The motivational sphere of military personnel and the identification of key determinants shaping it

Ihor Avilov — 2025-12-29

The article presents an extended theoretical and methodological analysis of the motivational sphere of personality, highlighting its complex, multidimensional structure and the dynamic transformations it undergoes under various life and professional conditions. Particular emphasis is placed on clarifying the psychological mechanisms and determinants that shape the development, regulation, and expression of motivation, especially in demanding, high-stress professional environments that require rapid adaptation and sustained self-regulation. The study proposes an integrated conceptual model of the motivational sphere that includes value-orientation, mobilization, actualization, and realization components, each corresponding to distinct psychological processes and stages of motivated behavior.
A special focus is devoted to the motivational development of military personnel, whose professional activity is influenced by a unique combination of internal dispositions and external situational factors. The article identifies key determinants such as intrinsic motivation, internalized military values, a sense of duty and responsibility, discipline, professional competence and preparedness, family relationships, social and institutional support systems, leadership quality, group cohesion, and psychological resilience. These factors are examined as interrelated elements that collectively shape adaptive capacity, operational effectiveness, emotional stability, and readiness to perform under conditions of risk, uncertainty, and prolonged tension.
The article underscores the importance of viewing the motivational sphere as a holistic and evolving psychological system. Such an approach enables more precise assessment of motivational states and allows for the development of targeted, evidence-based strategies to enhance the functional and psychological readiness of military personnel. The analysis provides a solid conceptual foundation for future empirical studies and for improving psychological support programs, training methodologies, and motivational interventions within the Security and Defense Forces of Ukraine.

The state of scientific research on issues related to the activities of the State Migration Service of Ukraine as an entity for the prevention of criminal offences

Veronika Belinska — 2025-12-29

A comprehensive analysis of the state of scientific research concerning the activities of the State Migration Service of Ukraine as an entity preventing criminal offenses has been conducted. The relevance of the topic is driven by growing migration processes, the spread of illegal migration, the intensification of transnational crime, and the need to strengthen Ukraine's criminological and state security amidst contemporary challenges. It is substantiated that the effective prevention of migration-related crime is impossible without clearly defining the role and functional purpose of the State Migration Service of Ukraine within the national system of crime prevention.
The administrative-legal, criminological, socio-legal, institutional, and international-legal approaches to studying the activities of the State Migration Service of Ukraine, as presented in the works of domestic scholars, are summarized. Scientific perspectives on the legal status, powers, organizational principles of functioning, and interagency interaction of the State Migration Service of Ukraine with law enforcement agencies and other entities ensuring criminological security have been analyzed. It has been established that most existing studies focus on individual aspects of the service's activities or on combating specific types of migration offenses, failing to form a holistic vision of its preventive (criminological) potential.
Particular attention is given to identifying gaps in the scientific framework supporting the activities of the State Migration Service of Ukraine as an entity preventing criminal offenses. These include the lack of a comprehensive theoretical and methodological concept, insufficient study of how to evaluate the effectiveness of preventive measures, and the underutilization of modern information and analytical tools. It is concluded that further development of scientific research in this area should be directed toward forming a systematic approach to defining the content and implementation mechanisms of the preventive function of the State Migration Service of Ukraine as a crucial element in ensuring criminological and state security.

Organizational and management mechanisms for increasing the efficiency of actions of units of the National Guard of Ukraine in ensuring state security in the conditions of modern military hybrid threats

