УВЕДЕННЯ ВЕГЕТАРІАНСЬКОГО РАЦІОНУ ДО ДОБОВОГО ПОЛЬОВОГО НАБОРУ ПРОДУКТІВ ДЛЯ ВІЙСЬКОВОСЛУЖБОВЦІВ НА ОСНОВІ ДОСВІДУ АРМІЙ КРАЇН-ЧЛЕНІВ НАТО

The introduction NATO standards into the components security and defense sector is one of the priority tasks for our country on the way to the Alliance. This topic remains relevant for more than one year. One of these standards is taking into account the specifics of military servicemenʼs diet, including vegetarian servicemen. There are a significant number of servicemen in National Guard of Ukraine units and other military formations who do not consume meat and animal products. The main reasons for this are: ethical views; theism and observance of certain fasts; various disorders of the body (restricted ability of the body to absorb lactose, periodic problems with digestion), etc. With the start of a full-scale war in 2022, Ukrainian volunteers covered the most diverse needs of the army. It was not an exception to meet the needs of some servicemen in National Guard of Ukraine and other military formations in vegetarian dry rations. Being a military serviceman, a person has certain limitations in the choice of food, since in many situations it depends on what exactly the state provides him with (the difficulty or complete lack of opportunities to buy food and prepare it independently plays a role). The introduction of additional ones to the existing dry rations, which can take into account these features, can solve this problem, in particular, in the absence of a "kitchen", namely in the areas of direct performance of tasks. The lack of plant-based meals causes many military personnel to abandon their ethical principles and, as a result, suffer health problems due to a forced and drastic change in diet after years of veganism. Thus, taking into account the experience of the worldʼs leading armies can fundamentally improve the organization of food supply in terms taking into account certain needs of military personnel. Also, it should be understood that the introduction of vegetable dry rations is not a change in the nutrition itself in the National Guard of Ukraine, but only its addition and expansion.

Deep Learning Based Classification of Military Cartridge Cases and Defect Segmentation

The final stage of the production process in the industry is quality control. Quality control answers the question of is there a defect on the surface of the products. Frequently the quality control is performed manually. The disadvantages of manual quality control are high error rate (low accuracy), low product rate (low performance) and high expense rate (high cost). The solution is automatic quality control using machine vision systems. These systems classify the products and segment the defects on their surfaces by processing the images taken by cameras during the production process in real-time. Some products like military cartridge cases have metallic, cylindrical, non-uniform texture and highly reflective surface. So, the quality of images is very important. Another factor that affects the accuracy is the non-uniform texture of the product surface. Distinguishing the product non-uniform texture from defect texture is a challenging problem. In previous works, this problem have been tried to be solved with image processing and deep learning techniques and the accuracy of 97% and 96% have been obtained, appropriately. According to NATO standards, the accuracy of the classification of the military cartridge cases should be above 99%. In this work, the methodology for classification of the military cartridge cases and segmentation of the defects on their surfaces with non-uniform texture is proposed to increase the accuracy. In scope of the proposed methodology the datasets with non-defective, defective and labeled/masked image classes of the cartridge cases were created, the deep learning models to classify the military cartridge cases and segment the defects on their surfaces were proposed, implemented and obtained results were evaluated using the metrics such as Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1-Score, Jaccard Index (JI) and Mean Intersection over Union (mIoU). Obtained results showed that the proposed methodology increased the accuracy of classification to 100% with the DenseNet169 model and the F1-Score of segmentation to 92.1% with Improved U-Net and ResUnet models.

ANALYSIS OF THE PROVISIONS OF NATIONAL STANDARDS FOR TESTING ARMAMENT AND MILITARY EQUIPMENT ON THE IPMACT OF MECHANICAL FACTORS

In order to assure the compatibility of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the armies of the NATO member states, amendments are being made to the national legislation of Ukraine to create a mechanism for the implementation of NATO standards or their provisions in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
 To ensure regulatory support of the life cycle of armament and military equipment, measures are being taken to fully transition the military-industrial complex of Ukraine to use international, European and NATO standards in production. In 2021, national standards DSTU STANAG 4370: 2021 were adopted, harmonized with NATO standards, which regulate the organization and testing samples of armament and military equipment on environmental conditions impact.
 Since these standards are adopted in the original language, and in Ukraine there is no practice of distributing and using English-language normative documents, there is a problem of unambiguous interpretation of the content of these standards by all interested parties: product manufacturers, testing laboratories, scientific organizations etc.
 The purpose of the article is to analyze the main provisions of national standards regarding the conditions and methods for testing the impact of mechanical factors in order to implement them in the system of testing samples of armament and military equipment.
 In the course of research general scientific methods of processing and systematization of information, in particular, system analysis and synthesis of organizational and technical systems were applied.
 Due to the abolition of the set of state military standards, which established the level of quality indicators, composition, sequence, general requirements for testing equipment, instruments, devices for military purposes, an urgent need arose for regulatory support for the organization and testing of armament and military equipment. It was determined that one of the main directions of solving the problem of normative support for the organization and testing of armament and military equipment is the adoption of international military standards in the capacity of national ones.
 The main provisions of the standards that ensure the organization and conduct of tests of military equipment for mechanic factors impact were analyzed, the structure and content of these standards were considered.

