Organization of the Acquisition and Formalization of Knowledge of Intelligent Systems of Prospective Autonomous Military RTCs in the Course of Pilot Operation of Remote-Controlled Complexes

Abstract

In the article, based on the analysis of the world experience in the application of remotely-controlled robotic systems, it is concluded that the mass application of irrationality in the course of a prospective combined arms battle is irrational. The main disadvantages of classical remote control in combat conditions are increased requirements for the communication channel, limited range, unmasking of the object and control point, as well as the possibility of using radio electronic and fire countermeasures due to intensive radio exchange. It is shown that the real increase in the efficiency of the use of robotic complexes for military purposes is possible when they are used as part of groups, but they must have elements of autonomy and the ability to solve intellectual problems. Ensuring the autonomy of the functioning of robots and their groups located at a considerable distance from the control center, when performing tasks for their intended purpose, is primarily related to the development of intelligent combat weapon control systems for combat robots, including all the main phases of combat operations. The issues of acquiring knowledge for the construction of intelligent weapon control systems for autonomous terrestrial robots are considered. This phase of the life cycle is proposed, such as the pilot operation of robotic complexes for military purposes, used to determine the appearance and formation of intellectual decision-making systems, the acquisition in the course of it of formalization of knowledge about typical tasks of operation, a list, characteristics and attributes of typical goals, sequence of actions, list emerging alternatives in making decisions in the course of combat operations and the rules for their selection. It is proposed to involve engineers in knowledge during the whole cycle of pilot operation to form the rules of combat use of robotic complexes by experience, to formalize the knowledge gained for subsequent automation of decision-making processes and the formation of intellectual systems for military-type military hardware.
