3.3 Databases of system information

The system input information must be structured and stored in thematic databases so that they can always be used quickly.

The information databases can be divided into:


• An urbanized area (including location, population, livelihood, ethnic groups and their leaders with photographs, layout and characteristic of infrastructure, structure of state and municipal authorities, facilities, and important buildings)

identification meeting the criteria of optimality in terms of the minimum time spent when covering and the calculation of the total time needed for its covering. In its implementation, most of the types of movement considered have been verified. Tracked vehicles were represented by BVP-2, wheeled vehicles by Tatra T815 (44), and the dismounted element by soldiers. The mean deviation of verified model results and the practical measurements besides the abovementioned

Supplemental measurements were carried out in experiments No. 1 and No. 2 relating to the movement of a reconnaissance group for the purpose of a concealed approach and the tracking of the object of interest. The same method of maneuver and approach was used in the experiment with a ground autonomous vehicle, the execution of which was calculated for the passability of wheeled vehicles. An offroad four-wheeler with a driver was simulating the vehicle, which solved the problems with the direct control of the vehicle, and the requirements for the terrain passability of wheeled vehicles were fulfilled. Experiment No. 3 was aimed at using the flanking maneuver model implemented in the TDSS. In all the cases, the enemy was made up of groups of individuals armed with hand weapons, taking up a fire position. For performing experiments No. 1 and No. 3, two groups were selected; each one consisted of four soldiers with comparable experience and skills. The commanders of both groups were soldiers who had the same level of experience in the decision-making process, terrain analysis, and leadership. All the experiments were carried out in daylight conditions in January when the temperature ranged from 2 to 2°C, without precipitation, on a frosted surface with a layer of snow

Both reconnaissance groups were given a task to move unnoticed and as quickly as possible to the object of interest to monitor it. The load carried by each group member included a personal weapon, individual protective equipment, and a backpack of a total weight of 20 kg. Both groups were given the task mentioned at the same time and in the same initial area. Then, their decision-making and planning process to accomplish the task followed; they planned the fastest and safest movement route to the object of interest. In the phase of approach to the object, both groups should have used the route concealed from the identified enemy units' observation in the area of maneuver and should have begun the immediate monitoring of the object. The ALFA reconnaissance group used only a printed topographic map, compass, and GPS receiver to plan and cover the movement route. The planning process of this group lasted 16 minutes. The ALFA group commander tried to estimate the conditions of the terrain passability, the visibility of the enemy, and protecting terrain features. The result of his rapid assessment was a movement route along the edge of the forest, which protected the group from the observation over a distance of more than 50 m. The route was 4190 m long (see Figure 3). The group covered the route in 113 minutes. During this movement, the group was not observed by the enemy soldiers. In the time of 118 minutes, the group took up positions in the vicinity of the object of interest and started its observation.

As a support for the decision-making process to create a movement route, the

implemented in the TDSS, the possible application of which is described in [19]. The planning process of the BRAVO reconnaissance group took 7 minutes, including entering the identified enemy positions into the TDSS and the minimum necessary preparation to accomplish the task. Its route designed by the model is shown in Figure 4. When designing the optimal movement route, the TDSS calculated the

Editing the new types of military equipment and weapon systems in the database, as well as creating a completely new database, is apparent.
