METHODS OF ENSURING THE DEFINED LEVEL OF COMBAT SURVIVAL OF ARMORED WHEELED VEHICLES

The experience of military conflicts the last decades has shown constantly growing role armored wheeled vehicles (AWVs). In recent years, a significant number AWVs various purposes have been developed and adopted by security forces Ukraine: personnel carriers; carriers anti-tank weapons, anti-aircraft mortars; machines radio-electronic intelligence warfare; medical evacuation vehicles, etc. that deliver to battlefield, provide their fire support, or are equipped with powerful weapons other combat equipment being priority targets for enemy. damages significantly reduce probability (or completely makes it impossible) perform specific task, therefore there is an objective need ensure certain minimum level survivability vehicle in order preserve its capability performance intended tasks. Therefore, purpose article create methodology ensuring given vehicles. A technique developed. It allows obtain indicators correspond consistent improvement operational characteristics. can be used form requirements technical characteristics at stage development modernization, as well assess compliance existing survivability. direction further research study impact properties on
