The world has experienced a very rapid development of air power technology such as aircraft, missiles, drones, bringing the consequences of the emergence of an air attack threat from one country to another. Indonesia as one of the countries is likely to experience the threat of air attacks from other countries that can endanger national security and territorial sovereignty so that Indonesia needs a strong and resilient air defence. In addition to aircraft as the main element of air defence, there is a ground-to-air missile weapon system, one of which is the Starstreak missile currently owned by the Army Air Defence Artillery unit which is incorporated in the Starstreak missile firing unit in each unit. The weapon system can be operationalised if it is in good condition and ready for operation, so a good maintenance activity is needed and in accordance with procedures. The purpose of the study was to analyse the maintenance of the Starstreak missile firing unit in the Arhanud 8/MBC Battalion to support the implementation of air defence operations that are the responsibility of the unit. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative with a phenomenological approach, using the IITCA theory (Integrative, Interactive, Transparency, Controlling, Accountability). Data were obtained from informants who were determined and then analysed with qualitative analysis techniques. The results showed that the implementation of maintenance of the Starstreak missile firing unit was not in accordance with the provisions or procedures so that there was still damage that occurred proving that maintenance had not been carried out optimally

It is concluded that maintenance facilities, personnel, and software significantly influence the implementation of air to ground missile maintenance

Bitwa o Tajwan, czyli jak mogłaby wyglądać chińska inwazja na „zbuntowaną prowincję”

The battle of Taiwan, or what a Chinese invasion of a „rogue province” could look like This article describes the possible course of the battle of Taiwan. The paper presents the Chinese policy towards Taiwan, conclusions drawn from the war games conducted by the Pentagon, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) and civilian think tanks, the military potential of both sides, and the battle scenario. During the actual research, studies and articles published in Forbes, Business Insider, Taiwan News, Lowy Institute, War on the Rocks, NBC News, China Power, Military Times, Reuters, and Daily Guardian, along with reports of think tanks such as the Atlantic Council and RAND, reports of the US Congress, and reports of Military Ballance were used. The Chinese Invasion Threat: Taiwan’s Defense and American Strategy in Asia, a book written by Ian Easton, turned out to be a particularly useful source of knowledge. According to the author of this article, a „forceful solution” for the Taiwanese issue by Beijing is possible in the future and the Western world should seriously analyze its possible course. This is evidenced by numerous statements of Chinese politicians, the desire to change the current global balance of power, the continuous growth of China’s economic power, the expansion of the PLA’s power projection capabilities in terms of an invasion of the „rogue province”, and regular war games and violations of the Taiwanese air defense identification zone. If there was a battle of Taiwan, from the point of view of the People’s Republic of China, it would be crucial to isolate the island, to quickly eliminate the enemy’s anti‑aircraft and anti‑missile defenses by means of missile and cyberattacks, to paralyze the command system, to gain air superiority, and then to land on the beaches from which operations would be then carried out inland. From the point of view of the Taiwan Armed Forces, the most important thing would be to survive the first days of massive air and missile attacks, to disperse their forces, and then to attack the enemy by exploring its weaknesses, i.e., shooting down selected planes and helicopters, sinking ships in the Taiwan Strait, interrupting supply lines, and then inflicting as much damage as possible during the ground combat.

PLACEMENT OF ROBOTIC MISSILE DEFENSE COMPLEXES ON AN UNMANNED AIR VEHICLE

Objects of critical infrastructure of Ukraine need a multi-level anti-missile defense system, which should protect against various types of missiles with a flight range of several tens to several hundreds of kilometers. Timely detection of missiles allows for a number of measures aimed at interception and destruction of targets, the use of radio-electronic warfare, the installation of interfering and obstructing obstacles in various ranges of radio waves, as well as the inclusion of optical and thermal traps. The use of robotic complexes placed on aerostats increases the effectiveness of modern surface-to-air missile system (SAMS) many times over in the fight against low-flying targets with massed strikes of cruise missiles. The location of radar at an altitude of several kilometers ensures the detection range of low-flying targets several times greater than that of ground-based radar. This is of particular importance for SAMS when firing at targets beyond the radio horizon. The transfer of data about the location of the target from the radar of the air carrier to the air defense system and its illumination and guidance radar (at least the approximate location) provides the opportunity to bring the anti-missile to the point of inclusion of its homing head. It is proposed to modernize the radar with an active phased antenna array used on fighters to increase the range and installation on airships and balloons. This will ensure the effectiveness of defense against missile attacks, detection and tracking of up to 100 targets at distances of about 40...400 km. At the same time, the weight of the radar within the range of 200...500 kg and the dimensions of the antennas up to 1 meter are permissible for installation on large balloons. Countries for which attacks of various types of missiles are a real threat need a multi-level anti-missile system, in particular, using robotic complexes placed on air carriers. Keywords: anti-missile defense, radar station, balloon, airship.

