An analysis of existing approaches to the development of measuring instruments, the state of the art, contradictions and trends in the field of information and measurement systems, taking into account the needs of the defense industry and the scientific sphere of Ukraine, leads to the conclusion that there is a need to unify measuring instruments. An important issue is the development of new measurement methods using an appropriate set of measuring instruments that ensure the completeness of the necessary functions for conducting quality tests of armament and military equipment by obtaining the values of the parameters being evaluated with a certain reliability.
 This article considers the option of building an information and measuring system based on the SOMAT XR complex for measuring fast-moving processes, the peculiarities of its use and capabilities in testing armament and military equipment.
 Modern measurement systems used for testing are complexes that include modules for connecting sensors, converting analog signals to digital format, storing the received data in digital form, and communicating with external computerized devices. These modules can be separate or integrated into a single unit.
 The analysis of the results of the conducted tests of armament and military equipment showed that the use of the SOMAT XR complex is quite possible for measuring the information parameters of armament and military equipment and its components and will simplify and automate the process of performing measurements, reduce the number of errors to a minimum and significantly reduce the time for evaluating the parameters of prototypes during testing and their adoption (supply) by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
