Methodology for Establishing the Total Mass Requirements of a Combat Equipment Complex for Security Personnel Under Regulated Motor Reaction Time Conditions

The article addresses the issue of establishing the total mass requirements of a combat equipment complex for security personnel under regulated motor reaction time conditions. Based on the scientific sources analysis, it has been established that the execution of certain tactical actions by security personnel requires a rapid motor reaction which is significantly influenced by the combat equipment complex mass. It has been determined that the existing scientific and methodological framework for forming requirements for weapons and military equipment does not take this influence into account. One of the approaches to establishing the total mass requirements of the combat equipment complex is proposed, which involves using its permissible total mass dependencies on the specified motor reaction time for security personnel. A version of the methodology for establishing the total mass requirements of the combat equipment complex for security personnel under regulated motor reaction time conditions has been developed. This methodology utilizes the permissible total mass dependencies of the combat equipment complex for security personnel under regulated motor reaction time conditions with such a complex after performing certain tactical actions. The proposed methodology enables meeting motor response time requirements feasibility verification using existing versions of combat equipment components. If such feasibility exists, it allows a combat equipment complex selection that, based on task effectiveness criteria, response speed, and the security personnel survivability, while considering the decision-maker preferences as well— the best meets the task conditions.