SUBSTANTIATION OF DEVELOPMENT STAGES OF THE INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR SUPPORT OF TESTS OF ARMAMAENT AND MILITARY EQUIPMENT OF THE ARMED FORCES OF UKRAINE

One of the important areas of support and development of the state's defense capabilities is to equip the armed forces with modern armament and military equipment (AME). In recent years, due to the situation in eastern Ukraine, there has been a significant increase in the pace of development and adoption of the newest models of AME. The process of harmonizing national standards with NATO standards also contributes to this. Naturally, it causes an increase in the need for timely and high-quality testing of AME samples. Accordingly, the task of improving the efficiency of all processes that accompany the testing of defense products is urgent.
 The article considers the problem of practical development of information system for support of tests of AME, the purpose of which is to automate information processes in the preparation and conduct of tests, which should reduce time and labor costs at all stages of testing. Based on the previously substantiated spiral model of software product development and the concept of building an information system for test support, a step-by-step plan for the implementation of the information system is proposed.
 The system of requirements to the prototype of the information system with limited functionality is formulated, according to which the rating estimation of need and possibility of prioritized realization of the basic functional modules of the information system is carried out. Based on the requirement of functional connectivity of the modules, the information system composition on the next turn of the life cycle spiral model is substantiated. The step-by-step approach during creation and provisioning of databases and data registers with information are considered. As the information system develops, the transition to an incremental model of software product development is not excluded.
 It is expected that the automation of information processes related to the planning and conducting of tests, as well as the processing of test results and preparation of reporting documentation can positively impact the overall efficiency of the organization and conducting of tests, as well as ensure the proper quality of results.

Experimental Validation of the Mean Pitch Theory

There are several types of exterior ballistic models used to calculate projectile’s flight trajectories. The most complex 6 degree of freedom rigid body model has many disadvantages to using it to create firing tables or rapid calculations in fire control systems. Some of ballistic phenomena can be simplified by empirical equations without significant loss of accuracy. This approach allowed to create standard NATO ballistic model for spin stabilized projectiles named Modified Point of Mass Model (PM Model). For fin (aerodynamically) stabilized projectiles like mortar projectiles simple Point of Mass Model is commonly used. The PM Model excludes many flight phenomena in calculations. In this paper authors show the mean pitch theory as an approximation of the natural fin stabilised projectile pitch during flight. The theory allows for simple improvement of accuracy of the trajectories calculation. In order to validate the theory data obtained from shooting of supersonic mortar projectiles were used. The comparison of accuracy between simple PM Model and PM Model including mean pitch theory were shown. Results were also compared with the angle of response theory.

Cooperation Between Poland and the USA in the Protection of Classified Information

The military cooperation between Poland and the USA so far has undoubtedly influenced the shape of the external security. The tangible expression of this cooperation is, among others, the signing of an agreement between Poland and the USA for the purchase of the Patriot system in July 2017. As a result, Poland joined the elite group of countries possessing weapons capable of countering enemy ballistic and maneuvering missiles. It also adjusts the domestic armed forces to the NATO standards and the requirements of the modern battlefield. An additional aspect of the existing cooperation between Poland and the USA is the agreement on the protection of classified information in the military sphere. In this context, the aim of this article is to identify the scope of cooperation between Poland and the USA in the area of security measures, which should guarantee the protection of classified information considering the interests of both countries. During the considerations, two basic research methods were used: analysis and synthesis. The former method was used in relation to the content of the concluded contract and the opinions presented in the literature on the subject. The latter method was used to formulate conclusions resulting from the conducted analysis. The considerations undertaken proved that there is an area of mutual cooperation in the field of protection of classified information between Poland and the USA. They also made it possible to obtain an answer to the question of what security measures determine the effectiveness of the protection of classified information in the military sphere between the contracting states.
