Abstract
The article solves the problem of complex substantiation of reliability and maintainability requirements for mobility means of surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems considering hierarchical structure of mentioned systems and appropriate characteristics of their mobility means, minimum configuration of SAM system means for air defense operation and a number of tactical characteristics of operation area. The quantitative characteristics of effectiveness of SAM system mobility means are measured by the coefficient of effectiveness sustainment which is the ratio of initial effect considering reliability and maintainability of mobility means to its value in case of faultless mobility means. The developed mathematical models, which are proposed for further use as a program product, are designed for defining the limit values of such reliability measures as mean range between failures and mean recovery time of combat and technical facilities of SAM system corresponding to given values of coefficient of effectiveness sustainment.
Highlights
The experience of current warfare testifies the necessity to use joint efforts of all armed struggle assets and forces, as well as their comprehensive use in any geographical conditions
A considerable number of works have dealt with this problem [5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12], where, the main attention usually paid to the reliability of its ground combat vehicles or radioelectronic equipment provided that surface-to-air missile (SAM) system mobility means are reliable or correspond to given probability of successful execution of complex march at a defined distance
The article has resulted in the development of models for complex substantiating the requirements to SAM system mobility means’ reliability components
Summary
The experience of current warfare testifies the necessity to use joint efforts of all armed struggle assets and forces, as well as their comprehensive use in any geographical conditions. The implementation (introducing) of new air attack means into service stimulate increasing mobile SAM systems survivability requirements. Development of new (modernization of existing) SAM systems [1, 2] and organization of combat employment and logistical support of air defense combat units are related to the solution of the following problems. It is important to take into account the influence of mobility means’ reliability level limits on the effectiveness of SAM system combat operation, and on its logistical support. Considering the fact that in many cases the reliability and maintainability determine the effective functioning and quality of any weapon system [3, 4], the problem of comprehensive substantiation of reliability and maintainability requirements for SAM system mobility means, including their service features, is solved
