VALIDATION OF L. SCONDI'S PORTRAIT SELECTION METHOD BASED ON THE ASSESSMENT AND MEASUREMENT OF PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGICAL REACTIONS OF RESPONDENTS

2025-02-28T17:32:34+02:00

An attempt is made to clarify the validity of the well-known projective method of portrait selection by L. Scondi on the basis of assessment and measurement of psychophysiological reactions of a person. The authors have developed an original method of validation of this method by comparing the results of the classical blank study according to this method with the results of the next polygraph survey of respondents, which was accompanied by a demonstration of portraits. It has been proven that the indicators of the strength of psychophysiological reactions that occur during the demonstration of portraits positively correlate with the results of a blank examination of the same respondents using the method of portrait choices. On the basis of the analysis of correlation coefficients, the validity indicators of L. Scondi's method have been clarified.

THE CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE'S STABILITY TO OVERTURNING ON A SURFACE WITH A LATERAL SLOPE WHEN FIRING FROM THE WEAPON

2025-02-28T18:14:53+02:00

The issue of evaluating vehicle stability on a side-sloped surface during weapon firing has been considered. A mathematical expression for determining the condition of vehicle stability on a side-sloped surface while firing weapons has been improved. Unlike known expressions, it takes into account the impact of the recoil force of weapons and the overturning and stabilizing moments it generates. A stability coefficient and a relative stability coefficient are proposed, enabling the assessment of the stability margin against overturning of a combat vehicle during weapon firing, as well as decision-making regarding its operational feasibility under various conditions or the use of more powerful weapons with correspondingly greater recoil forces.

METHOD OF ADAPTING THE RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM OF THE MOBILE COMPONENT OF THE TACTICAL COMMAND AND CONTROL UNIT OF THE NATIONAL GUARD OF UKRAINE TO THE CONDITIONS OF INTENTIONAL INTERFERENCE

2025-02-28T19:49:22+02:00

The article deals with the issues of interference and intelligence protection of radio communication means of the mobile component of the tactical command and control link in the conditions of active use of electronic warfare. The problems arising from the use of standard radio communication means that do not provide a sufficient level of protection against intentional interference and interception of signals by the enemy are analysed.

The necessity of developing a scientific and methodological apparatus for adapting the radio networks of the National Guard of Ukraine to the conditions of active interference is substantiated. An analysis of modern radio communication equipment used in the military, including portable radios, satellite communication systems, tactical Wi-Fi solutions and software-based radio networks, is carried out. It is determined that the existing communication systems do not provide effective counteraction to enemy radio jammers, especially in direct contact.

A new method of spatial interference rejection based on the optimal location and direction of antenna systems of ground-based transmitters and receivers of UHF/VHF and Wi-Fi radio signals is proposed. The proposed method takes into account the tactical situation, the territorial location of radio network nodes and allows to increase the interference immunity of radio channels by changing the characteristics of antenna systems.

A mathematical model of interaction between the elements of the radio communication system and active radio masking means is substantiated, which allows determining the optimal parameters of antenna systems and radiation power. The threshold values of the suppression coefficient are determined, at which the required quality of signal reception is guaranteed under the conditions of targeted concentrated interference. The concept of a stable radio communication zone is expanded, in particular, the dependence of its area on the shape of the radiation pattern and the distance between the elements of the communication system is substantiated.

For the first time, a comprehensive analysis of the combined effect of intentional interference and active radio jamming on the stability of radio channels is carried out, which allows a reasonable approach to planning radio communications in the conditions of electronic warfare. An algorithm for determining the area of stable exchange for the points of the operational map of combat operations is proposed, which allows to effectively plan the location of communication means and active radio masking means.

The practical significance of the obtained results lies in the possibility of applying the developed method in the creation of adaptive radio communication systems that take into account the real tactical situation, which can significantly increase the efficiency of troop management in the conditions of information influence of the enemy.

Unwavering trends regarding the further expansion of the practice of using unmanned systems (complexes) of land, air and sea (river) use in modern armed conflicts during the conduct of battles both at the tactical level and operations (special operations) at the operational and strategic levels are emphasized.

The modern experience of using unmanned systems is analyzed and possible further changes in the tactics of tactical-level units on the battlefield are predicted, taking into account the constant development of the latest technological capabilities in the field of reconnaissance, detection, destruction of targets and radio-electronic warfare.

Generalized problematic issues and challenges that have to be solved by tactical-level military commanders and individual specialists in the process of their deployment and application are highlighted.

Conclusions have been drawn regarding the expediency of taking into account the experience gained in the creation, deployment and functioning of units using unmanned systems in the process of developing similar units in the military formations of the National Guard of Ukraine.

The problem of the need to improve the process of selection (transfer) of training and preparation of candidates for service in units for the use of unmanned systems is emphasized. The problem of organizing their appropriate support and developing doctrinal documents on their application on the battlefield, taking into account the need to establish interaction and carry out coordination measures with units and formations in whose interests these units operate, is also emphasized.

Proposals have been submitted regarding the mandatory implementation of the process of studying the tactics of units and military formations of various branches of the military with the support of their actions by units using unmanned systems in military educational institutions.

COMPONENTS OF THE STRUCTURAL-FUNCTIONAL MODEL OF THE STUDY OF PERSONALITY IDENTITY IN THE CONDITIONS OF WAR

2025-02-28T20:39:16+02:00

The article considers the importance of identity for the post-traumatic growth of a personality in the conditions of a full-scale war, describes its dynamics. A theoretical analysis of the three components of the structural-functional model of identity research is carried out: cognitive, affective and conative.
