Despite the potential for insight and innovation presented by these voluminous datasets, they pose significant challenges in areas such as data quality and structure, necessitating the implementation of effective management strategies. Machine learning techniques have emerged as essential tools in identifying and mitigating these challenges and developing viable solutions to address them. The MNIST dataset represents a prominent example of a widely-used dataset in this field, renowned for its expansive collection of handwritten numerical digits, and frequently employed in tasks such as classification and analysis, as demonstrated in the present study. Methods: This study employed the MNIST dataset to investigate various statistical techniques, including the Principal Components Analysis (PCA) algorithm implemented using the Python programming language. Additionally, Support Vector Machine (SVM) models were applied to both linear and non-linear classification problems to assess the accuracy of the model. Results: The results of the present study indicate that while the PCA technique is effective for dimensionality reduction, it may not be as effective for visualization purposes. Moreover, the findings demonstrate that both linear and non-linear SVM models were capable of effectively classifying the dataset. Conclusion: The findings of the study demonstrate that SVM can serve as an efficacious technique for addressing classification problems.","PeriodicalId":30576,"journal":{"name":"Vojnotehnicki Glasnik","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83641074","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}

Successful performance of the combat task of armored units in defensive actions against stationary targets depends to the greatest extent on the effectiveness of fire of tank weapons. Under the tactical assumptions that define real combat conditions, i.e., that the attacking formation opens fire from small arms and anti-tank weapons, that the defense is organized in a timely manner on maneuvering ground and in optimal meteorological conditions, and that the tank squad opens fire while stationary, the scientific goal of the research is to determine the probability of hitting and destroying the target as closely as possible depending on the method of determining the distance to the target and the number of projectiles fired. Methods: Mainly applying the method of situation modeling in scientific research, the authors try to determine, as precisely as possible, the percentage of the probability of hitting (destroying) a stationary target, with the first, second, or third projectile. Results: The main scientific contribution of the research would be the determination of various quantitative indicators as significant parameters necessary for a successful design of defense operations of ground army units. Conclusion: By creating an appropriate model for a specific situation in order to solve a problem (combat task), it is possible to precisely determine the probability of hitting and the probability of destroying the target in relation to the number of projectiles fired, as well as the expected consumption of ammunition.","PeriodicalId":30576,"journal":{"name":"Vojnotehnicki Glasnik","volume":"93 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76062136","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}

This method is the software basis of a certain number of programs used in NATO, in war simulations, and in the planning and analysis of operations. Its value is in understanding the consequences of decisions made with outcomes and results of combat actions. Methods: The case study of the well-known Operation Desert Storm gathered the necessary data on operational parameters and the way forces are used in battles. The obtained data were transformed into operational variables of the combat model using the force aggregation method, whose simulation was carried out using the method of differential Lanchester's equations (quadratic law). Results: By simulating the modeled operation, the parameters of the outcome of the conflict were obtained with numerical indicators of success, consumption of resources, etc. The results were analyzed and a certain correlation with the parameters of the real operation was determined, which enables the validation of the model. Conclusion: The partial validity of the model describing the conflict on a practical historical example from a case study was confirmed. There are objective limitations in the application of modeling of military operations and optimization of the use of forces. The value of this method is the possibility of a reliable strategic assessment of the adversary's military power at the strategic level.","PeriodicalId":30576,"journal":{"name":"Vojnotehnicki Glasnik","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81971349","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}

The presented model is used to define the risk on road sections during the transport of dangerous goods as well as to select the optimal route for the realization of the transport task. Methods: The model consists of two phases. The first phase includes the application of DEA models in which formed input and output models are connected in the output DEA final form which shows routes with a satisfactory level of traffic safety and at the same time eliminates routes with low traffic safety. The second phase involves the application of fuzzy logic systems, and as a way out of the fuzzy system, preference is given to one route. Route evaluation is based on six criteria, namely: route length, number of access points, AADT (annual average daily traffic), the number of traffic accidents with fatalities, the number of traffic accidents with the injured and the number of traffic accidents with material damage. When the values of the input criteria are entered, a calculation and evaluation is performed, and, as an exit from the fuzzy system, preference is given to one of the entered routes (the route with the lowest level of risk). The criteria used were defined on the basis of expert assessments. Results: A user program that represents decision support in traffic service.

Graph theory is increasingly used in many spheres of business and scientific fields. This paper analyzes pentagonal cactus chains, a special type of graphs composed of pentagonal cycles in which two adjacent cycles have only one node in common. The aim of the research is to determine the dominant set and the dominance number on ortho and meta pentagonal cactus chains. Methods: When the corresponding destinations are treated as graph nodes and the connections between them as branches in the graph, the complete structure of the graph is obtained, to which the laws of graph theory are applied. The vertices of the pentagon are treated as nodes of the graph and the sides as branches in the graph. By applying mathematical methods, the dominance was determined on one pentagon, then on two pentagons with a common node, and then on ortho and meta pentagonal cactus chains. Results: The research has shown that the dominance number on the ortho chain 𝑂ℎ of the length h ≥ 2 is equal to the value of the expression ⌈ 3ℎ 2 ⌉ while on the meta chain 𝑀ℎ it is equal to the value of the expression h+1, which was proven in this paper.

Methods: The theoretical system of supply and maintenance is very complex and consists of a number of elements, organizational units, as well as certain principles. During the implementation, it is necessary to take into account all the principles and adhere to the rules and instructions.
