The formation of reasonable requirements for advanced models of weapons and military equipment is an urgent task that must be solved on the basis of the results of scientific research. One of these tasks is the formation of operational and tactical requirements for an armored wheeled platform, which in the future should become the basis for creating a line of armored vehicles for various purposes. One of the main indicators that affect the combat and technical characteristics of such a platform is its cross-country ability. And they, in turn, depend on the design features of the machine body, transmission and its chassis. Consequently, the evaluation of the cross-country performance and the influence of the design features of the vehicle and its elements on them is a task that needs to be addressed in the course of creating a combat vehicle. After analyzing the factors affecting the maneuverability of combat vehicles, it was concluded that it is necessary to conduct a preliminary assessment of the traction and dynamic performance of promising models of armored personnel carriers in order to make an informed decision on choosing one or another armored personnel carrier as a base vehicle or conducting experimental tests. Thus, the article defines the indicators of traction-speed properties, which are the most applicable and sufficient for a comparative assessment of armored personnel carriers, as well as a comparative analysis of these indicators of armored personnel carriers BTR-4E and BTR-3DA. For comparative analysis, a test traction calculation was applied. The results of such a calculation can be used to make an informed decision on the choice of one or another armored personnel carrier as the base vehicle, as well as in the further development of proposals for the formation of reasonable requirements for the components of advanced armored personnel carriers. Keywords: the reserved wheeled platform, armament and military technique, armored personnel carriers, operational and tactical requirements, hauling-dynamic indexes.
The issue of forming reasonable requirements for promising samples of weapons and military equipment is an urgent task that must be solved on the basis of the results of scientific research. One of these tasks is the formation of operational and tactical requirements for an armored wheeled platform, which should later become the basis for the creation of a line of armored vehicles for various purposes. In this case, one of the main indicators that affect the combat and technical characteristics of such a platform is its permeability. Thus, assessing the permeability indicators and the impact on them of the design features of the machine and its elements is a task that needs to be solved in the course of the creation of a combat vehicle. The permeability indicators are influenced by factors that can be divided into the following groups: traction-dynamic (machine weight, specific power, specific wheel pressure), structural (type of power transmission, suspension type, types of differentials, type and design of tires), geometric (clearance, angles of front and rear overhang, longitudinal and transverse radius of permeability, wheels, maneuverability). After analyzing these factors, we can conclude that the assessment of geometric permeability indicators can be done already at the design stage, which in the future will help in deciding on the choice of a particular design of the machine. Thus, the article defines indicators that affect the permeability of wheeled BTR, as well as a comparative analysis of geometrical permeability indicators of existing and promising BTR with different wheel formulas. The results of these studies can be used in the further development of proposals for the formation of justified requirements for the components of promising BPC, which affect their permeability. Keywords: armored wheel platform, armament and military equipment, BTR, operational and tactical requirements, geometric permeability.
