OUTLINE OF THE ISSUES 2023-12-28T13:04:55+00:00 Marcin Sztobryn m.sztobryn@law.mil.pl <p>The delivery of 32 F-35 aircraft is a huge opportunity for a generational and qualitative leap for the Air Force of the Republic of Poland. F-35 aircraft can be successfully implemented into the operational process. As a network-centric fighter, extremely lethal and survivable, the F-35 guarantees its pilots critical dominance over any opponent, allowing them to carry out their missions and return to the indicated location in complete safety. The F-35 aircraft is a differentiator in warfare, becoming the most advanced node of the network operational vision of 21st century warfare. The aim of the article was to present selected possibilities of using F-35 aircraft in the Polish Air Force. The main research methods here are: literature research, analysis, comparative studies and generalization. The presented results of scientific investigations allowed to clearly indicate the potential resulting from the purchase of the new platform.

This paper focuses on identifying damage to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles during their operation. The research problem was expressed by the question: which UAV elements are most often damaged, and what causes it. The research is based on the analysis of technical documents, an electronic damage archiving system, and manufacturer documentation. These studies were complemented by empirical research conducted at the 12th Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Base in Mirosławiec, Poland. The initial phase involved identifying damages affecting the operation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. Subsequently, the reliability measure was determined for the repairable two-state object, excluding repair time.</p> 2023-06-30T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Anna Michalska; Daniel Michalski; Stepan Savchuk https://journal.law.mil.pl/index.php/asi/article/view/61 THE APPLICATION OF THE METHODOLOGY TO DEFINE TERRAIN PASSABILITY ON A DETAILED LEVEL IN VARIOUS CONFIGURATIONS 2023-12-01T11:38:01+00:00 Wojciech Dawid wojciech.dawid@wat.edu.pl Krzysztof Pokonieczny krzysztof.pokonieczny@wat.edu.pl Marek Wyszyński marek.wyszynski@wat.edu.pl <p>The article presents a complete methodology to determine terrain passability as well as its application based on various configurations of input data. The methodology was developed with the use of the methods that had been created by the authors in their previous research projects. The determination of terrain passability consists of two stages: The first stage involves conducting the analysis of micro-relief with the aim to identify impassable spots in the area, while the second stage consists in determining the route for a specific vehicle that will avoid the existing obstacles formed by the micro-relief. Both these analyses generate results based only on a detailed digital terrain model (with a resolution of 1 m) and the traction parameters of the vehicles for which terrain passability is determined. One of the processes that are part of this methodology is the generalisation of the digital terrain model, which significantly improves the efficiency of the performed calculations. Test results demonstrated that the presented methodology enables successful automated generation of passability maps for specific vehicles and the creation of routes for such vehicles. The routes differ depending on the type of vehicle, which results directly from the fact that vehicles have different traction parameters. Nevertheless, the test results were satisfactory and demonstrated that the developed methodology may be applied by bodies that are responsible for planning military operations or crisis management activities.</p> 2023-06-30T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Wojciech Dawid, Krzysztof Pokonieczny, Marek Wyszyński https://journal.law.mil.pl/index.php/asi/article/view/48 DIAGNOSIS OF ISRAEL'S DEFENSIVE ACTIONS AGAINST TERRORIST ROCKET AND MORTAR ATTACKS IN THE YEARS 2001-2012 2023-12-08T18:07:35+00:00 Adam Radomyski a.radomyski@law.mil.pl Anna Michalska a.michalska@law.mil.pl <p>The threat to Israel from rocket and mortar attacks has been increasing in terms of strength and impact year after year. It can be assumed that rocket and mortar attacks have become the most dangerous weapons used by terrorist groups from Palestine and Lebanon, following suicide bombings. The two largest terrorist organizations, namely Hamas and Hezbollah, play a leading role in these actions. As this form of terrorism evolved, Israel had to improve the effectiveness of its defense system, resulting in a more efficient protection of civilian population and civil and military infrastructure against rocket and mortar attacks. The changes in the defense system required years of work, with a particular intensity during the years 2006-2012. The implemented changes in the security system led to the development of two forms of defense: passive and active, which are constantly modified and improved. The aim of this article was to characterize Israel's defense against rocket and mortar attacks carried out by terrorist groups in the years 2001-2012. The research conducted for this purpose has a practical nature, as it is based on facts and real actions implemented by Israel to minimize civilian casualties. The analysis begins in 2001 when the first rocket attacks on Israeli territory took place.