It is important to understand that it may take a while before the required number of military vehicles of different classes and tonnage can be produced. As a result, there could be a problem in quickly and completely solving this issue. The best way to address this problem is to choose wheeled vehicles that are most suitable for domestic conditions based on their technical characteristics and indicators to adequately complete the wheeled vehicle fleet of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the units of the National Guard of Ukraine.
After analyzing the wheeled vehicle fleet of the main countries that manufacture military vehicles and reviewing normative and technical documents on mobility issues, the author has proposed approaches to define mobility in complicated Ukrainian conditions. Specifically, mobility is a complex indicator that encompasses speed, maneuverability, controllability, cross-country ability, stability, and autonomy of military vehicles (MV).
The research proposes a methodological approach to quickly assess the situation using the method of analytic hierarchy, which takes into account the technical criteria used to select wheeled vehicle equipment.
The method of analytic hierarchy involves constructing a hierarchical model, determining the eigenvectors and eigennumbers of square inverse symmetric matrices, and verifying the consistency of the results.
This approach enables ranking the basic properties of MV mobility and identifying those that are currently the most important for selecting military equipment. The selection criteria are based on the current legislative and regulatory framework concerning defense procurement at public expense.
The performed calculations help determine the weight share of each of the seven main technical indicators that significantly affect the mobility performance of military motor vehicles on the modern battlefield, as well as in assessments of other military equipment.