Yevhenii Briukhno — 2025-12-29

The article examines a comprehensive system of organizational and managerial mechanisms aimed at enhancing the operational effectiveness of the National Guard of Ukraine in ensuring state security under conditions of modern military-hybrid threats. The study emphasizes the multifunctional nature of the National Guard as a component of the national security and defense sector, capable of simultaneously performing combat, stabilization, protection, and counter-sabotage missions. Key factors affecting unit combat capability are identified, including centralized decision-making, insufficient digitalization, shortage of highly qualified specialists, and fragmented information exchange with other security structures. The necessity of transitioning to a modular unit structure based on the functional Recon–Strike–Support model is substantiated, as this approach increases maneuverability, autonomy, decision-making speed, and the efficiency of force employment in a multidomain operational environment.
The article outlines the prospects for integrating automated command-and-control systems, digital tactical mapping, redundant communication channels, and rapid-response algorithms that reduce the "detect – decide – act" cycle and enhance C2 resilience against electronic warfare and cyberattacks. Significant attention is devoted to improving personnel policy through accelerated training programs for UAV operators, EW specialists, intelligence analysts, and tactical medics; the development of a combat knowledge transfer system (AAR); and the creation of a unified database of tactical lessons learned. Additionally, a model for sustaining the psychophysiological resilience of personnel is proposed, including rehabilitation measures, optimized rotation cycles, and continuous psychological support during prolonged readiness.
A separate focus is placed on strengthening interagency cooperation through the establishment of joint operational centers, unification of response procedures, real-time exchange of operational data, and joint training programs with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, and other defense components. The article demonstrates that the implementation of the proposed mechanisms significantly increases the operational resilience, flexibility, adaptability, and overall effectiveness of the National Guard of Ukraine, contributing to the development of a modern, technologically equipped, and highly capable system of state security protection.

Methodology for calculating the integral coefficient of intelligence protection of armored vehicles of the Security and Defense Forces of Ukraine

Oleksii Horbov — 2025-12-29

The article presents a novel methodology for determining the integral coefficient of reconnaissance protection of armored vehicles used by the Security and Defense Forces of Ukraine. The rapid evolution of optical, infrared, radar, acoustic, seismic, and radio-technical reconnaissance systems has dramatically increased the probability of detection and subsequent destruction of armored vehicles on the modern battlefield. This highlights the urgent need for a formalized quantitative model capable of assessing the real level of multispectral detectability of armored platforms, taking into account both passive and active factors, including the operation of electronic warfare systems and counter-radio-controlled munition protection complexes.
The study substantiates reconnaissance protection as an integral property of an armored vehicle that reflects its ability to remain low-observable to the enemy across multiple detection channels. The proposed approach introduces a weighted aggregation model that combines partial coefficients of acoustic, thermal, optical, infrared, radar, seismic (vibration), and radio-technical visibility. Each coefficient is normalized based on field measurements, empirical data, or expert evaluation. The influence of active emitters ‒ electronic warfare systems, communication equipment, and counter-UAV jamming modules ‒ is incorporated through an additional radio-technical visibility factor, which significantly affects the overall detectability of a vehicle.
A ten-step methodology is developed, covering identification of combat conditions, detection spectra, monitoring of signature sources, normalization of visibility indicators, determination of weighting coefficients, and calculation of the integral index. The method enables scenario-based assessment of detectability during movement, firing, operation of EW/RCIED-countermeasures, deployment, or static concealment. The obtained integral coefficient allows classification of reconnaissance protection levels and supports operational planning decisions regarding routes, deployment positions, masking measures, and optimization of equipment settings.
The proposed model establishes a direct link between multispectral signature formation and the probability of detection, tracking, and targeting of armored vehicles. The results create scientific grounds for improving survivability, modernizing armored platforms, enhancing counter-reconnaissance capabilities, and integrating signature-management measures into a broader system of ensuring national security. Future research will focus on evaluating the effectiveness of counter-radio-controlled munition systems, forecasting UAV reconnaissance activity, and developing technologies for active degradation of enemy intelligence channels.

Methodological approaches to identifying the features of false information within the information security system of the Defense Forces of Ukraine

Dmytro Dzhendzhero — 2025-12-29

The article substantiates the conceptual and methodological foundations for identifying the characteristics of false information within the information security system of the Defense Forces of Ukraine, emphasizing the growing importance of information security and cognitive resilience in contemporary conflicts. The study systematizes and critically analyzes modern approaches to the detection of disinformation, integrating cognitive, content-semantic, behavioral, technical, and source-based dimensions. It is established that the majority of existing studies address only partial aspects of this phenomenon, lacking a unified methodological framework capable of combining qualitative and quantitative parameters of credibility assessment.
The proposed approach introduces a comprehensive classification of five groups of false information indicators and defines specific quantitative metrics for their evaluation. These include entropy and frequency analysis of textual data, Zipf's law for lexical distribution regularities, TF-IDF weighting for semantic relevance, cosine similarity for intertextual comparison, and the replication rate coefficient to model the dynamics of message dissemination. The integration of these components forms an integral credibility model that enables the transition from descriptive assessments to formalized, measurable evaluation of information veracity.
The developed methodological framework allows for a multi-layered analysis of information content and dissemination patterns, providing a more objective basis for detecting manipulative or disinformative narratives within hybrid influence operations. The results obtained contribute to the advancement of scientific understanding of disinformation mechanisms and create a foundation for the development of automated analytical systems capable of identifying hybrid information threats in real time.
The study's practical significance lies in its potential application for the design of intelligent information monitoring systems and early warning mechanisms against disinformation campaigns. Future research directions include the refinement of weighting coefficients for credibility indicators through machine learning, the extension of the model to multimedia content, and the exploration of cognitive response dynamics as a critical factor in the spread of false information.

