Thestate-backed hybrid threat applies the concept of “smart power” in a destructive manner. “The opposing forces”, through public cognitive manipulations, can achieve a national state deception, can blame another actor/s as a hybrid threat and destabilization source, and to excuse their own actions. The counteraction of a Hybrid threat by disunited societies, societies that difficulty formulate common goals and are not unanimous at threat recognition, is extremely difficult and/or impossible.

  • Summary/Abstract:Laser weapons use directed electromagnetic radiation generated by high-technology electronic system. It impacts both thermally and mechanically onto the subject of irradiation. Due to the high flux density of the incident electromagnetic radiation it could lead to a disintegration of its subject by means of melting, evaporation or sublimation. In a pulse mode the thermal influx causes a mechanical shock, accompanied by the formation of plasma jet. The latter, on its term, could induce onto the subject surface electric currents and radiofrequency electromagnetic fields. The lasers considered most suitable for direct weapon applications are solid-state and chemical infrared lasers which show the greatest electromagnetic power flux densities. With respect to mobile and portable weapon systems, the solid-state lasers with diode pumping show the best perspectives. Trough multi-modal generation the lasers in laser weapon platforms for countering the treat of UAVs, low-flying aircraft and incoming short-range ballistic targets, could be used in different regimes for target acquisition and designation as well as for direct target kill.

  • No. of Pages:11
  • Keywords:matched filter; throughput; signal to noise ratio; simulation modeling; correlation function
  • Summary/Abstract:In the report, a variant for the synthesis of a mathematical model of a matched filter for compensation of passive interference is proposed, which allows to apply the classical method of compensation by during a period subtraction and enhancement of the signal-to-noise ratio. At the beginning of the publication, the topicality of the topic is proven and the initial and restrictive conditions for conducting the research are described. To achieve the goal, special attention has been paid to the advantages of superconducting signals, and more precisely to the throughput and the signal-to-noise ratio. The study was performed by simulation modeling of a real signal reflected from the target, with the initial conditions and the choice of probing ultra-broadband signal set. The essence of the proposal consists in the application of a coherent filter built on nonlinear transmission circuits and its integration at the input of the receiving device. Thus, the SF plays the role of a pre-filter aligned with the duration of the probing ultra-wideband signal. At the output, a signal is formed with clearly expressed maxima of the correlation function and with insignificant noise samples. The results show that the idea laid down in the research is applicable and provides: an increase in the signal-to-noise ratio by up to 5-6 dB; in the subsequent processing, the classical methodology for compensating passive disturbances is applicable.

  • Keywords:ecological systems; environment; war; biodiversity; ecosystem structure; conflict; military activities
  • Summary/Abstract:he military activity of m odern states poses a special danger to the ecological state due to the specificity of means and methods of achieving the set goals. However, in modern conditions, not only military operations, but also everyday activities of troops have irreparable consequences for nature. The article examines the impact of modern warfare and military activities on the structure and functioning of ecosystems. The consequences of military conflicts and daily military activities on the environment were examined. It is brought to the attention that the above-mentioned activities have an overwhelming negative impact on the structure and functioning of the ecosystem. However, it is emphasized that along with the negative impact, there is also a positive impact of military activities on environmental security. Thus, military activity was favorable for the environment under certain conditions, for example, when an exclusion zone was created, which usually led to an increase in the number or restoration of the populations. Due to the limited access to research results on issues related to military activities, information related to the impact of military operations on the environment is relatively scarce and is often studied years after the cessation of military activities and without knowledge of the initial conditions. This highlights the importance of conducting additional research on the environmental impact of military activities, which will help identify opportunities to mitigate negative consequences, while informing the development of optimal rehabilitation and recovery strategies.

  • Summary/Abstract:The transition from a post-industrial economy to a digital economy is presented as a major trend in world economic development at the beginning of the 21st century. The relationship and conditioning of the term “digital economy” with related concepts is traced and it is emphasized that the digital economy creates new opportunities for growth and well-being, but is also associated with many challenges. The digital economy is emerging as a generalizing concept, which is reduced not only to new digital technologies, but also to significant changes in the traditional rules of doing business, in new manifestations of classical economic laws. The expansion of the digital economy thus has major strategic implications for productivity growth and global GDP.

  • Summary/Abstract:The system for processing reflected signals presented in the report is applied in a short-range UAV radar designed for remote measurement of basic parameters of the target. In this SSHL radar, the “phase method” is chosen for the separation of signals from moving targets, because relative changes in the frequency of oscillations modulating the probing pulse and its duration when reflected from a moving target are very small, and their measurement for optimal operation of the SPC system by the PIKK method is practically very complicated. The report examines the operation of a system for processing SHL signals, which can be used in the synthesis of the SSPC of a radar for the detection of moving point and small-sized objects and the measurement of movement parameters after the application of the “phase method” to reduce the influence of passive interference, or the reflections from stationary objects and the underlying surface.

  • Keywords:drone; drone combat; institutional interaction; military sites; strategic objects
  • Summary/Abstract:The report presents the results of a scientific study, which substantiates the need to organize institutional interaction in the application of radio-electronic measures to combat drones. The conflict in Ukraine has revealed the great possibilities of using drones as a combat tool both on the battlefield and in striking critical civilian and military infrastructure. In response to the changed security environment, it became necessary to take additional peacetime countermeasures to drone activities around areas of military or strategic sites. By a decree of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Bulgaria, effective from the beginning of December 2023, the security of strategic sites was added as a strategic activity. The temporary obstacle facility on the Bulgarian-Turkish border was announced as a strategic object in 2017. These new circumstances determine the relevance of the present topic to propose organizational measures for the effective implementation of institutional interaction in the application of radio-electronic measures to combat drones.
