An analysis of therequirements for abnormal transport shows the process areas that are bottlenecks.

They canbe used in armed conflicts and as an alternative to conventional weapons for terrorist groups. The greatchallenge of today’s world is ammunition and barrels filled with deadly poisonous chemicals that aresunk or buried in many regions. The effects of time and environmental conditions have caused thesesubstances to increasingly leak into the areas used by humans, contaminating groundwater, soil, andaquatic organisms. Consequently, drinking water and food products of plant and animal origin arecontaminated. In the face of a threat, an essential element in protecting life and health is the fast detectionof contamination and its reliable identification. This paper gives an overview of the threats caused bychemical warfare agents and residues from the processes of their environmental degradation. It alsoallows us to get acquainted with the latest achievements in detecting and identifying contaminationwhen we know the equipment intended for the needs of the armed forces and stationary chemicallaboratories.

The proceduresfor handling samples potentially containing chemical warfare agents or their degradation products areessential knowledge for members of military sampling teams. They can also support specialist staffemployed in field and stationary laboratories. The information gathered here will improve the safetyof working with samples contaminated with toxic substances at every stage. Increasing awareness ofthe scale of the threat as well as proper actions and a quick response to the existing contamination dueto the use of the latest technologies will enable us to make well-considered decisions and significantlyimprove the population’s safety.Keywords: chemical sciences, chemical weapons, detection and analysis of chemical warfare agents,CBRN","PeriodicalId":232579,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Military University of Technology","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122553961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From a practical viewpoint,this approach requires the use of directional antennas or beamforming systems.

Path loss models are commonly used for designing the radio communication systemsand networks. However, in the literature, there are no adequate methods of attenuation modellingavailable for the cases of misalignment of antenna beams.

From the point of view of the command, themission to rescue the casualties takes place largely, so that they can be restored to further operationsas soon as possible the priority on the battlefield is to complete the mission, not to rescue all thewounded. During armed conflicts, forces and resources will always be limited, and the evacuationof the victims will have to be carried out in several stages or will be extended in time. Rescuers oftenhave to deal with prolonged care on the battlefield and they are forced to deal with the wounded muchlonger than during mass civilian incidents. The implementation of new technological solutions thatminimise potential human error, collect and automatically analyse medical data in real time, willenable us especially in the theater of war faster identification of the condition of the injured andsetting priorities.