</p> 2023-06-30T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Adam Radomyski, Anna Michalska https://journal.law.mil.pl/index.php/asi/article/view/35 ACCURACY ANALYSIS OF AIRCRAFT POSITIONING USING NAVIGATIONAL DATA FROM AVIA-W RADAR 2023-11-30T21:06:46+00:00 Kamil Krasuski k.krasuski@law.mil.pl Artur Goś a.gos@law.mil.pl Wojciech Mazur mazurwojciech2@gmail.com <p>The paper presents an analysis of the accuracy of determination of parameters of the position of aircraft using data from the AVIA-W radar. In the first place, the authors determined the position of the aircraft as well as the range and azimuth parameters by the AVIA-W radar, located in Dęblin. This was followed by a determination of the absolute position error of the aircraft and the determination of the range and azimuth measurement error by the AVIA-W radar. The research test was carried out using a Diamond DA40 NG aircraft on which a GPS satellite receiver was mounted in order to determine the flight reference position. In addition, the range and azimuth measurements for the aircraft were acquired from the AVIA-W radar. Navigational calculations were conducted for polar and rectangular planar coordinates. Based on the performed research, the azimuth error was found to be –1.4<sup>o</sup>, while the radar range measurement error was equal to –0.04 km. The conducted research is experimental in its character. In the future it will be repeated and extended to the GCA-2000 radar, which is also located at Dęblin military airfield.</p> 2023-12-30T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Kamil Krasuski, Artur Goś, Wojciech Mazur https://journal.law.mil.pl/index.php/asi/article/view/46 GALILEO HAS – FIRST PERFORMANCE TESTS DURING ITS INITIAL PHASE OF OPERATION 2023-11-14T09:05:47+00:00 Jarosław Cydejko j.cydejko@wn.umg.edu.pl <p>Galileo High Accuracy Service (HAS) became available in January 2023. As declared, in its final operational capability, it should be able to provide to users the Precise Point Positioning (PPP) at horizontal accuracy level better than 20 cm in real-time with 95% confidence globally. At the moment Galileo HAS works in its initial phase of operation with some limitations regarding its availability, convergence time and accuracy but gives the chance to observe the performance of positioning tool at the accuracy level which was available before by using differential measurement only. Galileo HAS PPP, free of charge and based only on satellite signals delivered by nominal Galileo constellation is unique in its kind between various GNSS positioning modes. This article presents the results of first, preliminary tests on Galileo HAS performance conducted in July 2023 in Gdynia, Poland. The field tests were conducted with Galileo HAS capable receiver in static conditions and focused on the verification the declared service performance in the real positioning scenarios. Additionally, the Galileo HAS PPP performance was compared with the simultaneous performance of other GNSS positioning methods such as EGNOS, DGPS, dual frequency GPS+Galileo or dual frequency GPS and dual frequency Galileo. This first experiences with Galileo HAS positioning should show all potential users what performance level can be achieved with this new, unique in its kind GNSS positioning method at the present state of its implementation.</p> 2023-06-30T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Jarosław Cydejko https://journal.law.mil.pl/index.php/asi/article/view/51 SOFTWARE DEFINED RADIO AND OPEN SOFTWARE AS A CRITICAL THREAT FOR UNMANNED OBJECTS 2023-12-08T10:22:50+00:00 Andrzej Felski A.Felski@amw.gdynia.pl Tomasz Kowalik t.kowalik@amw.edu.pl <p>Implementation of the Global Navigation Satellite Systems into almost all aspects of life causes specific, new troubles in the form of jamming and spoofing. The origin of the problem comes from the fact that the power of received signals are weak, and format and modulation of the signals are publicly known. If so, it seems to be easy to transmit falsified data to the receiver. However, in the opinion of some specialists the idea to generate false signals with GNSS structure seems to be very complicated. In this paper will show that in fact, this can be conducted with the use of cheap and widely accessible tools, without demanding any extraordinary skills or great funds. If so, this threat gathers a new meaning. The described experiment was performed within the framework of the student’s thesis on major navigation with cheap software defined radio and open sources software, accessible via the Internet.