Methodology for substantiating the choice of the optimal aerial and ground reconnaissance-strike complexes according to the integral criterion “efficiency-cost-time”

In the modern realities of the development of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the current issue is the search for ways to create new aerial and ground integrated reconnaissance-strike complexes that are capable of quick reconnaissance and attack of an enemy. However, a reasonable choice of such a system should not create an excessive burden for the state economy in terms of its development, maintenance, and application, and must also have the prospect of timely bringing it to combat readiness. Therefore, this study considers a methodology for substantiating the choice of an optimal option of the reconnaissance-strike complex or system for its use in operations when developing programmes and development plans of the AF of Ukraine. The proposed methodology has an integral criterion for choosing a rational option of a reconnaissance-strike complex, which combines indicators for assessing the efficiency of the combat use of these systems under various conditions, the sufficiency of the state economic capabilities for its creation, maintenance, and use, and assessing the timeliness of its creation and bringing it to combat readiness. The method is based on a mathematical model of game theory. The decision to choose a particular option of the reconnaissance-strike complex occurs in conditions of uncertainty of the combat situation and the volume of tasks that would rely on these systems when performing combat tasks.

GRAPHIC-ANALYTICAL METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE PROBABILITY OF LOSS OF ELEMENTS OF THE ENGINE AND THE COMBAT COMPARTMENT OF LIGHTLY ARMORED VEHICLES OF THE GENERAL UNITS

The article considers a number of main factors that determine the probability of damage to the elements of the engine and combat compartment of lightly armored vehicles under the influence of fragmentation munitions. Also, the technique of calculation of probability of defeat of an element by one fragment is given. As a result, the idea of a graph- analytical method for determining the probability of hitting an element by one fragment is presented, which is that the set of possible flight of the fragment to the element is divided into subsets by the number of walls of the engine and combat compartment of lightly armored vehicles. Then the required value of the probability of damage to the element by one fragment is determined.One of the main striking factors is the rapid flow of fragments that hit lightly armored vehicles, thus reducing the combat readiness of the unit. At present, the question of calculating the probability of damage to the elements of lightly armored vehicles of general military units is insufficiently studied.During the calculations of the graph-analytical method for determining the probability of damage to the elements of the engine and combat compartment of lightly armored vehicles, attention was focused on determining the required value of the probability of damage to the element by one fragment, which has not been proposed so far.The idea of a graph-analytical method for determining the probability of damage to an element by a single fragment is as follows. The whole set of directions of possible flight of the fragment to the element is divided into subsets by the number of walls of the engine and combat compartment of lightly armored vehicles. Within each subset, all directions are divided into parts, within each of which the value hijs is constant.The values of Sijs and hijs are determined for each part. The value of Sijs determines the probability of impact of the fragment from these directions, and the value of hijs - the probability of breaking the protective barrier.Then the required value of the probability of damage to the element by one fragment is determined. Thus, the use of a graphical-analytical method to determine the probability of damage to the elements of lightly armored vehicles of all-military units will increase the possibility of evacuation and restoration of weapons and military equipment after destruction by shrapnel munitions.And reducing the time for evacuation, speeding up the process of restoring damaged equipment in combat and increasing the intensity of the recovery system from recovery to use will increase the likelihood of using recovered equipment and, consequently, increase combat readiness.

Rationalization of the organization of new industries and technological processes at the ship-repair enterprises of the Navy during the Great Patriotic War

