ASSESSMENT OF CHARACTERISTICS OF RADIO COMMUNICATION CHANNELS OF RADIO-CONTROLLED AMMUNITION

Abstract

The analysis of frequency ranges of radio-controlled ammunition, losses on the radio signal propagation route and bandwidth and receiver sensitivity is based on the results of which methods of substantiation of technical characteristics of mobile antenna systems of radio-controlled ammunition neutralization means are considered.

Regardless of the level of economic, political and social development, any state cannot fully protect itself from the emergence of various emergencies related to the possibility of social or armed conflicts, manifestations of terrorist threats and others. As a rule, such situations are characterized by unexpected occurrence, unpredictability and rapid development of events, which create an increased danger to the functioning of state and public institutions, pose a threat to life and health of citizens and personnel involved in national security of Ukraine, including the NGU. At the same time, the problem of protecting NGU personnel when using the probable opposite side of radio-controlled ammunition comes to the fore. Currently, the NGU does not have any means of electronic disposal of radio-controlled ammunition. Thus, there is a problem of substantiating the need to create such methods and tools using modeling of various aspects of the use of such ammunition and their disposal. The first step in creating these methods and tools is to identify and analyze the characteristics of radio channels of radio-controlled ammunition using a variety of mobile antenna systems. These parameters of radio-controlled ammunition significantly determine the ability of NGU units to counter their actions in carrying out tasks to ensure the national security of Ukraine. The results of the analysis of frequency ranges, range of radio‒controlled ammunition are obtained. Losses on the route of radio signal propagation and bandwidth and sensitivity of receivers can be used as input data in creating a method of substantiation of technical characteristics of mobile antenna systems for radioactive ammunition disposal. The direction of further research is to determine the features of electronic disposal of radio-controlled ammunition.