</p> 2023-06-30T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Andrzej Felski, Tomasz Kowalik https://journal.law.mil.pl/index.php/asi/article/view/39 ANALYSIS OF THE PHENOMENON OF FOG IN THE ASPECT OF PERFORMANCE OF AIR OPERATIONS AT SELECTED AIRPORTS IN POLAND 2023-11-14T09:45:15+00:00 Małgorzata Kirschenstein m.kirschenstein@law.mil.pl Krzysztof Cur k.cur@law.mil.pl <p>The article presents an analysis of the phenomenon of fog in terms of the performance of flight operations at selected airports in Poland in 1971–2020. The rationale for choosing the topic is the practical use of the results obtained in aviation. Takeoff and landing operations depend primarily on weather conditions. Among the most important is fog that limits visibility to less than 1000 meters. During the presence of visibility limitation, aircraft and airports should be equipped with systems that allow departure and landing approach procedures to be performed without visibility, otherwise flight operations should be halted, due to the high probability of dangerous situations. In view of the above, the statistical study of the frequency and duration of fog, as well as the determination of periods of their severity, constitutes important knowledge in the aspect of air traffic management. It was assumed that the realization of the purpose of the article will be based on the analysis of temporal variability and its regional variation, expressed in the spatial distribution of the number and duration of fog at selected airports in Poland. The dynamic inclusion of the selected element is a very important problem, the solution of which will make it possible to determine the individual characteristics of multi-year fog variability.</p> 2023-06-30T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Małgorzata Kirschenstein, Krzysztof Cur https://journal.law.mil.pl/index.php/asi/article/view/54 ACCURACY ASSESSMENT OF PRECISE POINT POSITIONING WITH MULTI-CONSTELLATION GNSS DATA UNDER STRONG SOLAR BURST EFECTS 2023-12-03T13:34:11+00:00 Stepan Savchuk s.savchuk@law.mil.pl Janusz Cwiklak j.cwiklak@law.mil.pl Vladyslav Kerker vladyslav.kerker.mhdkh.2022@lpnu.ua <p>Solar variations modify a layer of the Earth’s upper atmosphere known as the ionosphere. This is of particular concern for the aviation sector because of the way its communications and navigation systems can be affected. At the same time, one of the most complex atmospheric effects is the response of ionospheric regions to geomagnetic storms. The ionospheric response during the same storm can vary in time in different locations, which can introduce significant errors/displacement (meters) in single-frequency relative GNSS positioning (DGNSS technology). The residual effect can be somewhat mitigated by using dual- or multi-frequency GNSS, but dual frequency is not a guarantee against degradation of relative observations results, especially during significant geomagnetic storms. In this regard, PPP absolute positioning technology can be effective. However, another atmospheric effect – ionospheric scintillation can have a significant impact on the accuracy of both GNSS positioning approaches. The main goal of this study was to analyze the effect of second-order ionospheric delay during geomagnetic storms and ionospheric scintillations on GNSS positioning using the PPP method. GNSS data corrected and uncorrected for higher-order ionospheric delay, respectively, were processed by the static PPP-AR method using the PRIDE-PPPAR ver.2.2.6 software for the selected periods of geomagnetic storms. From the analysis of the influence of second-order ionospheric errors, it follows that their values can reach almost 4 cm for first-frequency signals under different states of ionospheric disturbances for the GPS constellation and almost an order of magnitude less for the GNSS quadroconstellation. The appearance of stronger geomagnetic storms increases the second-order ionospheric errors by several millimeters. </p> 2023-06-30T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Stepan Savchuk, Janusz Cwiklak , Vladyslav Kerker https://journal.law.mil.pl/index.php/asi/article/view/43 THE ROLE OF UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS IN THE TASKS OF MILITARY MEDICAL SUPPORT ON BATTLEFIELD 2023-12-07T08:23:26+00:00 Paweł Szczepaniak pawel.szczepaniak@itwl.pl Agnieszka Gugała-Szczerbicka agnieszka.gugala-szczerbicka@itwl.pl Dariusz Rodzik dariusz.rodzik@wat.edu.pl <p>The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the advantages and functionalities of the concept implemented for the needs of the Polish Armed Forces of using unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) as a two-level unmanned reconnaissance and medical system designed to acquire and provide information about the health condition of soldiers injured on the battlefield, as well as to provide initial medical aid.