Expert-analytical model of assessment of the geopolitical capability of a state based on the implementation of strategic planning measures for the development of the defense-industrial complex

Viktor Muzhenko — 2025-12-29

The theoretical and methodological principles of forming an expert and analytical model for assessing the geopolitical power of a state as a key tool for strategic planning for the development of the defense-industrial complex are considered. The relevance of the topic is due to the transformation of the international security system, the growth of conflict potential in the world, and the need to ensure the effective functioning of the national strategic management system in the face of hybrid threats. The research proposes an improved conceptual and terminological basis for modern geopolitics and introduces the concept of "geopolitical power" into scientific circulation as an integral characteristic of a state's ability influence international processes through a combination of military, economic, demographic, natural resource, technological and social factors.
Based on the analysis of currently used approaches, the need to create a system for quantitatively assessing the level of geopolitical power is substantiated, which will allow moving from subjective expert assessments to a unified methodology of strategic analysis. The proposed model is based on a multi-level hierarchy of factors and their indicators, including: mathematical-geographic, natural-resource, socio-geographic, political- and military-geographic, communication, economic, etc. For each of them, the weight in the overall structure of geopolitical power has been determined, as well as the possibility of their digital modeling using special-purpose computer technology M7. The use of the T. Saati scale ensures the objectivity of expert assessment, and the construction of a database of factors and indicators opens up prospects for automated analysis of the geopolitical situation of the state.
The results of the study can be used for strategic planning of the development of the security and defense sector of Ukraine, as well as for conducting a systematic analysis of the foreign policy environment.
The proposed model creates a basis for further development of a methodology for assessing the military power of the states of the region and improving approaches to the digitalization of national security processes. It is emphasized that the practical implementation of the model will contribute to increasing the efficiency of management decisions in the field of defense planning and strengthening Ukraine's positions in the global geopolitical space.

Phenomenology of professional deformation among military psychologists of the National Guard of Ukraine under martial law

Kristina Onyshchuk — 2025-12-29

The article analyzes the phenomenology of professional deformation among military psychologists of the National Guard of Ukraine under martial law. The study was conducted as an anonymous survey; the final analytical sample comprised N=38 participants. Manifestations of deformation were assessed using an author-developed list of 20 indicators (five-point frequency scale), combined with blocks addressing barriers in professional activity and support resources. The findings indicate that most manifestations occur with moderate frequency, while five demonstrate high intensity: external motivation for professional activity; a formal, functional approach to people; decreased empathy; loss of meaning in professional activity; and stagnation of professional development.
Factor analysis identified four key components of deformation: (1) maladaptive rigidity and interpersonal tension; (2) affective reduction; (3) external regulation and role inflation; and (4) hyper-responsibility. Among the leading socio-psychological barriers in professional activity, respondents most frequently reported insufficient rest/sleep and resource exhaustion, low client readiness, and the absence of regular supervision/intervision. The primary organizational obstacles were bureaucratic demands and a lack of material resources.
The principal recovery resources included time spent with family and close others, collegial support, humor and brief team-based "recovery rituals", and physical activity. The practical significance of the study lies in the applicability of the results for monitoring the psycho-emotional state of military psychologists, timely identification of professional risks, organization of preventive measures, and development of professional support programs. Future research envisages the development of an authorial diagnostic instrument for assessing professional deformation among military psychologists and the empirical validation of the theoretical model.

