Modelling the Overcoming of Enemy Engineering Barriers
Abstract
Purpose. Improvement of the semi-Markov mathematical model for overcoming enemy engineering obstacles, which, unlike existing models, takes into account the specifics of performing tasks to overcome enemy engineering obstacles, which are considered as a separate variant of an operation (battle).
Method. System analysis method, mathematical modelling method, Markov process theory.
Findings. An improved semi-Markov mathematical model for overcoming enemy barriers, which, unlike existing models, takes into account the probability indicators of the processes of passing through general military units, transferring passages and moving to reserve areas, providing combined fire support, radio-electronic support for clearing units, and the destruction of passage-making means.
Theoretical implications. Attention is paid to the specifics of performing demining tasks using the specific features of unmanned demining systems. The time parameters of remote identification of explosive objects and changes in the decision-making process using a decision support system are taken into account.
