METHOD OF ASSESSMENT OF INFORMATION AVAILABILITY OF RADIO INFLAMMATION SOURCES BY DEVICES OF RADIOELECTRONIC RECOGNITION

Abstract

Providing information superiority over the enemy is becoming a prerequisite for conducting military operations. The main type of information support is military intelligence, and its basis is radio-electronic intelligence. During the analysis of the known scientific achievements in the direction chosen by the authors of the research it was established that at present there is no general methodology for assessing the capabilities of the forces and devices of radio-electronic intelligence for the information (reconnaissance) availability of electronic intelligence sources that is suitable for the use in automation devices of various control units, which connects separate indicators of information accessibility in generalized on the basis of the use of modern intelligence-information models. The authors of this research conducted a methodology for assessing the availability of radio-emission sources by the devices of radio-electronic intelligence. In the course of the research, the authors used the basic provisions of the theory of radioelectronic intelligence, the theory of communication, the theory of electronic warfare, the theory of signals, and general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis. The technique developed by the authors makes it possible to evaluate sources of electronic intelligence from the point of view of the expediency of including in the outline the distribution of forces and devices for different conditions of the situation (stages of combat or operations), effectively manage the forces and devices of extraction and processing in the interests of solving radio-electronic intelligence tasks, and evaluate the degree of this efficiency. This technique, which is an integral part of the general methodology for the distribution of forces and intelligence, can be applied at the command posts (grouping of troops, military units) of electronic intelligence and will increase the efficiency of conducting searches of sources and objects of electronic intelligence, as well as the distribution of forces and resources for tasks, objects and sources. In addition, it can be used to assess the effectiveness of existing and promising devices and complexes of electronic intelligence and electronic warfare. Taking into account the above, the direction of further research should be considered the development of scientific and methodical apparatus for improving the efficiency of conducting radio-electronic intelligence.
