Equipment Testing

The world practice of creating and modernizing specimens of armament and military equipment envisages carrying out numerous tests, checks and evaluations of the current technical conditions throughout the life cycle. This leads to the need for improvement of the test system, the regulatory framework of which is a system of standards. Updating the standards that regulate preparation and testing of new and modernized specimens of armament and military equipment, based on best international and domestic experience, at the moment is actual and perspective development direction of the standardization system in the sphere of defence. The purpose of the article is to analyze the ways of implementing NATO standards and determine the feasibility of their application “by the method of confirmation” in the armament and military equipment testing system. During the research general scientific methods of processing and systematization of information, in particular system analysis and synthesis of organizational and technical systems, were applied. The current state of the system of standardization of armament and military equipment in Ukraine was analyzed. It was determined that at present the military standardization system in the Ministry of Defence and the Armed Forces of Ukraine practically corresponds to the standardization system of NATO. It was established that one of the main tasks of military standardization is the transition to European and NATO standards. Analysis of these normative documents has revealed that the main requirements are consistent through the identity of standards, as well as through the adoption of national standards by the “method of confirmation”. A comparative analysis of NATO standards STANAG 4370 and military standards ГОСТ В revealed the presence of significant differences in the classification of military equipment, the requirements for stability, sustainability and durability to the influence of external factors. It was noted that in Ukraine there is lack of practice of dissemination and use of the normative documents in English adopted by the “method of confirmation”; there is also a shortage of qualified specialists on standardization with a sufficient language competence, as well as lack of common research vocabulary in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, harmonized with national and international terminological systems. It was established that for the development of standardization system of armament and military equipment, in particular for conducting tests, it is recommended to use NATO standards as an information base, taking into account the domestic experience of the standardization system in developing requirements for reliability and stability to the influence of external factors. It was recommended to carry out the introduction of NATO standards by method of reissue (adaptation, translation) with the assistance of Ukrainian specialists on military standardization.

The Impact

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.

Ukraine's European and Euro-Atlantic course requires the implementation of a number of normative documents, including documents in the field of metrology and metrological activities. This demands the adaptation of existing and development of new regulations. The study examined and analyzed national standards adopted by the acceptance of NATO STANAG 4107. NATO Quality Assurance Standards recommend verification, validation and metrological confirmation for measuring equipment used in the design, development and manufacture of armaments and military equipment. An analysis of the definitions of the terms "verification", "validation" and "metrological confirmation" in different standards and in international and interstate dictionaries of metrology is carried out. Processes of verification, validation and metrological confirmation are offered taking into account the latest changes in the field of metrology and metrological activity, tests of armaments and military equipment and metrological support of tests, as well as some legislative acts of Ukraine in the field of technical regulation. Conformity assessment is used in international practice and in Ukraine to prove compliance with the established requirements. The analysis of the term "conformity assessment" is done in the article. The process of proving the fulfilment of the set requirements for checking the compliance of products with the requirements of technical regulations for measuring equipment used in the field or outside the field of legally regulated metrology is explained. In order to improve the regulatory framework of the metrological support system in the field of defence and harmonization of normative and guiding documents to modern requirements, it is proposed to develop "Technical regulations for measuring equipment of general military and special purpose" and "Methods of metrological confirmation of measuring equipment for testing armament and military equipment”. The time period for implementation of NATO standards in the field of development and production of armaments and military equipment was also taken into account.

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.

Emergency Supply

The backup power plays an important emergency supply role in industrial field and agricultural field. The emergency supply power (such as generator and Uninterrupted Power System etc.) is a standby state in most of the time. These devices only start to ensure electricity supply on the condition of power lose or power failure. It is difficult for users to know its real load performance. This paper designed a kind of intelligent AC (Alternating current) load test system based on PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) to solve the problem. There are signal acquisition part, the dummy load component and parameter display control part in testing load testing system, which can meet the general users of emergency power supply in daily inspection. We design the intelligent control for high performance and fine test users. The test results show that the intelligent AC load systems based on PLC can effectively detect power generation units and UPS emergency power supply in according with national standards.

A small intelligence robot (SSR) is a special military intelligence means. It is used to obtain information about the enemy - the collection of intelligence, the search for targets and target indication, observation of the situation, etc. The use of a small intelligence robot is assumed in various natural and climatic conditions: in temperate terrain, on soils with low bearing capacity, at low temperatures, in the desert, on sandy and marshy soils, on rocky soils, in elevated temperature and dustiness of air, and also in conditions highlands In the article an overview of modern developments of remotely controlled robotic military complexes, principles of their construction and perspective directions of development in the armed forces are reviewed. The issues of robotization of existing weapons and military equipment are considered. Every sample of a SSR used in combat action must possess all combat characteristics at once in an optimal ratio between them, ensuring its maximum effectiveness. Ignoring any of the properties or enhancing one property at the expense of others will not enable the full realization of the small surveillance robot. It is reasonable to select the relevant properties at the design stage, using the possibilities of mathematical modeling. The set of tactical and technical characteristics of the SSR allowed forming this. Its characteristics determine the scope and possibilities of application. The mathematical model of the SSR motion is written in the Matlab Simulink environment. Recorded mathematical model of SSR motion, formed single test cycle and input data allowed to conduct computer simulation of motion in possible conditions of operation of small surveillance robot.The single trial cycle presented contains a set of individual sites and reproduces the testing test cycle of a real polygon. On the basis of the developed tactical and technical characteristics of the SSR, the experimental sample was made. An example of the use of SSR for the intelligence of the settlement and at keeping the node of barriers has been provided. The efficiency of performing intelligence units’ tasks and reducing the risk of human losses are shown.
