Abstract: The subject of the study is a scientific and methodological apparatus for evaluating the effectiveness of systems for countering robotic complexes. The object of research is a scientific and methodological apparatus for analyzing systems for countering robotic complexes at important facilities. The aim of the work is to develop a scientific and methodological apparatus for evaluating the effectiveness of systems for countering robotic complexes at important facilities in the direction of taking into account their structure, spatial configuration, as well as the synergetic effect of the joint use of heterogeneous technical means as part of the system. In order to achieve the research goal, the general logical-probabilistic modeling method and the tools of modern geoinformation systems are comprehensively applied in the work. The article proposes a new approach to evaluating the effectiveness of spatially distributed multi-bridge systems for countering robotic complexes. The results obtained can be used by interested organizations to evaluate the effectiveness of variants of such systems and identify their vulnerabilities. The scientific novelty consists in the development of an approach to assessing the effectiveness of spatially distributed multi-border systems for countering robotic complexes, taking into account their structure, spatial configuration, as well as the synergetic effect of the joint use of heterogeneous technical means of countering robotic complexes through the integrated use of new logical-probabilistic models and modern geoinformation technologies. The results obtained in the article indicate that the goal of the work has been achieved.

Abstract: The subject of this research is methods of application of terahertz (sub-terahertz) inspection systems for detecting concealed carry weapon, makeshift explosive devices made of nonstandard materials and other prohibited substances. The object of this research is the detection of concealed carry weapon, makeshift explosive devices made of nonstandard materials and other prohibited substances. The authors examine the application of terahertz (sub-terahertz) inspection systems of compact and portal (stationary) types in the integrated security systems. Special attention is given to the options of using these complexes for expanding the capabilities of the subsystems of video monitoring and detection of sabotage and terrorist means. The conclusion is made on the need to develop the tactics for application of the existing systems of personal security screening, the operation of which is based on radio camera imaging in terahertz (sub-terahertz) frequency range. The authors’ special contribution lies in formulation of recommendations that contain the options of using terahertz (sub-terahertz) inspection systems of various types for detecting concealed carry weapon, makeshift explosive devices made of nonstandard materials and other prohibited substances. The acquire results would help to improve the efficiency of organizing the onsite pass control. The scientific novelty consists in fact that the authors are first within the framework of development of the tactic of using terahertz (sub-terahertz) inspection system to develop proposals of implementation of such means as part of the integrated security systems for detecting concealed carry weapon, makeshift explosive devise made of nonstandard materials and other prohibited substances that differ in carrying out the inspection procedures.
