Spatial-spectral methods of increasing the efficiency of artillery reconnaissance

Abstract

The author analyzes the evolution of reconnaissance-fire technology based on reconnaissance-strike (RSS) and reconnaissance-fire (RFS) systems and its transition to the ideology of reconnaissance-fire systems (RFS). Based on Boyd's cybernetic model, the situational model of RFS combat control and the issue of optimizing it in terms of the "observe" cycle are considered. Practical ways of implementing the developed approach based on multichannel spatial and multispectral processing of intelligence information are substantiated. The optimality of the developed approach is confirmed by the results of a model experiment. A methodology for adapting the characteristics of multi-channel processing of location information to a dynamically changing mobile phone environment has been developed. The optimality of the developed approach is confirmed by the results of the model experiment, and the practical feasibility is confirmed by the patent for the invention.The maximum combat effectiveness of the first stage of the Boyd cycle (artillery reconnaissance) – range, accuracy, target channel, immunity - is achieved by the integration of ground-based radar means of reconnaissance of firing positions and UAVs with multispectral surveillance equipment. The practical significance of the obtained results is provided by the independence of targeting accuracy from the target range with simultaneous provision of round-the-clock operation, all-weather operation, interference resistance and potential informativeness of artillery reconnaissance. The attainable gain in artillery reconnaissance effectiveness indicators is 7.2 times the range, and 20 times the target channel. All analytical results are aimed at implementation in the practice of designing the production of equipment for ground and on-board reconnaissance components.
