FEATURES OF PROVIDING FAILURE PROTECTION OF SATELLITE NAVIGATION SYSTEMS AS PART OF UNMANNED GROUND VEHICLES DURING PERFORMANCE OF LOGISTICS TASKS

Abstract

The article discusses the problems associated with the use of unmanned ground vehicles for the needs of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The delivery of military property and ammunition directly to the combat zone is currently difficult and extremely dangerous for personnel.

The widespread use of global satellite navigation systems in the military field has revealed the disadvantages of using phase-modulated signals, which are considered the most effective way to protect against unintentional interference. The rapid development and active use on the battlefield of so-called "suppressors" of satellite navigation signals as part of EW means requires the use of interference-resistant navigation devices as part of communication subsystems and control automation of unmanned ground vehicles to solve tasks that arise in the process of using them for their intended purpose.

In the course of the research, a solution to the set tasks was proposed based on the use of computational (software) methods of "transformation" of navigation signals, and a program for simulation modeling of an adaptive antenna array in 3D space was developed in order to improve the immunity of satellite navigation systems as part of unmanned ground vehicles during the performance of logistical tasks provision for the needs of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Keywords: logistic support, unmanned ground vehicle, global satellite navigation system, spatial signal processing technologies.
