Imulation of Explosive Objects Detection Processes Using the Induction Method Based on the Results of Experimental Research

Abstract

With the beginning of the undeclared war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine in 2014, and the subsequent large-scale invasion in February 2022, the issue of reconnaissance and demining of the area from explosive devices both during the conduct of hostilities and in their absence became very acute. The experience of the war shows that the enemy, despite international conventions on the prohibition of certain types of mine weapons, uses its entire available arsenal of mines and improvised explosive devices, which are often set to non-removable. In addition to mines and improvised explosive devices, a large number of unexploded ordnance contaminates the territory of Ukraine, where hostilities are conducted or released. Analysis of the execution of reconnaissance and demining tasks by the engineering units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine shows that the main method today remains manual, which is extremely dangerous for the lives of personnel. In order to ensure the fulfillment of these tasks, work is underway to create domestic means of remote reconnaissance and demining. One of the components of such means are search 27 elements for explosive objects that work on different physical principles. In addition to theoretical provisions, one of its important stages is conducting an experimental study. In the article, based on previously developed theoretical provisions, the modeling of the processes of detecting explosive objects by the induction method during a one-factor experiment is carried out with the aim of substantiating individual indicators of the effectiveness of elements of the search for explosive objects of remote-controlled demining complexes.