Missile Threat Detection and Evasion Maneuvers With Countermeasures for a Low-Altitude Aircraft

This paper investigates Man-Portable Air Defense Systems (MANPAD) missile threat detection and an effective maneuvering strategy for aircraft (A/C) destruction avoidance. The 3D trajectory of a multistage missile (boost and sustain phases) under Pure Proportional Navigation is first estimated. The maximum likelihood estimator is used to estimate its motion parameters of the two-stage missile considered using only angle measurements from a low-altitude A/C. Missile threat detection is investigated based on two methods: estimation-based as a baseline method and threat plane-based. The former can provide a miss distance between the A/C and the missile, but more measurements are required. The latter is shown to give a faster threat alert, allowing the A/C to start the evasive maneuver earlier. An efficient evasion maneuver for avoiding destruction, is banking away from the missile by a turning maneuver in the horizontal plane, due to its low-altitude. The survivability probability of the A/C is evaluated with and w/o countermeasures (flares). There are two key factors that affect the evasion performance: maneuver start time and the maximum acceleration during the maneuver. Simulations show that the A/C can start maneuvering earlier using the threat plane-based method compared with the estimation-based method. It can successfully evade the missile with the help of maneuvering. It is also shown that using flares, the necessary maneuver is less drastic (lower <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$g$</tex-math></inline-formula> 's).

FORMALIZATION OF DECISION-MAKING PROCESSES IN AVIATION MANAGEMENT

Currently, fighter aircraft is one of the most important components in the war with the russian federation. It is used to gain superiority in the air during combat, destroy means of air attack, air support of the Ground Forces, the Naval Forces, provision of aerial intelligence data to control bodies, aerial damage to enemy aviation, land and sea formations, objects of the state and military administration, rear facilities and military-economic potential, transport communications, performance of other special tasks. To ensure high efficiency of combat use, tactical (fighter) aviation brigades are equipped with automation equipment. The experience of the combat use of fighter aircraft during wars and local military conflicts of the last decade shows that ensuring high efficiency of aircraft control is achieved by automating control processes through the use of modern software and mathematical support of the automated control system, based on fundamentally new approaches, in including the use of a single formal system for presenting the knowledge of combat control officers. However, the capabilities of aviation and air defense control systems to solve logical and analytical problems are limited. In the existing complex of automation tools, the final result of the task of determining the impact on the target is evaluated qualitatively – if it is possible for the fighter to enter a given tactically advantageous position relative to the target. The existing SPMZ ASU uses mathematical models, the systems of restrictions of which do not allow to fully use the existing potential of the available composition of information sources, to form recommendations based on incomplete, inaccurate input information, which negatively affects the quality of aviation management. Thus, the need to automate decision- making processes in aviation management using the latest information technologies is urgent. One of the promising directions of formalization of decision-making processes in aviation management is the creation of models that provide for the formalization of the mental activity of decision-makers. The purpose of the article. Automation of decision-making processes in aviation management using the latest information technologies. One of the promising directions of formalization of decision-making processes in aviation management is the creation of models that provide for the formalization of the mental activity of decision-makers.

IAMD (Integrated Air and Missile Defence) Strategic Aspects with SBAD Focus

The main aim of this article is to prove the importance of strategic aspects of Integrated Air and Missile Defence especially with focus on SBAD (Surface Based Air Defence) systems. To achieve the aim, theoretical research methods such as analysis, synthesis, comparison and generalization were applied. The results show that the strategic aspects of Integrated Air and Missile Defence should be considered as the crucial elements of the military deterrence for NATO. In addition offensive action must be consider also as a defencise posture. Thus, the formulated thesis undermines the up-to-date understanding of the problem, and therefore may contribute to further discussion on the topic of using means of defensive deterrence for NATO. Once again, this is highly important to have, develop and operate such systems nowadays. IAMD has become one of the most important pillars of the security of NATO countries. Due to the fact that this article is unclassified, it is remaining on generic statements and not dig in into details which are normally more sensitive.

