Forensic Radiotechnical Examination: Current State and Prospects of Development

The article considers some topical issues of theory and practice of production of forensic radio-technical examination. It outlines the objects of forensic radiotechnical examination, including, in particular, radio-electronic safety and arming mechanisms of homemade explosive devices; special technical means for concealed information obtainment; scanning radio receivers, electromagnetic field indicators, radio interference generators, etc.On the basis of explored investigative and expert practice the typical and special questions raised before an expert under production of forensic radiotechnical examination are highlighted. It has been established that electronic control units of passive safety systems are provided for forensic radiotechnical examination.The examination of unmanned aerial vehicles and unmanned vessels equipped with radio-electronic control systems is emphasized as an upcoming trend, which determines the future tasks aimed at developing relevant methodological recommendations for their study and training of forensic experts as well.