Improved method for timely evacuation of damaged armored vehicle samples under combat conditions

Yaroslav Pavlov — 2025-12-29

An improved method for the timely evacuation of damaged armored vehicle samples under combat conditions is considered, aimed at increasing the effectiveness of technical support for military units and minimizing the time required to return equipment to a combat-ready state. The relevance of the problem is обусловлена the high tempo of maneuver–fire operations, the growing share of damaged equipment subject to recovery, as well as the need to reduce risks to personnel during evacuation activities.
The proposed method is based on the use of an adapted linear transportation problem, which makes it possible to formalize the process of distributing evacuation flows between areas where damaged equipment is located and maintenance and repair points. The model is founded on an integral coverage function that accounts for natural and climatic conditions, terrain accessibility, risks, energy expenditures, combat potential, and the technical condition of each equipment sample. Among the additional criteria is the importance indicator of a sample, which includes the combat readiness index, the uniqueness and cost coefficients, as well as the recovery potential. This enables the determination of evacuation priorities under conditions of limited resources.
An algorithm for solving the transportation problem in real time has been developed using linear programming methods and iterative recalculation, which ensures dynamic adaptation of the evacuation plan to changes in the combat situation. The obtained results indicate that the application of the improved method will significantly reduce the time damaged equipment remains in the risk zone, increase the efficiency of repair and evacuation units, and decrease the probability of equipment loss.
The practical significance of the developed method lies in the possibility of its implementation within the decision support system of the technical service of the National Guard of Ukraine, which will ensure increased coordination, responsiveness, and substantiation of evacuation actions under modern combat conditions.

Scientific justification of the transformation of the functions of the National Guard of Ukraine during the post-war recovery period

Mykhailo Puzyrov — 2025-12-29

A scientific justification for the transformation of the functions of the National Guard of Ukraine during the post-war state recovery period is provided, taking into account contemporary security challenges, the consequences of the russian federation's full-scale armed aggression, and the prospects for the development of Ukraine's security and defence sector. It is established that the prolonged performance of combat tasks by the National Guard of Ukraine under conditions of martial law has led to significant changes in its functional purpose, which require scholarly reconsideration in the context of the transition from war to peace.
Using historical-comparative, systemic, structural-functional, and prognostic methods, the evolution of the functions of the National Guard of Ukraine is analysed, the main scenarios for the development of the NGU after the cessation of active hostilities are identified, and the key factors that will influence the transformation of the NGU's functions in the post-war period are determined. International experience of the activities of guard and gendarmerie-type formations in post-conflict states is synthesised. The study proves that post-war recovery does not require a reduction in the role of the National Guard of Ukraine, but rather its adaptation to new security conditions associated with the maintenance of public order, the stabilisation of societal processes, the response to internal threats, and the enforcement of law and order in de-occupied territories.
The expediency of implementing a balanced model for the transformation of the functions of the National Guard of Ukraine is substantiated. This model combines the preservation of combat capability with the development of stabilisation, law-enforcement, and humanitarian functions. It is emphasised that such a model is consistent with European and Euro-Atlantic approaches to the functioning of gendarmerie-type forces and will contribute to strengthening the institutional resilience of the state security system in the post-conflict period. It is concluded that a scientifically grounded transformation of the functions of the National Guard of Ukraine constitutes an important prerequisite for ensuring internal stability, public security, and the sustainable development of the state during the post-war recovery period.

New approaches to assessing the implementation of measures of budget programs (subprograms) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine

Serhii Ratushniak — 2025-12-29

The article proposes new approaches to assessing the implementation of measures of budget programs (subprograms) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, in particular, regarding the feasibility and effectiveness of spending budget funds aimed at achieving the planned indicators of budget programs (subprograms).
Modern assessment methods used today are not sufficiently perfect: they mostly record only the fact of achieving the effective indicators of budget programs (subprograms) and deviations from the planned effective indicators, but do not provide complete information about the reliability of data in the processes of defense planning, budgeting and financial support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This emphasizes the relevance of developing and implementing new approaches.
Assessment is defined as a process that results in an objective assessment of the effectiveness of budget programs (subprograms), formed on the basis of relevant indicators at a certain stage of the budget cycle. Such an assessment creates the basis for making informed management decisions regarding the organization of measures under the relevant budget program (subprogram), its further planning and financing.
The proposed approaches make it possible to carry out both qualitative and quantitative assessments of the implementation of budget programs (subprograms) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, to timely identify planning deficiencies and prevent them both during the implementation of programs and at the stage of forming prospective defense planning measures and financial support for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In conditions of limited financial resources and full-scale armed aggression of the russian federation against Ukraine, these approaches provide greater transparency of the budget process. They allow determining (obtaining) an assessment of the use of funds for the implementation (planning) of budget programs (subprograms) of the Ministry of Defense, taking into account:
‒ an indicator of the effectiveness of the implementation of budget programs (subprograms);
‒ an indicator of the cost of financing the life cycle of the procurement object;
‒ an indicator of the impact of risks on the implementation of budget programs (subprograms);
‒ an indicator of the necessary resources under the legal regime of martial law.
Thus, new approaches contribute to increasing the efficiency, transparency, and justification of the implementation of measures of budget programs (subprograms) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

