Development of technologies for creating materials, environments and coatings with specified electrophysical characteristics for practical implementation in production and widespread use of observability attenuation technologies of surface, air, space, abovewater objects, surface-based installations, troops for the needs of Armed Forces of Ukraine and other military formations, impacts of artificial sources of electromagnetic radiation on the human body today is especially relevant. Nowadays, "stealth technologies" include the following main areas: the theory of diffraction on bodies of complex shape, research and development of radio-absorbing materials, coating technology and, finally, radiophysical experiment, which is used for control in each of these areas. One of the most important tasks is to reduce the level of signals generated by the reflection of electromagnetic waves emitted by radars, since radars still remain the most "long-range" means of detecting targets and air defense systems aiming. To date, "stealth technology" begins with mathematical modeling of electromagnetic wave scattering on an object, the radar visibility of which should be reduced. This step is essential for a preliminary assessment of the possible result and allows optimizing the shape and electrophysical characteristics of the object. The world leading countries have developed absorbing materials that capable to provide electromagnetic compatibility of the electronic equipment, camouflaging and counteraction to radio technical intelligence, use in designs of the radio electronic equipment. The comparative analysis of the developings that are promising for usage as radio-absorbing materials and radio-absorbing covering is carried out in the work. In the future, it is planned to expand the shielding frequency range and the range of use of absorbing coatings to protect personnel and equipment from electromagnetic emission.

Today, the problem of ensuring the effectiveness of the system of testing weapons and military equipment remains relevant. According to the existing national legislation and the accepted standards, separate specialized institutions are involved in the testing of samples of armaments and military equipment. One of the methods of improving the efficiency of test centers and institutions is the automation of all processes that accompany the testing of samples of weapons, military equipment and special equipment. The article highlights the approaches to the design and practical implementation of the information system to support the testing of weapons and military equipment. Its possible functional composition is considered. It is assumed that the information system should automate all processes in the test facility that are somehow related to the tests.Based on the analysis of existing guidance documents and scientific and technical information sources, the composition of the main functional components of the information system of test support is proposed. The necessity of introducing a management component into the information system for the implementation of a targeted approach to the management of a testing facility is substantiated. Reclassification of tasks of information databases on stages of carrying out tests is done. Based on the generalized scheme of testing the conceptual model of information system of support of tests is offered.The approximate composition of individual software modules and the content of databases are given.The expediency of using a spiral model of software design for the development of a comprehensive full-featured information system for test support is substantiated.

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.

Modern radio-electronic systems (RES) of weapons and military equipment (WME) are more functionally and structurally sophisticated that results in high requirements for their effective operation organisation. Insufficient level of technical knowledge among RES WME operational and maintenance personnel often results in increase of operability restoration period of these items in case of failures. This, in its turn, results in decrease of the readiness level of the RES WME pieces. In order to reduce duration of the RES WME restoring repair in case of failures, methods and tools of the auto-mated informational support of the operational and maintenance personnel activities related to the WME operation and restoring repair are developed. This article is devoted to development of a model of the automated informational support of the personnel activities in order to find rational options of the RES WME maintenance and repair organisation. The study results related to feasibility evaluation and development of the automated technical operation system model for the radio-electronic equipment incorporated in the AD WME are provided.

AbstractThe capability for actual measurements—not just simulations—of the dynamical behavior of THz electromagnetic waves, including interactions with prevalent 3D objects, has become increasingly important not only for developments of various THz devices, but also for reliable evaluation of electromagnetic compatibility. We have obtained real-time visualizations of the spatial evolution of THz electromagnetic waves interacting with a single metal micro-helix. After the micro-helix is stimulated by a broadband pico-second pulse of THz electromagnetic waves, two types of anisotropic re-emissions can occur following overall inductive current oscillations in the micro-helix. They propagate in orthogonally crossed directions with different THz frequency spectra. This unique radiative feature can be very useful for the development of a smart antenna with broadband multiplexing/demultiplexing ability and directional adaptivity. In this way, we have demonstrated that our advanced measurement techniques can lead to the development of novel functional THz devices.

Increasing the reliability requirements for electromagnetic compatibility of electronic equipment requires the creation of protective coatings that absorb electromagnetic radiation or the development of new radio-absorbing materials. In the frequency range up to 1 GHz, radio-absorbing materials based on Ni – Zn ferrites are of the greatest interest. The absorption of electromagnetic radiation by ferrites occurs due to resonant phenomena at the level of domains and atoms. Improving the performance of ferrites is possible by modifying their surface properties. In this paper, gradient structures for electromagnetic radiation protection products are obtained by treating the surface of Ni – Zn ferrite samples with a low-energy electron beam. To generate the electron beam, a unique development was used — a forevacuum plasma electronic source that allows forming and transporting a beam with a power density of up to 105 W/cm2 under conditions of high pressure and high gas release. As a result of processing, gradient structures were found on the surface of ferrites. A theoretical analysis and experimental study of the obtained structures “non – magnetic conductor – ferrite”, characterized by an increased attenuation coefficient and a reduced reflection coefficient of electromagnetic radiation in the frequency range from 0.5 to 2.5 GHz. The possibility of obtaining near-surface layers depleted in zinc with increased electrical conductivity and reduced magnetic permeability is shown.
