PLANNING OF EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH INDICATORS OF EFFICIENCY OF REMOTE- CONTROLED DEMINING COMPLEXES

Abstract

With the beginning of the undeclared war of the russian federation against Ukraine in 2014, and the subsequent large-scale invasion in February 2022, the issue of reconnaissance and demining of the area from explosive devices both during the conduct of hostilities and in the absence of them became very acute. The experience of the war shows that the enemy, despite international conventions on the prohibition of certain types of mine weapons, uses its entire available arsenal of mines and improvised explosive devices, which are often set to non-removable. The analysis of the execution of such tasks by units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine shows that the reconnaissance and demining equipment in their arsenal is outdated and does not meet today’s requirements, and the main method of reconnaissance and demining is manual, which is extremely dangerous for the lives of personnel. To date, many leading countries of the world have developed and use remote reconnaissance and demining tools. However, they are expensive and have certain drawbacks. To solve this problem, research is being conducted on the creation of a domestic remote-controlled demining complex. In addition to theoretical provisions, one of its important stages is conducting an experimental study. In the article, on the basis of previously developed analytical provisions, the methodology of experimental studies of the indicators of the effectiveness of remote-controlled demining complexes is proposed. The specified technique involves conducting both a unilabiate and a multivariate experiment.