Developing the readiness of logistics officers to control the quality of fuel and lubricants in their professional competence system

Vitalii Sahan — 2025-12-29

The article is devoted to substantiating the importance of the physical, chemical and operational properties of fuel and lubricants in shaping the professional competence of rear officers of state border guard agencies. The authors emphasise that the quality of fuel and lubricants is a critical factor in combat readiness and trouble-free operation of equipment, and therefore their control requires officers not only to know the regulatory documents, but also to have practical skills in sampling, the use of laboratory methods and rapid analysis. Based on an analysis of the requirements of the Statutes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the guiding documents of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, contradictions have been identified between the normative nature of training and the real needs of units operating in combat conditions where there is no stationary laboratory base. The types of tests for fuel and lubricants, the procedure for their application, and the relationship between physical and chemical parameters (viscosity, fractional composition, flash point, pour point, etc.) and the operational reliability of equipment are considered in detail. The authors argue that an officer's ability to make decisions on the suitability of fuel for use directly depends on the development of SKs24 competence, which includes mastery of methods for controlling physical and chemical properties.
Substantiates the need to modernise the content of the educational and professional programme "Organisation of the Activities of the Support Units of the State Border Guard Service" by integrating practically oriented modules that simulate the real conditions of combat operation of equipment. The directions for further research are formulated: the creation of a mobile laboratory kit, the digitisation of fuel and lubricant quality control, and the development of case methods for future officers.
We see the prospect of further research in the need to develop and improve the educational and methodological support of educational and professional programmes for training logistics officers and professional training programmes for junior specialists in the fuel and lubricant supply service.

Research on the effectiveness of the method of recognition of a person's state under drug induction in law enforcement activities

Oleksandr Skliar — 2025-12-29

The issue of the impact of drugs on the human body is being studied by many medical specialists. In the law enforcement sphere, issues of drug crimes have been studied, directions for improving the regulatory and legal regulation of the interaction of units fighting drug crime have been developed, methodological recommendations for the actions of patrol police officers when detecting offenses related to illegal drug trafficking, etc. However, all these studies were created without taking into account the specifics of the impact of different types of drugs on a person. The research we conducted established that today there is no systematic series of visual identification by police officers of a drug under the influence of which a person is and systematic recommendations on the communication and tactics of a police officer with a drug-intoxicated person, taking into account the specifics of the impact of various drugs on the behavior and body of the latter. Therefore, we have analyzed for the first time the effect of narcotic drugs (opioids, stimulants, depressants, inhalants, cannabinoids, depressants, designer drugs) on the human body. External signs (physiological and behavioral) have been systematized in a single table. In order to ensure the readiness of a police officer for unpredictable actions in the behavior of a person intoxicated with narcotics, depending on the narcotic drug used, the person's behavior is divided into levels of resistance (passive, active, aggressive) that he may commit. In accordance with the possible resistance shown by the offender in narcotics intoxication, we have developed recommendations for police officers regarding communication tactics and actions with the latter. It has been experimentally proven that due to additional classes among police officers and the provision of relevant materials on communication and tactics with persons under the influence of various narcotic drugs, the effectiveness of the performance of official duties by police officers on case tasks has significantly increased, compared to past experience. It has been determined that the recognition of a person in a state of drug intoxication is the ability of a police officer to visually recognize a drug-intoxicated person by external signs and determine which drug he is under the influence of. This skill, as a skill of personal security of a police officer, will significantly increase the professional and competent component of the National Police of Ukraine when performing official tasks.

