Research of the regulatory framework, analysis of the efficiency of the functioning and directions for improvement of the special-purpose electronic communication network

The article studies the legislation of Ukraine in the field of electronic communications, on the basis of which subsystems are defined and a new model of the electronic communication system of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is proposed for consideration. The basic definition of the electronic communication system, the composition, names and purpose of the subsystems correspond to the current regulatory documents of Ukraine in the field of electronic communications. The system considers its most important element - the electronic communication network, which is an integral part and material basis of the military (forces) command system. The special-purpose electronic communication network is built on the resources of the electronic communication network of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the general-purpose electronic communication network. The paper analyzes the structure and effectiveness of the electronic communication network, and develops directions for improving the regulatory framework and the electronic communication network of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It is proposed to deploy a stationary component of the electronic communication network of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which is created using its own lines of electronic communication networks, which will ensure operational, reliable and uninterrupted command of troops, a significant reduction in the time for providing electronic communication services, the required speed of information transmission and a number of other advantages regarding the rental of channels (streams) in the general purpose electronic communication network. The need for the deployment of a mobile (mobile) component is justified and directions for its improvement are determined for the provision and restoration of electronic communication services, the expansion and backup of the stationary component of the electronic communication network of the Armed Forces of Ukraine by the forces and means of communication units and divisions. The proposed model of the electronic communication network of the Armed Forces of Ukraine can become the basis of the command and control system of troops (forces) and be built in compliance with the standards, doctrines and recommendations of Ukraine and NATO member states. The network should be integrated with the electronic communication networks of the defense forces and the general electronic communication network in order to ensure a single information space. Therefore, the results of the study have practical significance for improving the electronic communication network of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and increasing the combat readiness of troops in peacetime, in conditions of an emergency, state of emergency or martial law.
