Abstract

The main actions of the enemy deep in the country are aimed at destroying critical infrastructure facilities. Effective protection of important facilities requires a comprehensive approach and officials must understand the possible ways and methods of averting air threats to ensure the survivability of protected facilities. The system of comprehensive protection of a critical infrastructure facility is designed to implement a set of measures to reduce the likelihood of damage to the facility as a result of air attack strikes. The article presents the results of the analysis of the main characteristics of air attack weapons, in particular the range and mass of the warhead. The conducted set of studies showed low values of the effective scattering surface of strike weapons in the radar range. The results of modeling detection capabilities, including low-altitude movement routes, are presented. For operation in the interests of direct detection of air targets and target designation for mobile fire groups, a comparative analysis of the capabilities of small-sized radars was conducted. A list of radio reconnaissance means for detecting air targets and target designation for electronic warfare means is proposed. A list of means of radio jamming is proposed as part of the functional countermeasure subsystem. Means of distorting the radar and optical portrait, as well as means of masking objects of protection, are considered. Variants of equipping the fire damage subsystem are presented. To increase the detection range of low-altitude air targets, it is proposed to install radar means on air balloon platforms. The balloon equipment subsystem can also be used to install optoelectronic and acoustic detection means, means of radio reconnaissance and electronic warfare. According to the results of the study, the composition of the system of complex protection of critical infrastructure objects from strikes by enemy air attack means is proposed.
