The experience of combat operations in modern military conflicts has shown that one of their dangerous consequences is the contamination of territories with explosive objects that pose a threat to both the military and civilians. At the same time, one of the main problematic issues is the significant excess of the rate of development of mine weapons compared to the rate of development of mine action equipment. Ukraine is no exception, which, due to the full-scale aggression of the russian federation, has become the most explosive contaminated country in the world.
The analysis of the use of explosive devices in the war of the russian federation against Ukraine shows that the enemy uses the entire range of mine weapons available to it, including those prohibited by international conventions. An analysis of the available demining equipment in the engineering units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine shows their obsolescence and low efficiency, as well as the lack of remote-controlled demining systems. At the same time, the main method of performing demining tasks both in the conditions of hostilities and in the absence of them is manual, which poses a great danger to sappers. Therefore, the creation of remote-controlled demining systems is an urgent task.
The solution to this problem is proposed through the development of new principles of operation of advanced remote-controlled demining complexes, substantiation of possible options for the use of standard portable means of searching for explosive objects on remotely controlled mobile platforms according to the concept of “Forward Edge Sapper”, substantiation of requirements for the structure and parameters of these complexes and implementation of the idea of creating a database of technical images of known explosive objects based on the obtained experimental data.
This article presents a model of functioning of a remote-controlled demining system based on the formalization of the scientific problem using the theoretical-set approach, considering the experience of the enemy’s use of explosive objects during the war of the russian federation against Ukraine and the characteristics of means of their search and destruction.