The role of the information and analytical component in the field of state security

Kostiantyn Sporyshev — 2025-12-29

The article explores the role and significance of information and analytical systems in ensuring Ukraine's national security under conditions of hybrid threats, cyber confrontation, and rapid technological advancement. It emphasizes that modern security processes are impossible without systematic data collection, analysis, forecasting, and interpretation, which together form the basis for informed managerial decision-making in crisis situations. The main problem is identified as the absence of a unified mechanism for utilizing information-analytical systems in the activities of security forces, which results in data fragmentation and reduces the effectiveness of responses to emerging threats.
The study reveals the essence and current trends in the development of analytical support in Ukraine and outlines key directions of digital transformation in the security sector. A comparative analysis is conducted of the practical use of information-analytical systems in Ukraine, the United States, and the European Union. Particular attention is devoted to analyzing major problems and challenges – cyber threats, personnel shortages, technological fragmentation, legal limitations, and insufficient integration of interagency data resources. The importance of developing cyber resilience, interagency cooperation, and an analytical decision-making culture is emphasized.
The article proposes a set of measures to improve the information-analytical mechanism of state management in the field of security, including the creation of a unified national analytical center, the unification of data exchange formats, the implementation of intelligent data-processing algorithms, and the establishment of an advanced system for training next-generation specialists. The obtained results have practical value for optimizing management processes in the security sector and enhancing the effectiveness of state responses to contemporary threats.

Specific features of assuming and handing over the position of a National Guard of Ukraine unit commander during a special period

Sergii Starodubtsev — 2025-12-29

The article is devoted to identifying the specific features of the procedure for assuming and handing over the position of a unit commander of the National Guard of Ukraine during the performance of service-combat and combat tasks outside permanent deployment points in a special period.
With the outset of the full-scale aggressive war launched by the russian federation, the issue of the proper procedure for transferring the duties of a unit commander has become especially urgent in Ukraine. This has necessitated the activation and adaptation of mechanisms for transferring command positions and related responsibilities in accordance with the specific conditions in which a unit operates.
It is established that platoon and company commanders bear full responsibility for combat and mobilization readiness, make decisions on the organization and conduct of combat operations, and fulfil other essential tasks. They play a leading role in directing their subordinates, maintaining high military discipline and morale, ensuring exemplary statutory order, and organizing daily activities both in routine and combat conditions. Unit commanders are also entrusted with a wide range of responsibilities regarding the storage, operation, and maintenance of weapons, military equipment, and property, as well as legal matters. Therefore, they must approach inspections during the assumption of a position with diligence and accountability. Both the outgoing and incoming commanders must strictly comply with the requirements of laws, orders of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, the Commander of the National Guard of Ukraine, and other regulatory acts. The main objective is to ensure systematic control over unit personnel and the lawful, efficient use of weapons, ammunition, equipment, and property in daily activities and during service-combat missions.
In today's conditions, the process of accepting and handing over a position during a special period is complicated. Maintaining the unit's combat capability and accomplishing assigned missions remain critically important. The transfer may take place simultaneously at the point of permanent deployment and during the execution of tasks outside it, which requires flexibility and adaptation to the operational situation. Commanders must take into account the current operational environment and potential risks during the transfer of duties.
The process of assuming and handing over the position of a unit commander during a special period is essential for ensuring continuity of command, systematic functioning, and the effective performance of tasks assigned to the unit. Therefore, the article develops and proposes solutions for optimizing the system of transferring command positions during a special period.

Methodology for determining the indicators of traction-speed properties of a ground wheeled robot with an electromechanical transmission

