Development of force and communication management methodology using resource optimization methods in military (force) operations

The most characteristic features of the construction of communication systems of groups of troops (forces) during the conduct of hostilities (operations) are a high level of a priori uncertainty regarding the operational situation and a small amount of initial data for communication planning. In such conditions, it is important to correctly choose the apparatus for evaluating the made management decisions, which will allow the officials of the points of the control system of the communication system of the groups of troops (forces) to be confident in the made decisions. That is why the issue of increasing the effectiveness of the management of forces and devices of communication of groups of troops (forces) during operations is an important and urgent issue. The object of the research is the communication system of the group of troops (forces). The subject of the research is the effectiveness of the communication system of the grouping of troops (forces) in accordance with the purpose of the operation. The research developed a method for managing forces and devices of communication using methods of resource optimization in the operations of troops (forces). The novelty of the proposed method consists in taking into account the type of uncertainty regarding the operational situation in the operational space. Also, taking into account the number of members of the grouping (consumers of communication services) of groups of troops (forces) in operations. The novelty of the developed method consists in taking into account the duration of the operation (fighting) and the calculation of the labor costs necessary to meet the needs of the communication services of groups of troops (forces) while planning measures for the distribution and use of forces and devices of communication. The specified method is proposed to be implemented: – in planning documents during planning the deployment and operation of forces and devices of communication; – in the software during operational management of the communication system of troop groups.
