Metrological problems in the study of weapon systems

Abstract

The article presents a summary of knowledge on the research and metrological problems related to the assessment of features and parameters of weapon systems. The basic metrological problem of research laboratories evaluating weapon systems is related to the constant search for new solutions, building unique test stands and seeking metrological equipment with higher accuracy classes than the equipment of military weapon systems which is subject to assessment. This is very difficult for the military technology to perform, even impossible in many cases. Significant research problems raised in the article also concern the study of descriptive and functional features which are not addressed by metrology. The article is an introduction to the commencement of works on the extension of metrology related to measurements and evaluation of the results obtained in research laboratories during the implementation of procedures related to the testing of descriptive and functional indicators. The information included in the article may be a source of knowledge for both the personnel of military laboratories and the personnel of civilian laboratories.
