A characteristic feature of modern forms of use of the Armed Forces (AF) is the high dynamism of combat operations, and the main trend in the development of AF command and control systems (CCS) is the integration of various systems of communication, navigation, reconnaissance, information acquisition and processing, weapons, intelligent systems, automation of all formal and fast-moving processes. Geo-information systems (GIS), geo-information technologies (GIT), GPS and Earth remote sensing (ERS) technologies have become de facto a necessary technology for obtaining and processing spatial data in both civil and military spheres. The use of GIS for military purposes (MP) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will make it possible to conduct a qualitative analysis of spatial and attributive information, take effective management decisions, visualize the combat zone of both individual units and subunits, and the entire theater of operations, promptly display any changes in the combat situation, automate the process of updating maps, determining the coordinates of the desired objects, navigation, etc. It allows you to reduce the likelihood of errors and flaws, increase the speed of creating maps, speed up the processing of information and significantly improve the quality of decision-making by commanders of different levels and echelons who are involved in the process of making certain decisions, and ensure the same initial picture of fighting activities; support of knowledge of the military-object situation at the tactical, operational-tactical and operational levels; to ensure prompt delivery of information to interested authorized users.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Multi-criterial analysis is becoming one of the main methods for evaluation of influence of geographic environment on human activity, or human activity on geographic environment, respectively. Analysis results are often used in command and control systems, especially in armed forces and units of rescue systems. For analyses, digital geographic data – whose quality significantly influences the reached results – are used. Visualization of results of analyses in command and control systems are usually thematic layers over raster images of topographic maps. That is why this visualization must correspond to cartographic principles used for the creation of thematic maps. The article presents problems that an analyst encounters within the evaluation of the quality of the used data, performance of the analysis itself as well as preparation of data files for their transfer and publishing in command and control systems.</p>

AbstractVenice is considered the best-informed community of the late Middle Ages. The study examines the availability of information for the second half of the 15th century, particularly with regard to the key year 1462/1463, and as a case study concentrates on areas of the supposed Venetian periphery of interest, above all Hungary and the two principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia. The result is a thoroughly differentiated system of information acquisition, verification and control. Means of communication, as well as different areas of interest of the Serenissima, can be identified. A distinction is made between information maps and communication maps. The latter also include the distribution of news from the lagoon city exchanged with foreign envoys. During the period concerned, news was exchanged in an astonishingly liberal way, in turn integrating the Serenissima into the information networks of the other Italian states. The study thus places the „information commodity“ within the research field of late medieval gift exchange and patronage structures. In short, a thoroughly pragmatic Venetian approach to news acquisition and evaluation can be observed. Verification of the quality of the information obtained was subject not least to quantitative and ranking criteria. Ultimately, the informational power of Venice was based above all on its outstanding reputation among its contemporaries.

Abstract The membership of the country in the Euro-Atlantic structures, the professionalization of the Armed Forces and their participation in joint operations put the Bulgarian Army in front of the necessity to comply with the rules for communal-household provision applied in the NATO member states. As the resource constraint of the Military Budget, determined by the economic potential of the country, does not allow the construction of new military infrastructure objects, the current models for modernization, maintenance and utilization of the military infrastructure in the part of the communal-household provision of the Armed Forces are proposed. The implementation of the presented models is in response to solve problems in improving the maintenance and using military infrastructure elements. On the one hand, the applicability of the models requires the development of scientifically-based norms and legislation for the communal-household provision of the servicemen and on the other hand, it responds to the requirements for improving the quality of life of military personnel in the context of continuous structural reforms and transformations

This article proposes a unified theory of logistics for the Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine based on the existing theories of armament and the logistics of the Armed Forces, and on the general laws and established consistent patterns, trends, principles, forms and methods of the use of the logistics of the Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The objective function of the logistics system of the Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is formulated to achieve compliance of the capabilities of this system with the predicted volume of logistics tasks. In order to implement this compliance, it is necessary to ensure the convergence of requirements and capabilities at all levels of logistics management. The assessment of the functioning of the Air Forces logistics system of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is proposed on the basis of the stated views on the logistics theory of the Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine by assessing the set of real capabilities of each subsystem that is a part of its structure and system as a whole. At the same time, the assessment of the quality of the logistic support of the military units (formations) of the Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine should be related to the level of implementation of the potential capabilities of the logistics system when solving problems of each subsystem at the various stages of combat training, unblocking and operational deployment, the preparation and conduct of operations (combat actions), restoration of combat capability of troops (forces).

Since the former Cold War, the Federal Republic of Germany has had the closest, the most full-scale and different in the spectrum of tracks relations in the sphere of common strengthening of the defence capabilities with the continental Western European countries. First, these ones are France and the Netherlands. The article tries to explore German relations with these two countries in the military sphere during the modern period. The key research methods are event-analysis and comparative analysis. The paper covers the experience of the creation of the first bilateral and multilateral military groups of NATO member states` armed forces which consist of staffs and military forces of the mixed troop system. The article notes that first military groups of this kind were created on the territory of the united Germany and examines the reasons of this tendency. Special attention is paid to the development of German-Dutch Corpspotential. This one, the 1 st tank division and the division of rapid reaction forces (each of those divisions has one Dutch brigade) of the Bundeswehr are explored as military mechanisms of deep integration between the two countries. The article also identifies the features of military-technical German-Dutch cooperation, including their common efforts in the frames of Permanent Structured Cooperation platform. The article compares the scales and quality of German-Dutch and German-French cooperation. In this regard the paper rises the question about real military importance of German-French brigade and cooperation between two countries in military-technical field, including the creation of robotized technics. The paper shows the limits of German-French cooperation potential until the early 2020's.

