The war in Ukraine and, as a result, the growth of international tensions became the main issue of national security and the need to identify effective prospective weapons. In conditions where the enemy is significantly superior in all components (technically and quantitatively), unmanned (robotic, remotely controlled) powerful fire weapons are able to influence the course of hostilities. The war Nagorno-Karabakh (2020) in and Ukraine (2014-2022) showed the high effectiveness of weapons placed on unmanned (robotic) platforms. The development and adoption of new weapons systems and military equipment, high-precision means of reconnaissance and attack, automated control systems will lead to the review and reform of the organizational and personnel structure of the troops, the timeliness and efficiency of the execution of combat tasks, the maximum preservation of personnel, etc. One of these means of fire damage can be a robotic flamethrower complex. The prospect of using robotic systems, their tactical and technical justifications are quite relevant and in demand in today's conditions. The purpose of the research is to study the perspective of using a robotic flamethrower complex, to determine its main characteristics, role and place in the organizational and staff structure of a flamethrower platoon of a radiation, chemical, biological protection company. The work analyzes the typical organizational and personnel structure of a flamethrower platoon and its combat capabilities. Tactical and technical characteristics for the development of a new robotic flamethrower complex were proposed, and a new typical organizational and personnel structure of the flamethrower platoon, which will be adopted, was developed. The effectiveness (probability) of hitting the target with the proposed weapon sample was calculated. Based on the analysis of the obtained results, the main advantages of the flamethrower platoon, which will be armed with a robotic flamethrower complex, are formulated. In particular, the autonomy of task performance, high accuracy of damage, mobility and survivability, increased damage range and power of flamethrower shots, the ability to perform tasks in any weather and at any time of the day, and the absence of a psychological factor. The introduction of a robotic flamethrower complex into the staff of a radiation, chemical, biological protection company will help reduce the number of personnel on the battlefield.

Hybrid conduct, efficiency and rapidity of hostilities depend on many factors, including the ability to constantly receive information from the battlefield, time to make decisions and clear implementation of tasks. This can be achieved by increasing the efficiency of all types of reconnaissance, including chemical. The article substantiates the prospects of using unmanned aerial vehicles to detect chemical contamination during chemical reconnaissance by radiation, chemical and biological reconnaissance units. It is established that the probability of detecting a chemical situation depends on the degree of training, physical endurance, psychological stability and fatigue of reconnaissance patrol personnel, technical characteristics of devices installed on reconnaissance vehicles, speed of reconnaissance vehicle or pedestrian patrol in hard-to-reach places. The capabilities of radiation, chemical and biological reconnaissance units to quickly detect chemical conditions are significantly enhanced by conducting air reconnaissance by unmanned aerial vehicles and equipping ground and air reconnaissance devices with devices that identify both combat poisons and hazardous chemicals. It is shown that the use of UAVs with a set of passive infrared spectrometry and automated real-time data transmission system is currently the best option, as the probability of detecting war poisons (hazardous chemicals) in a given area increases, and time for chemical reconnaissance - decreases, which, accordingly, increases the response time of units to a chemical threat. To install modern chemical reconnaissance equipment, in particular passive Fourier-ICS devices, helicopter-type UAVs must meet the following requirements: length - up to 5 m, weight of useful equipment - up to 50 kg, cruising speed - 150 km / h. In addition, it decreases moral exhaustion and the risk of personnel damage. The probable order of application of unmanned aerial vehicles of helicopter type equipped with modern devices is given.

The quality of tasks during the elimination of the consequences of destruction (accidents) of potentially dangerous objects by all units of different departments depends on the experience and coherence of actions, objective quantitative assessment and effectiveness of all measures provided by the regulations in these situations. The purpose of the study: to develop a mathematical model that allows to evaluate the effectiveness of radiation, chemical, biological exploration and special treatment during the elimination of destruction (accidents) at potentially dangerous objects. Objectives of the study: to determine the main tasks that arise during RHB infection and to consider the possibility of using a mathematical model to determine the effectiveness of their implementation using the theory of queuing. The model for determination of efficiency of performance of the set tasks is investigated and using methods of the mathematical analysis and the theory of queuing ways of its perfection are substantiated. Applying the model of the system approach, the possibility of increasing the efficiency of radiation, chemical or biological reconnaissance and special treatment is mathematically substantiated. It is proved that the relative efficiency does not depend on the number of units of resources involved and the duration of the process, but only on the number of measures taken. The obtained results can be used when considering and evaluating the effectiveness of any units of CBRN protection involved in the elimination of the consequences of destruction (accident) at potentially dangerous objects, as the optimal solution always has only one (highest) measure of "rationality" as it maximizes system efficiency.
