures aimed at improving camouflage, creating false positions, and engineering support to reduce the likelihood of detection and defeat of elements of a fire control system of an anti-aircraft sub-unit (anti-aircraft unit). The proposed methodology for assessing the survivability of a fire control system takes into account the dynamics of its operation, the impact of possible measures to increase survivability at its level, takes into account different options for striking the enemy and allows a comparative analysis of proposals to ensure the required level of survivability of the system in the headquarters (military authorities) planning and conducting combat operations.
