The article considers the task of digitalization of the military economy of the Russian Federation is considered in the aspects of development of end-to-end digital technologies in the inter-corporate environment of the defense-industrial complex (DIC) of Russia in our country. It is shown, that the solution to the problem of digitalization of the military economy is inextricably linked with the implementation of digital transformation of economic agents of the DIC.

The article presents a distributed spaceborne AESA concept based on a swarm of small satellites. The key distinction is a stochastic synthetic aperture: each satellite digitizes I/Q signals with precise time and coordinate tagging. A central cluster performs synchronization, calibration, phase compensation and digital beamforming. This enables global, high-resilience, reconfigurable next-generation systems — far more flexible and fault-tolerant than monolithic spacecraft.

A methodology has been developed for estimating the probabilistic-temporal characteristics of the flow of command and program information in multilevel hierarchical control systems. When modeling the passage of signals, the limitations caused by the cyclical movement of consumers of target information are taken into account. The developed methodology includes the implementation of simulation cycles and requirements for the probability of preventing unauthorized access to the automated control system (ACS).

The main factors affecting the effectiveness of the security system of the control facility, the specifics of the use of engineering and technical means, taking into account possible patterns of violations, are considered, a generalized criterion for the effectiveness of the security system is justified, allowing to manage the safety of the facilities of the control system, and the procedure for determining it.

The article discusses the structure of a dynamic simulator for training combat crews of the BTR-80A armored personnel carrier. A structural diagram of the dynamic simulator and its components is presented. Training on this simulator takes place in a synthesized background-target environment, simulating the dynamic similarity of the armored personnel carrier’s movement over rough terrain.

The article formalizes the description of the feeding system of modern naval artillery installations with cartridge feeding and provides a generalized diagram of the system. It also addresses the issue of uninterrupted ammunition delivery to the delivery line during continuous gun aiming. The article compares the main naval artillery installations that use axis-based feeding.

The article considers the problem of forming initial data for the design of external ballistics of aircraft, namely, the formation of aerodynamic characteristics of the projected aircraft. An approach to the formation of aerodynamic characteristics is proposed, an example of using the proposed approach is given, and an assessment of the applicability of the proposed approach to the problem being solved is given.

Based on the approach to evaluating the effectiveness of promising mine detectors using the beta distribution function, the results of their definitive field tests are presented, an efficiency criterion is formulated, mathematical calculations are given for determining the test volume. Suggestions are made on the methodology of testing, as well as recommendations for calculating the efficiency indicator in the form of the probability of detecting a mine with a given reliability and additional operational parameters.

There are developed the theoretical and practical aspects to implement the passive anti-thermal imaging protection of objects which based on a unified anti-thermal imaging module. The modules design and thermophysical models and the quality estimation of anti-thermal imaging coatings are developed. Samples of modules were manufactured and their thermal experimental studies were conducted. The prospects for using such coatings are discussed.

In the post-war years, in the context of the «cold» confrontation, the interests of science, scientists of the defense complex, and security intertwined tightly and inextricably, like nowhere else in the world. One of the strategic objectives was to create a rocket fuel that would allow intercontinental missiles to achieve their goals. Based on archival and other sources, the article reveals the stages of solving this problem, and the scientific teams involved.

The article is devoted to the experience of the creation and functioning of military commandant's offices in the period 1941–1946. Based on archival sources, materials and documents of state and military administration bodies, memoirs and speeches in the periodical press, it reveals the issues of the development of the regulatory framework, organizational structure and features of the combat use of military commandant communications. The article shows the influence of the generalized experience of the functioning of military commandant's offices of communications on the development of the military communications system.