Countering Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) in Military Operations

Although contemporary unmanned systems are used in every environment, they overwhelmingly dominate the airspace. They are commonly called aerial drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), while the systems supporting and controlling UAVs are called unmanned aerial systems (UASs). The widespread adoption of aerial drone technology has led to their increasing use on the battlefield. Therefore, finding an effective counter-drone (counter - UAS) weapon has become a serious challenge. This task is particularly difficult because we are dealing with a huge variety of unmanned aerial systems while their numbers are increasing at a record-breaking pace. At this point, there are also no fully proven counter-drone solutions, with most existing systems still in the research phase or newly introduced prototypes. The emerging problems and the set of uncertainties associated with them have become the fundamental basis for addressing and presenting this issue in this publication. This article discusses the crucial subject of defense against unmanned aerial systems from the perspective of modern warfare. The author addresses the question of how to plan and implement counter-drone defense in military operations, as well as what technical solutions could be useful for this purpose. Throughout this study, the author employed various methods, including analysis, synthesis, comparison, and case studies, primarily by examining available open-source information on recent armed conflicts in Nagorno-Karabakh and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. These methods enabled the author to validate his main hypothesis: there are currently no effective drone countermeasures systems, particularly against drones that can operate autonomously, utilize artificial intelligence algorithms for guidance and decision-making, or engage in large-scale attacks, known as swarms. Simultaneously, the author points out what new technical solutions should be developed to enable effective countermeasures and what tactics should be incorporated into military training to address this threat. Additionally, the article discusses to what extent existing air defense systems can be adapted for counter-drone defense and whether there are effective methods of force protection against such threats.

Methods of calculation and engineering protection of critical infrastructure objects and other strategic facilities against long-range projectiles

Relevance. One of the key areas of russia's military operations against Ukraine is the destruction of critical infrastructure objects (CIO) of strategic importance. The main types of enemy means for air strikes on CIO are air-launched, ground-launched and water-launched missiles, as well as barrage munitions. The vast majority of the CIO were built in Ukraine above ground, without any engineering structural protection systems to counter air threats, explosions or other impacts related to military operations. The importance of developing the most effective methods of engineering structural protection of the CIO from various types of projectiles as soon as possible was demonstrated by the experience of Ukraine's war with russia, in particular, the analysis of the significant impact of damage to the CIO in the energy sector. At present, Ukraine has a certain lack of regulatory data for designing reliable protective structures for CIO. The aim of this work is to develop a regulatory base for making calculations for the possible impact of various types of forceful effects from air strikes, terrorist attacks, etc. when designing the CIO and other strategic facilities. Currently, the issue of organising the defence of critical infrastructure and other strategic objects is being systematically addressed on the basis of the "Country-Fortress" principle, which provides for the organisation of echeloned air defence combined with comprehensive civil and engineering defence measures. In addition, it is necessary to provide for the reliable protection of existing facilities, taking into account the hazards and threats of today. The process of reducing the risks of damage to the CIO involves identifying threats, their comprehensive assessment, developing measures to reduce threats and their prompt implementation, followed by an assessment of the measures effectiveness. Results. The presented methods of risk assessment of critical infrastructure damage, methods of their engineering and analytical calculations and methods of engineering structural protection against ammunition of various types allow developing an effective integrated system of protection of strategically important objects. The article deals with both the protection of existing facilities and the design of new ones, taking into account the requirements for engineering protection and civil defence.

Integrating Battlefield Documentation into Virtual Reality Medical Simulation Training: Virtual Battlefield Assisted Trauma Distributed Observation Kit (BATDOK).

Clinical documentation is an essential component of the provision of medical care, enabling continuity of information across provider and site handoffs. This is particularly important in the combat casualty care setting when a single casualty may be treated by four or more or five completely disparate teams across the roles of care. The Battlefield Assisted Trauma Distributed Observation Kit (BATDOK) is a digital battlefield clinical documentation system developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory to address this need. To support the deployment of this tool, we integrated BATDOK into a commercially available virtual reality (VR) medical simulation platform used by the U.S. Air Force and Defense Health Agency personnel in order to provide an immersive simulation training experience which included battlefield documentation. A multidisciplinary team consisting of medical educators, VR simulation engineers, emergency physicians and pararescuemen, and BATDOK developers first developed a specification for a virtual BATDOK capability, including a detailed listing of learning objectives, critical interfaces and task plans, and sensor integrations. These specifications were then implemented into the commercially available Virtual Advancement of Learning for Operational Readiness VR Medical Simulation System and underwent developmental testing and evaluation during pararescueman training exercises at the Air Force Special Operations Command Special Operations Center for Medical Integration and Development. The BATDOK capability was successfully implemented within the VR Medical Simulation System. The capability consisted of a virtual tablet with replicated interfaces and capabilities based on the developed specifications. These capabilities included integrated point-of-care ultrasound capability, multi-patient management, vitals sign monitoring with sensor pairing and continuous monitoring, mechanism of injury documentation (including injury pattern documentation), intervention logging (including tourniquets, dressing, airways, lines, tubes and drains, splints, fluids, and medications), and event logging. The capability was found to be operational and in alignment with learning objectives and user acceptance goals.