Usually, planning a software testing requires solving the basic dilemma: how to provide quality of testing and spend optimal amount of resources. Typically, resources include components such as personnel, software, technical equipment, time, consumables and others. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have the same problems in planning and testing of programs that are expected to be used in the interests of troops and arms command and control. Testing can be performed by manual method and computer-aided method. The computer-aided method is faster but has its drawbacks. In particular, this method requires the development and then verification of a special program that will be involved in testing. In addition, this program may not detect certain problems that a person can notice. Therefore, the authors of the article propose to use the method of manual testing. It is proposed to apply a rational approach for reducing the time for planning and testing using this method. It refers to a significant reduction in the range of input values which will be checked. This approach provides a high quality testing program at the same time. The approach is based on the fact that the range (or list) of all possible values of each input variable is divided into several groups (equivalence classes). The separation is carried out by the principle that each equivalence class includes such input values, which will give the similar results after processing them by program. This approach is widely used by experts in the field of testing. It also meets the standards requirements applicable in Ukraine. There are two general classes of equivalence: accepted values and nonaccepted values. Each of them is divided into more specific ones. The separation is done leaning upon knowledge, skills and predictions of a specialist who is planning the testing. This article provides an example of dividing the input values of four variables into equivalence classes. The approach proposed by the authors of the publication allows to perform software testing faster and more rationally. It is assumed that such a method should be used during testing software that is intended to be used in the interests of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

All item flows are always accompanied by information flows. The condition of the goods flow between a sending point and a receipt point is exchange of information between a sender and a consignee. The role of scientific-technical and economic information in modern  agriculture grows successively. It is hard to imagine efficient management that would guarantee rational use of the factors of production, including respect for the environment, ensuring high quality of products and satisfaction of market requirements without it. Information is indispensable for both agricultural producers as well as producers and providers of production means and agricultural products consignees. Farms which strive to be competitive and which want to develop must use facilities of modern information technologies. The aim of the paper was to determine information acquisition methods and the relation to the level of equipment and the use of information infrastructure elements on commodity farms. The paper covered 50 agricultural farms located in the south Poland region. Information acquisition methods and the level of equipment and use of information infrastructure elements were determined. Respondents also evaluated which of the information acquisition methods was the best and which was the worst. It was concluded that the level of farm equipment in elements of information infrastructure was satisfactory and the information infrastructure methods guaranteed efficient farm management.

The military-pedagogical process is a complex socio-psychological phenomenon. Its essence lies in purposeful, motivated, substantive organizational and educational activities of all its subjects. This activity is aimed at preparing the military specialists who are able to successfully perform their functional duties both in peacetime and in modern war conditions. The strength of the country's defense capability and combat readiness in modern conditions is ensured by a high level of intellectual potential of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This potential is being formed as a set of potentials of highly qualified personnel of military specialists. Today the task of reforming military education is not limited only to structural and functional transformations of the educational base and restructuring of the educational process. It is necessary to create an environment (a system of higher military education) for constant spiritual and professional improvement of the individual and motivation to achieve a high level of military professionalism. Access of educational institutions to modern information technologies contributed to the emergence of interactive forms of learning and transformation of the subject of learning from a passive participant and its active involvement in the learning process. Given the development of digital technologies and the difficult state in which Ukraine found itself due to military action and the negative epidemiological situation, it is appropriate to create a system of higher military education using the subject-activity approach and the introduction of forms of distance learning. It is proposed to direct the military-pedagogical training of specialists along six lines. The assessment of the level of conformity of a serviceman's actual professional qualities with the requirements to the occupied military position is important in the professional-psychological selection in the Armed Forces. That is why it is expedient to develop a model of recreation of intellectual potential of servicemen and a methodology for evaluating the general level of intellectual resources of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In the basis of construction of such model it is offered to put directions of military-pedagogical training of military specialists together with professionally important criteria of evaluation of recreating of moral-psychological qualities of servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The author defined, that skilled and timely conducted information operations gives an opportunity to gain significant advantages over the enemy, in particular, through the implementation of moral and psychological impact on the population including the armed forces of the enemy and as well as on leaderships of countries. To confirm it, in the article presented examples of the results of conducted special information operations and its individual elements in different periods of human history. The article presents, that special information operations is not invention of the present, they appeared in ancient times simultaneously with emergence of armed confrontation, as an integral part of the armed struggle in the form of psychological way for weakening the enemy’s combat spirit and raising the fighting spirit of it’s own forces. The author highlights the information about the first facts of use informational and psychological influence such as: misinformation, propaganda, intimidation, which are elements of a special information operation. Their further transformation relates to the development of science and technology and the improvement of information technologies. Aa a result there are four form stages of the development of informational and psychological influence: verbal, telecommunication, technical and paper. The article states that the appearance of the internet and the information influence on a wide audience around the world that makes special information operation one of the most effective means of achieving external and internal political goals both in military and in peacetime as evidenced by the experience of their realization. At the present stage, special information operations have become a part of a new type of war, the so-called “Hybrid war” and provides significant impact on the military and political confrontation between the opponents countries.
