Forming a Regulatory Model of the Life Cycle for Military Ground Robotic Systems
Abstract
Purpose. To substantiate approaches to the development of a regulatory life cycle model for military ground robotic systems, taking into account their technological and functional specificities, as well as to analyze the limitations of current regulatory documents on life cycle management of weapons and military equipment.
Method. The study applies a systems analysis of national regulatory standards in the field of weapons and military equipment, along with a comparative analysis of commonly used life cycle models.
Findings. An adapted regulatory life cycle model for military ground robotic systems is developed. The model accounts for the need for rapid modernization cycles, configuration management features, software support, and operation under dynamic tactical conditions.
Theoretical implications. The research expands the theoretical framework for regulatory control of the life cycle of advanced military systems and contributes to the development of national standards tailored to new classes of combat platforms.
Practical implications. The proposed model can be used in the development of technical requirements, testing programs, life cycle documentation, and regulatory acts governing the adoption and logistical support of military ground robotic systems.
Originality. Originality lies in the integration of traditional regulatory approaches with agile life cycle management principles for cyber-physical systems, and in the structural separation of hardware and software life cycles within a unified model.
Paper type. Analytical and research article.