The results show that the visualization and simulation software of ammunition damage effectiveness against air targets can calculate the damage effect of ammunition on air and visualize the results of missile rendezvous, combat guidance and air target damage, which provides reference for the design of air defense ammunition introduction.

Wideband Antennas of Passive Seekers for Anti Radiation Missiles

Suppression of Enemy Air Defence (SEAD) is a fundamental element of Air Power application by means of in protecting friendly air attackers and destroying the enemy’s ability to defend against air attack. Most of the SEAD operation even today relies on Anti-radiation missile (ARM) which is an air-to-surface tactical missile designed to detect, seek, attack and destroy opponent’s radar. Passive seeker of ARM is a miniaturized ESM receiver which is capable of extracting the necessary angular data from the enemy radar emissions. Single head passive seeker covering wide frequency range from L to Ku band is the preferred choice. Wideband antennas have been designed and utilized for Direction Finding applications of ESM/ELINT receivers for ground, air and ship borne platforms. Unlike these platforms, there are several restrictions for passive seeker based compact ESM receiver for missile borne platform specially air to surface missile where lesser diameter is one of the preferred design parameter. This review paper mainly discusses the existing wideband antennas such as spiral, log-periodic, printed circuit vivaldi and all-metal vivaldi antennas and the comparison of their various parameters for passive seeker. The paper also suggests their suitability with respect to their placement on the missile for three configurations: concealed inside the radome, flush-mounted and conformal antenna based. The paper also brought about the specific test facility required for testing and evaluation of passive seeker to characterize it with missile radome which is the most challenging and time consuming task. Among the three passive seeker configuration discussed, conformal antenna based passive seeker using all-metal Vivaldi is the best option avoiding radome aberration correction which is being utilized in the present third generations of ARM. The second commonly and established passive seeker configuration is concealed inside the radome using spiral antennas where handling radome aberration correction is a limitation.

Research and Application of Intelligent Water Source Well Air Defense Pumping and Dry Burning Technology

The surface water injection technology for developing low permeability reservoirs comes from the water supply of water source wells. The groundwater resources in oil fields are limited, with high water consumption and a decrease in water level, lacking effective monitoring methods. In recent years, there have been frequent occurrences of unsafe waste of electrical energy due to dry burning during pumping in water source wells, which has seriously affected the normal water injection of oilfield formations. In order to prevent dry burning of water source wells by pumping air, research on intelligent air defense dry burning technology for water source wells has been carried out. The automatic pump stop alarm at low water level and the automatic pump start at high water level avoid the phenomenon of dry burning during pumping in the water source well, ensure the normal operation of the water source well, and ensure sufficient water injection from the source. Reduce employee labor intensity and achieve the goal of optimizing human resources. Associate the start and stop status of the water source well with the tank position of the water injection station to achieve automatic water distribution and inventory, achieve digital management and fine management, and achieve the goal of reducing costs and increasing efficiency, which has promotion value.

When architecture meets RL+EA: A hybrid intelligent optimization approach for selecting combat system-of-systems architecture

In recent decades, various domains such as military, aerospace and supply chain are becoming increasingly complex, forming system-of-systems (SoSs). The effectiveness of SoSs is mainly determined by their architecture, thus selecting proper architecture for SoSs is crucial to maximize their effectiveness. While most studies focus on specific issues, such as mission planning and SoSs meta-architecture selection, few papers deal with the two issues together. This paper introduces the task oriented SoSs architecture selection problem (TSASP) and proposes an combination of reinforcement learning (RL) and evolutionary algorithm (EA) (CRE) to address this problem. CRE comprises two layers: the inner layer utilizes a DQN-based algorithm to solve the mission planning problem, and the outer layer with improved genetic algorithm optimizes the SoSs architecture selection based on the output of inner one. A synthetic air and missile defense (AMD) example is conducted to test the effectiveness of proposed method, and results show that CRE can improve the mission planning effect by select a feasible architecture.