В годы Великой Отечественной войны руководством НКВМФ уделялось большое внимание рационализаторской работе на флоте. Что принесло ощутимые результаты в поддержании боевой готовности кораблей и частей ВМФ, в совершенствовании техники и средств вооружения, но прежде всего стало серьезным стимулом в развитии творческой инициативы командиров и краснофлотцев. Не остались без внимания и такие флотские структуры как судоремонтные предприятия (заводы и мастерские флотов и флотилий). В 1943–1944 годы Техническое управление НКВМФ, с целью обобщения опыта рационализаторской работы судоремонта обратилось к руководителям этих предприятий с требованием представить для анализа и обобщения наиболее важные и значимые рационализаторские предложения, направленные на развитие производства и совершенствование технологических процессов. В 1944 году, на основе обобщенного опыта рационализаторской работы на судоремонтных предприятиях ВМФ Техническим управлением НКВМФ был издан сборник «Опыт судоремонта и освоение новых видов производства на судоремонтных предприятиях ВМФ в Отечественную войну». В данном документе, с целью распространения и использования, были представлены наиболее интересные и перспективные изобретения и рационализаторские предложения, разработанные и реализованные на судоремонтных предприятиях по 1944 год. During the Great Patriotic War, the leadership of the NKVMF paid great attention to rationalization work in the fleet. This brought tangible results in maintaining the combat readiness of ships and units of the Navy, in improving equipment and weapons, but above all it became a serious incentive in the development of the creative initiative of commanders and Red Navy men. Such naval structures as ship repair enterprises (factories and workshops of fleets and flotillas) did not go unnoticed either. In 1943-1944, the NKVMF Technical Directorate, in order to summarize the experience of the rationalization work of ship repair, turned to the heads of these enterprises with the requirement to submit for analysis and generalization the most important and significant rationalization proposals aimed at the development of production and the improvement of technological processes. In 1944, on the basis of the generalized experience of rationalization work at the naval shipyards, the NKVMF Technical Directorate published the collection "Experience of ship repair and the development of new types of production at naval shipyards in the Patriotic War." In this document, in order to disseminate and use it, the most interesting and promising inventions and rationalization proposals developed and implemented at shipyards until 1944 were presented.

THE OPERATIONAL READINESS FOR ANTI SUBMARINE INDONESIAN NAVAL BY USING ANTI SUBMARINE HELICOPTER

Some of the Indonesian naval effort to see and protect the Indonesian territory is by using Helicopter sea patrol. In the other side, submarines are the most strategic weapons in the world that can provide a deterrence effect which has a very significant impact on the maritime powers of the countries operating them in the era of generation 4.0 war. Operational readiness is very important, there are readiness in building operational readiness for naval defense through budget fulfillment, utilization of existing resources, procurement and naval modernization by paying attention to Life Cycle Cost, and interoperability while still paying attention to paradigm shifts in naval capability. So, the combat readiness is the condition of the Indonesian Navy's defense equipment and its constituent units, resources and personnel, weapon systems and other military technology equipment in a condition that is ready to carry out military operations in an unspecified time, or function consistent with the purpose for which the defense equipment is organized or designed, the management of resources and training personnel in preparation for combat in the face of the threat of modern warfare in a state of constant combat readiness. At this time, training in Anti-Submarine Warfare conducted by Indonesian Navy’s Helicopter is still limited to carrying out flight procedures, communication procedures with the KRI and the command line, because Helicopters have sensors, weapons and command that need to be upgraded and The personnel also have underwater warfare capabilities that need to be upgraded, so there needs to be an increase in the capability of the helicopter and human resources. Technometry will be used to calculate the Heli's current readiness level. Keywords: Submarine, Anti Submarine Helicopter and operational readiness

The Key to Combat Readiness Is a Strong Military–Civilian Partnership

ABSTRACT Introduction In peacetime, it is challenging for Army Forward Resuscitative Surgical Teams (FRST) to maintain combat readiness as trauma represents <0.5% of military hospital admissions and not all team members have daily clinical responsibilities. Military surgeon clinical experience has been described, but no data exist for other members of the FRST. We test the hypothesis that the clinical experience of non-physician FRST members varies between active duty (AD) and Army reservists (AR). Methods Over a 3-year period, all FRSTs were surveyed at one civilian center. Results Six hundred and thirteen FRST soldiers were provided surveys and 609 responded (99.3%), including 499 (81.9%) non-physicians and 110 (18.1%) physicians/physician assistants. The non-physician group included 69% male with an average age of 34 ± 11 years and consisted of 224 AR (45%) and 275 AD (55%). Rank ranged from Private to Colonel with officers accounting for 41%. For AD vs. AR, combat experience was similar: 50% vs. 52% had ≥1 combat deployment, 52% vs. 60% peri-deployment patient load was trauma-related, and 31% vs. 32% had ≥40 patient contacts during most recent deployment (all P > .15). However, medical experience differed for AD and AR: 18% vs. 29% had >15 years of experience in practice and 4% vs. 17% spent >50% of their time treating critically injured patients (all P < .001). These differences persisted across all specialties, including perioperative nurses, certified registered nurse anesthetists, operating room (OR) techs, critical-care nurses, emergency room (ER) nurses, licensed practical nurse (LPN), and combat medics. Conclusions This is the first study of clinical practice patterns in AD vs. AR, non-physician members of Army FRSTs. In concordance with previous studies of military surgeons, FRST non-physicians seem to be lacking clinical experience as well. To maintain readiness and to provide optimal care for our injured warriors, the entire FRST, not just individuals, should embed within civilian centers.
