Abstract

The subject of the article is the ontological decision support system in automated military control systems. The main purpose of the work is to determine the composition and structure of the decision support system by commanders of formations and units of the Land Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine using an ontological approach. Objective: to develop a decision support system based on the ontological knowledge base and create a prototype of software, mathematics and information support for it, offers for
algorithmization of functional activities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the battalion and above according to US Armed Forces standards (MDMP) at each stage (steps) of the military decision-making process. Conclusions. The basic features of decision support system for commanders of formations and units of the Land Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which is a central component of ontological knowledge base. A description of the possible use of ontologies to represent a structured constituent decisionmaking
and related components domains that describe this process. It is established that the subject area ontology is built to describe and explain the decision-making process of MDMP according to the standards of NATO member countries on the basis of knowledge formalized in guidelines for information exchange, database structure, and software implementation of models, methods and algorithms of individual modules of the decision support system. To simulate the formation and ontological decision support system for commanders of formations and units of the Land Forces of Ukraine has developed a prototype software and mathematics and information management, which can be used as a prototype for future automated subsystem management Armed Forces of Ukraine. Algorithmization of the work of offi cials of the battalion and above according to the standards of the US Armed Forces (MDMP) is proposed. Automation of each stage (step) of MDMP gives the chance to reduce time for decision-making. This material can be used in the implementation of the educational process of training offi cers and cadets of higher military educational establishments in the center of simulation, and subsequently for use in decision-making in warfare and military training centers.
