AUTOMATED CONTROL SYSTEM FOR THE ASSIGNMENT OF RADIO FREQUENCIES BASED ON A RISK-BASED APPROACH IN THE PLANNING OF RADIO COMMUNICATIONS IN THE UNITS OF MILITARY ROBOTIC COMPLEXES

Abstract

The use of a wide range of radio stations of various generations in the Armed Forces of the Russian
Federation has led to the impossibility of fully taking into account all their features when planning
radio communications. For example, it becomes an extremely difficult task to take into account the entire
list of self-detected frequencies by the emissions of their own heterodynes of various radio stations,
as well as frequencies prohibited for establishing and conducting radio communications. In this regard,
the risks of lack of radio communication or violation of the rules for the use of the radio frequency range
have increased many times, including in the units of military robotic complexes (RTK VN). The article
notes that one of the biggest problems in creating a unified digital combat control system, the technical
basis of which will be a wireless communication network - a radio communication network operating in
various frequency ranges, today is meeting the requirements of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
and, in particular, meeting the requirements for the correct use of the radio frequency spectrum.
To optimize the process of radio communication planning in the formations of the RTK VN, to increase
its efficiency and effectiveness, the article proposes to create and apply an automated system for monitoring
the assignment of radio frequencies based on a risk-based approach. It is shown that the riskoriented
approach when planning radio communications in the divisions of the RTK VN involves a
comparative assessment of the nominal value of the assigned operating frequency with a list of selfdetected
frequencies of each of the radio stations used, as well as with a list of prohibited frequencies for
establishing radio communications (frequencies for transmitting distress signals, etc.). It is reasoned
that this approach will reduce the risks of lack of radio communication or violation of the rules for using
the radio frequency range. It will optimize the processes of automated planning of radio communications
in the formations of the RTK VN and increase the efficiency and effectiveness of automated planning
and management of radio communications during combat operations. The article describes the
algorithm of the automated control system for the assignment of radio frequencies. The software implementation
of this algorithm involves the creation and storage in the appropriate memory area of libraries
(databases) of the main prohibited frequencies defined by the legislation of the Russian Federation.
In addition, these libraries (databases) store lists of self-reflected frequencies by the emissions of their
own heterodynes of all types of radio stations used, given in the technical description of each of the
radio stations used.
