Analysis of the current state of metrological support in the power structures of Ukraine

Based on the analysis of statistical data on the work of regional metrological military units (RMМU) of the Western and Northern regions for 2006-2022, development trends and directions for improving the state of metrological support have been established, which is the scientific novelty of the work. The established patterns of workload of these institutions allow us to reasonably plan the work of the required number of specialists. For the first time, a functional dependence of the number of repaired radio measuring instruments on the year of operation was obtained based on the analysis of real statistical data. It is shown that the transition from analog signal processing in modern radio electronic means to digital requires not only the use of the latest digital measuring instruments, but also the improvement of guidelines for their metrological support. By analyzing the work of regional metrological military units, the least reliable groups of measuring instruments have been identified, which require the creation of additional jobs for their verification and repair. It is proposed to use methods of physical diagnostics of modern digital measuring instruments, which significantly increases the reliability of assessing their technical condition. In this regard, it is necessary to pay attention to the training of highly qualified metrology specialists in higher education institutions.
