The article analyzes the report documentation of the tests in which the Doppler radar trajectory measurement system MFTR–2100/40 and the muzzle velocity measurement system SL-520PE were used to determine the trajectory parameters of artillery armament. The purpose of the article is to provide proposals for standard methods of using Doppler radar systems of trajectory measurements when testing artillery armament and its ammunition. The proposals for these standard methods are based on the experience of using the MFTR–2100/40 radar system and the SL–520PE muzzle velocity measurement system during the tests of the latest specimens of artillery and ammunition and relate to typical Doppler radar systems. When choosing the position and mode of operation of such Doppler radar trajectory measurement systems, it is always necessary to take into account safety measures, instructions for their operation, technical features (capabilities) of radar systems specified in this article, considering the interference environment during firing (shot) of artillery armament and experiment (test) conditions. Placing typical Doppler radar systems when taking measurements in unplanned places is dangerous for the crew and measuring instruments and leads to partial or complete loss of measuring trajectory information and reduced measurement accuracy. Abovementioned proposals are offered to be taken into account when developing methods of trajectory measurements using typical Doppler radar systems during testing artillery armament and its ammunition. Methods of measurements using standard Doppler radar systems of trajectory measurements should be developed in accordance with current standards (GOST 8.010-99, GOST V 15.211-78 and others) for a particular test, taking into account the results of analysis of the characteristics of samples to be evaluated, measuring instruments used, conditions and locations of measurements.
Testing ground measuring and computing complex (TGMCC) is a set of interconnected hardware and software designed to perform measurements and processing of measuring information to determine the tactical and technical characteristics of objects in different conditions of their application, objective evaluation of test results of armament and military equipment (AME). For radar measurements of trajectory parameters of moving objects, mobile and stationary radar stations of trajectory measurements are used, including Doppler radar systems of external trajectory measurements. Such radar stations of trajectory measurements are one of the components of TGMCC. They are designed to measure, process and record the parameters of the trajectories of moving objects in a given spatial volume with a given accuracy and reliability during testing of a wide range of new and upgraded samples of AME, as well as perform measurements along with optoelectronic stations of trajectory measurements, or they could be used separately from them. Therefore, currently there is a problem of creation of mobile testing ground measuring and computing complex which consists in its equipping by modern means of external trajectory measurements, both domestic and foreign. Thus, the proposed recommendations for the integrated application of Doppler radar systems of external trajectory measurements as a part of a mobile testing ground measuring and computing complex will allow to conduct testing and certification of armament and military equipment offered for supply to the Armed Forces of Ukraine more efficiently and with increased quality.
The article offers recommendations for the project of General requirements for the video registration system for determining the movement of weapons and military equipment test facilities. The analysis of scientific and technical literature and other open sources of information allows us to draw the following conclusion that in the developed countries of the world active scientific work is constantly being conducted to find new technologies, methods, methods and means to improve the quality of testing. Many different scientific studies are related to the need for video recording of test processes (high-speed, thermal, and others). Therefore, during the tests, a variety of video equipment is used, which differs in the principle of operation and technical characteristics. In today's conditions, video surveillance is implemented at all stages of testing weapons and military equipment. The capabilities and technical characteristics of existing modern video equipment require careful study. Based on the analysis and study of video recording capabilities, recommendations were developed for the project of General requirements for the video recording system for determining the movement of weapons and military equipment test objects during the testing of weapons and military equipment delivered to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