Ihor Strashnyi — 2025-12-29

One of the directions of development of weapons and tactics of its application in modern warfare is the use of ground wheeled robots on the battlefield. The results of the analysis of the design of ground robots show that the type of power plant and the structure of the transmission significantly depend on the purpose and weight and dimensions characteristics of the robot. Robots with small dimensions and mass are equipped with an electric drive, which provides them with good running qualities and camouflage properties. Robots with increased dimensions and mass have better tactical and technical characteristics, but also require more powerful power plants. In this case, power plants with an internal combustion engine and an electromechanical transmission are most often used. In this case, the traction characteristics of the machine increase, the combat radius, the duration of autonomous action and cross-country ability increase.
The purpose of the article is to form a method for calculating the traction of a ground wheeled robot with an electromechanical transmission and determine the main indicators of its traction-speed properties. The developed methodology includes a number of sequential stages: determining the required power of the internal combustion engine; determining the parameters of the traction electric motor; determining the gear ratio of the mechanical gearbox; calculating and constructing traction characteristic and dynamic characteristic; determining the acceleration characteristics of the robot. The developed methodology allows you to quickly and with sufficient accuracy determine the characteristics of the power plant and electromechanical transmission of a ground wheeled robot, as well as the values of its traction-speed properties. The methodology can be used both at the design stage of a wheeled robot and for evaluating the traction-speed properties of machines that are proposed by developers for adoption on an initiative basis.

Assessing the effectiveness of financial support for the logistics systems of military units of the National Guard of Ukraine based on the KPI system

Iryna Fedorenko — 2025-12-29

Theoretical and practical aspects of financial support of logistics systems of military units of the National Guard of Ukraine are studied.
The purpose of the article is to determine and substantiate a methodological approach to the formation of effective financial support of logistics systems of military units of the National Guard of Ukraine on the basis of the KRI system.
The need to find ways to optimize and increase the efficiency of the use of limited financial resources by military units of the National Guard of Ukraine in response to the challenges of martial law is identified.
Recommendations are proposed to determine and substantiate a methodological approach to the formation of effective financial support of logistics systems of military units of the National Guard of Ukraine on the basis of the KRI system according to the following categories: indicators of financial planning and budget execution; indicators of resource efficiency; indicators of accountability and control; indicators of informatization; indicators of human resource potential.
The system of financial planning of logistics support of military units of the National Guard of Ukraine requires constant adaptation to dynamic changes in the conditions of everyday activity, especially during martial law. The use of a fragmented approach to the formation of indicators of financial support of logistics systems can lead to the absence of a holistic picture of the state of financial flows and their impact on the logistics support of military units of the National Guard of Ukraine.
A comprehensive approach to the selection of key performance indicators for the financial support of logistics systems of military units of the National Guard of Ukraine is proposed. The use of key performance indicators in the process of financial support of logistics systems of military units of the National Guard of Ukraine is an important aspect for ensuring effective financial planning and logistical support, which allows creating the necessary conditions for increasing the level of manageability of logistics processes and affects national security and defense capability.

Recommendations for developing a systematic analysis of the mountaineering activity of the work of an instructor for the training of special purpose units personnel for mountainous areas operations

Volodymyr Khalep — 2025-12-29

Recommendations for the development of a systematic analysis of mountaineering activities of the work of an instructor for training personnel for actions in the mountains, which will help in the assessment of the actions of the personnel of the special purpose units of the National Guard of Ukraine in the conditions of mountainous terrain, are considered. Also, the proposed recommendations make it possible to uniformly and systematically analyze the work of the instructor, which will ensure better training of special purpose units during tasks in special mountain conditions.
Combat operations in the mountains have their own characteristics and primarily require high activity, maneuverability and mobility of units, their endurance, and the ability to overcome mountain obstacles. In order to fulfill these conditions, it is necessary to carefully train and train personnel, but the training of climbers cannot be limited only to training on the technique of movement in the mountains. For the success of tasks in the mountains, it is not less important to know the nature of the mountains well, to be able to determine the features of the selected route, to calculate the time required to overcome it, to choose the necessary equipment, etc. In view of this, mastering mountaineering (altitude) training has one of the decisive values.
According to the functions defined in the Law of Ukraine "On the National Guard of Ukraine", servicemen of specified special purpose units may be involved in the performance of combat tasks. Therefore, the systematic analysis of mountaineering activities should be uniform for all instructors in training the personnel of special purpose units for actions in mountainous terrain. In view of the above, it is necessary to develop a unified training structure, as well as recommendations for the application of a systematic analysis of mountaineering activities in mountaineering for the purpose of uniform preparation for the performance of tasks in the mountains by servicemen of special purpose units of the National Guard of Ukraine. It is important that it is appropriate and rational, and most importantly ‒ gives a good result for the highest quality assimilation of educational material by those who are studying.
