The article describes the peculiarities of the use of information technology in teaching the discipline "Descriptive geometry, engineering and computer graphics". SolidWorks in combination with traditional teaching methods was used to develop professional imagination as a necessary intellectual quality of bachelors of the specialty "Road Transport", at the stage of improving the professional and moral and psychological support of the activity of the personnel of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine (SBGSU). The work combines drawing work on a drawing sheet with the use of information technologies and retains active cadet intervention in the process of creating volumetric images directly in a graphic editor. The paper demonstrates the peculiarities of the cadets' acquisition of practical skills in creating volumetric models with SolidWorks tools and the development of detail drawings. The main criteria for the selection of individual tasks are substantiated: complex nature and clearly expressed geometric orientation. The objects selected for imaginary transformations were simple geometric shapes and volumetric bodies. On the basis of the developed psychological tests the influence of the means of performing technical tasks with the use of a graphic editor on the formation and development of the professional imagination of cadets is determined. The use of SolidWorks Graphic Editor has fostered professional imagination, spatial and logical thinking, and has developed a desire for technical and professional activity which provided the opportunity to perform various technical tasks quickly and professionally and to increase the country's defense capability.

The article reveals the research of social and communicative competence formation of future boatmasters in the process of studying humanities. This competence covers a system of social and communicative knowledge, skills, as well as basic values and personal qualities necessary for effective interpersonal interaction and ensuring the safety of a ship. The structure of social and communicative competence of a future boatmaster is determined by the content of his or her professional activity and covers the following components: personal-value, cognitive-content and activity-effective. The results of the study made it possible to establish the educational reserves for improving the quality of training future boatmasters and forming their social and communicative competence. Taking into account the trends of globalization of the maritime shipping industry and the impact on the professional training of future boatmasters, the influence of postmodernism on formation and development of value orientations of students, the emergence of new social values, it is assumed that formation of social and communicative competence will be effective in case at the Maritime institutions of higher education will be introduced such pedagogical conditions: structuring the content of humanitarian disciplines in accordance with the basic values of social and communicative interaction of future boatmasters; using dialogical methods for the development of future boatmasters skills of interpersonal professional interaction; developing on the basis on contextual training of managerial decision making skills; preparation of teaching staff to forming social and communicative competence of future boatmasters. The effectiveness of pedagogical conditions of the formation of social and communicative competence of future boatmasters in the process of studying humanities was confirmed by the results of the pedagogical experiment. According to the results of the study the cadets of experimental group had mostly high (36.03 %) and average (45.96 %) levels of social and communicative competence formation. In control group, these data were 24.38% and 44.37%, respectively. In this group, the number of cadets with a low level, compared to experimental group, was much higher and amounted to 31.25 % (13.24% more than in experimental group).

У статті розглянута можливість використання сигналів покриття мережі інтернет, стільникових телефонних мереж, сигналів радіомовлення та телебачення для забезпечення виявлення повітряних цілей. Розглянуто переваги, недоліки, склад та принцип роботи напівактивної радіолокаційної ситеми. Досліджені питання технічної реалізації антен та приймачів напівактивної радіолокаційної системи. Запропоновано алгоритм обробки сигналів у напівактивній радіолокаційній системі. Доповнення системи радіолокаційної розвідки повітряного простору засобами напівактивної радіолокації забезпечить її скритність, а відповідно й живучість.

The article substantiates the technology of continuous professional training of future specialists in navigation and management of sea vessels in higher maritime educational institutions and the results of experimental testing of its effectiveness. Pedagogical conditions that have a cross-cutting impact and should be implemented during all four stages have been also determined. To test the effectiveness of the author's technology, a study was conducted, which involved students who studied at the first (Bachelor's) and second (Master's) levels of higher education in higher maritime educational institutions. Comparison of the results of the state of formation of readiness of future specialists in navigation and management of sea vessels for professional activity in Control and Experimental groups using mathematical statistics methods showed that obtained qualitative and quantitative characteristics have reliable differences in favor of experimental groups, which indicates the effectiveness of the author's technology.
