SELECTION OF LOCATIONS FOR GROUND BASED OPTICAL SURVEILLANCE DEVICES BASED ON THE FUZZY PROBABILITY MODEL
When choosing the location of groundbased optical surveillance devices (NOSN), the problem arises of evaluating the suitability of a particular area of terrain or choosing the best of a number of considered ones, provided that the ability to perform professional tasks with specified characteristics is quantified. A method for solving this problem is proposed by constructing a fuzzyprobability model of a generalized (integral) indicator of the quality of NOS placements based on the knowledge and experience of experts. Such an indicator is determined by a systemically confirmed set of seven linguistic variables included in the factor space for constructing a fuzzy probability model in the form of a nonlinear polynomial expression. At the same time, the dependent variablethe ability to perform the task with the specified characteristicsindirectly determines the degree of the best placement of the NOS, taking into account its astroclimate. Practical recommendations on the choice and justification of the factor space are given, the main stages of constructing a fuzzy probability model are shown, and the degree of adequacy of calculations based on it to the actual ability to perform tasks with specified characteristics, evaluated by independent experts, for the locations of NOS in various geographical regions of the Russian Federation.