It is mainly related to: handling label; on-board service; communication with passengers or broadly understood safety and security. The punctuality of the flight and relation between ticket price and service comfort as well as flight are also important here. The subject literature does not specify the scale of measuring this quality. The material introduces the methodology of this issue, specifying the appropriate measures and their weights. All in all, this allows to develop specific standards for individual levels. Such a specific valuation can be used to advertise your airline and demonstrate competition between them in a globalized market.

One of the tools of radioelectronic warfare, which includes electronic reconnaissance, are radiolocation stations, which play a key role in detecting, tracking and identifying enemy aircraft and in directing armaments to combat these threats. The enemy’s own radiolocation stations are also targeted. The missiles used to do this are called anti-radar missiles (ARM). One way to defend against them is to modify the electromagnetic field around the protected radar. The purpose of this article was to present a model of coherent interference of an anti-radiation missile in a radar trap system The authors applied an analysis of the available literature and carried out computer simulations in the MATLAB environment.

Modern teaching aids, such as aircraft trainers and simulators, enable good acquisition of knowledge, as well as the safety of aviation training and the preparation of military pilots to perform combat tasks. Despite many studies, there is no scientific definition of a flight simulator and trainer, which is the basis for understanding the terms during research in the discipline of safety sciences in the field of aviation. The problem situation resulted from the interchangeable use of the terms simulator and flight trainer. Apart from the divisions and classifications resulting from the specifications for certification of these devices by the relevant aviation authorities (also presented in the article), there is no scientific definition of a flight trainer and a flight simulator, and these terms are used interchangeably. The aim of the article is to create a scientific definition of a flight simulator and trainer.

The development of new technologies and current directions in digital transformation mean that an increasing number of areas within civil aviation are critically dependent on the secure functioning of computer systems. These dependencies increase the risk of cyberattacks, which can lead to serious consequences for the aviation sector and passenger safety. Therefore, cybersecurity is one of the significant challenges for civil aviation and is an important research topic. The article aims to present the issues of cybersecurity in civil aviation, taking into account the threats, legal framework, and requirements of the national cybersecurity system of the Republic of Poland. In order to achieve the adopted research objective, the analysis and synthesis of the literature on the subject, legal acts, and statistical data were used. The research results prove that cybersecurity in civil aviation is an interdisciplinary issue that requires a systemic approach and considers both safety and security aspects. The article proposes a classification of threats to cybersecurity in civil aviation, which can be developed both in the area of exposed threats and additional division criteria. Statistical data analysis has shown that recently there has been an increase in the number of data breaches, ransomware attacks, and DDoS attacks on civil aviation. Due to the growing risk of cyberattacks, a number of cybersecurity measures have been taken. The paper presents the legal framework of cybersecurity in civil aviation, which includes international, regional, and national regulations. Strategic documents, norms, standards, and industry solutions are also of key importance. Civil aviation is also an element of the national cybersecurity system of the Republic of Poland, which determines the need to meet specific requirements by the entities involved.</p> 2023-06-30T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Edyta Szczepaniuk https://journal.law.mil.pl/index.php/asi/article/view/13 IRREGULARITIES IN THE PROCESS OF AWARDING PUBLIC CONTRACTS CO-FINANCED BY RESOURCES FROM THE BUDGET OF THE EUROPEAN UNION 2023-02-01T08:46:43+00:00 Małgorzata Wilczyńska malgorzata.wilczynska@pwste.edu.pl <p>A properly and reliably functioning system of public procurement ensures the economic security of the state because the expenditure of public funds is carried out in an economical, economic, transparent and effective manner. Issues related to the award of public contracts co-financed by the resources from the budget of the European Union are extremely important from the point of view of the domestic economy. Due to the size of the public procurement market and the number of contracts carried out annually, it is inevitable that procurement irregularities will occur. The rules and procedure for awarding public contracts, legal remedies, rules for supervision and control of public procurement, rules for the contract concluded as a result of the conducted procedure are specified in the provisions of the Government Procurement in Poland. Public procurement is formalized. Both the contracting authority and the economic operator must act in a specific way and meet the requirements defined in the regulations. An important task for the beneficiaries of EU funds is to comply with the applicable rules of public procurement. In connection with the above, an important research problem remains the identification of irregularities occurring at individual stages of public procurement.
