This paper proposes an algorithm for substantiating the type and volume of redundant structural and functional elements of reconnaissance-firing systems, taking into consideration the operational patterns of such systems. Underlying this algorithm is the combination of survivability assessment methods and reliability assessment methods. Such an arrangement aimed to improve the efficiency of the application of these methods and reduce uncertainty in the calculations. The results from calculating an example of the application of a procedure for substantiating the type and volume of redundant structural and functional elements of reconnaissance-firing systems have been analyzed. The analysis of the results shows that the set task is fulfilled, in particular the specified probability of trouble-free functioning of a reconnaissance-firing system, with a combined type of redundancy. Moreover, it implies giving preference to passive redundancy, using active one only to critical elements – individual functional elements of the control subsystem. The advantage of a mixed type of redundancy over a passive redundancy is 28 %. In addition, it has been established that the multiplicity of redundancy, for accepted conditions, should not be lower than 2. A procedure for substantiating the type and volume of redundant structural and functional elements of reconnaissance-firing systems has been devised, taking into consideration the operational patterns of such systems. The specified procedure includes an algorithm, as well as methods for assessing survivability and methods for assessing the reliability of functioning. This procedure was tested for feasibility by considering an example of justifying the type and volume of redundant structural and functional elements of reconnaissance-firing systems that produced an adequate result. The result has been confirmed by the practical application of reconnaissance-firing systems in recent armed conflicts
This paper reports a study into the special features of military (combat) activities at the present stage of military art development. The purpose was to subsequently define the basic requirements for reconnaissance-firing systems. The features under consideration are a rapid change in the situation, competition with an enemy for winning in time, accuracy, maneuverability, secrecy. They also involve a large amount of data that must be operated when deciding on combat use (hostilities). Other attributes of modern military (combat) activities are the consistency of operations and a clear structure of subordination; independence in maintenance and positioning. These data are useful and important because they make it possible to reasonably define the requirements for reconnaissance-firing systems. This paper has defined those requirements for reconnaissance-firing systems and such criteria for their selection that are predetermined by the specificity of military (combat) activities. The most important selection criteria include efficiency, accuracy, secrecy, robustness. Several actual reconnaissance-firing systems have been analyzed in order to demonstrate the use of the methodology. Specifically, «Kropyva» (Ukraine), «ArtOS» (Ukraine), «Obolon-A» (Ukraine), «Sokil» (Poland, Ukraine). A procedure for justifying the choice of reconnaissance-firing systems has been devised, taking into consideration the conditions of military (combat) activities, based on the method involving an analytic hierarchy process. A given procedure substantiates those selection criteria that were determined on the basis of patterns in modern military activities. From a practical point of view, the proposed methodology makes it possible to significantly reduce the time for planning an operation and considerably improve the validity of decisions by a commander (chief) regarding the choice of a reconnaissance-firing system and its further use in combat activities.

It is established that the role of reconnaissance and fire systems in the implementation of enemy fire damage in military conflicts occurring at the beginning of the XXI century. Increased to 75%. However, it was found that the effectiveness of these systems depends on the quality of their equipment. The main factors that are often not taken into account in the acquisition are the possibility, interoperability, stability of each element, the impact of elements on the stability of each other and the functioning of the RVS as a whole. The analysis of recent research and publications has shown that as of today, the approaches to determining the composition of reconnaissance fire systems taking into account these factors are not justified. Given the above, it was decided to conduct a structural and functional analysis of the reconnaissance fire system and the decomposition of its functions and subsystems. To this end, based on the method of cluster analysis, an algorithm for combining a set of tasks performed by reconnaissance and fire systems into groups has been developed and substantiated. The method of expert evaluation was used to obtain substantiated data on the implementation of such a merger. According to the proposed algorithm, the main tasks were first identified, which involve reconnaissance and fire systems. Subsequently, an expert group was formed and the coefficient of relative competence of each member of the expert group was determined. The experts were then asked to combine the identified tasks according to their characteristics into an arbitrary number of groups. After processing the opinions of experts, 10 characteristic groups were identified. Finally, the experts were asked to combine the obtained groups in such a way that each association consisted of similar objects and the objects of different associations differed significantly. The results of the work revealed the functional interconnectedness of the tasks, processes and subsystems of the reconnaissance and fire system. It is also established that a typical reconnaissance fire system will consist of three subsystems (control, reconnaissance and fire influence), which perform specific functions for each of them.
