VECTOR-SPACE APPROACH TO EVALUATION OF THE EFFICIENCY OF USE OF RADIOELECTRONIC CONTROLS

The intensive development of information and control technologies, as well as their integration into a single information space, leads to an increase in the role of such technologies in the processes of control of troops (forces) and weapons, including high-precision. At the same time, the electronic material basis of information infrastructure, created within the framework of the concept of a network-centric war, is potentially vulnerable to the devices of electronic warfare. However, the analysis of the experience of using electronic devices has shown that in practice there are cases where the level of effectiveness of the use of these devices is lower than necessary. Accordingly, the improvement of the effectiveness of electronic warfare devices is an important area of scientific research. The primary component of increasing the effectiveness of electronic warfare devices is the substantiation and development of indicators that provide an objective assessment of the effectiveness of the use of these tools, taking into account all the important factors and conditions (including inaccuracies or uncertainties about the parameters of suppressed objects). Accordingly, the article develops an approach to the selection of indicators for assessing the effectiveness of the use of electronic warfare devices. The basis of the proposed approach is that the potential ability of the devices of electronic warfare to perform the tasks set forth is sufficiently fully described by the corresponding vector space, each point of which is determined by the corresponding vector, which includes a certain number of indicators describing the properties of these devices. In the course of the research, the main provisions of the theory of electronic warfare, the method of analysis of hierarchies, as well as general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis were used. The proposed approach to the evaluation of the effectiveness of the use of electronic warfare devices allows us to use a combination of system-resource approach to calculate indicators on the basis of the multilevel description of the composition of the devices of electronic warfare, when the multi-dimensional structure of its integral index (level of functioning) is gradually filled with parametric content, which is the advantage of this methodological approach. Also, the developed approach to evaluation allows us to develop, on a quantitative basis, recommendations on the choice of rational indicators of the composition of electronic warfare in accordance with the tasks set, to determine the level of functioning of the devices of electronic warfare by converting their partial and aggregate indicators.
