Justification of the indicator of the security of military vehicles in combat conditions

In connection with hostilities, the question of the development of the reliability of military vehicles (MV) remains relevant. Equipping parts and units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with modern military vehicles ensures a high level of combat capability of the troops. At the same time, one of the components of the combat capability of military vehicles is their protection against the effects of enemy weapons.In the conditions of hostilities, increasing the security of vehicles ensures the success of military operations. The protection of the MV should be considered as an objectively necessary combat property of weapons and military equipment, which characterizes its ability to maintain its integrity and continue to perform the tasks set before them in the conditions of the overwhelming influence of the enemy. The probability of carrying out timely planned transportation of MV in conditions of overwhelming enemy influence can be estimated mathematically, which will allow, based on the totality of the obtained indicators, to assess the level of combat capability of a unit or a military unit both before the start of hostilities and during their conduct. A forecast of the state of combat capability of the troops during hostilities is impossible without an objective assessment of the security of the MV, as well as its changes during the battle. Therefore, it can be argued that the indicator of the security of the MV can be determined and integrated through the indicator of the probability of carrying out the transportation of the MV under conditions of overwhelming influence of the enemy. The scientific basis of research on the assessment of the level of security of the MV is: the theory of the effectiveness of the use of weapons and military equipment, the operation of military vehicles, the basics of the theory of MV reliability, the theory of probabilities and mathematical statistics. The concept of MV security is not defined by state standards, as a result of which various interpretations of this property arise. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to obtain a dependency for determining the level of security of military vehicle equipment when units perform combat tasks as assigned and to determine the influence of individual factors on it.
