Abstract

For the first time, a mathematical model of humanitarian demining in conditions of radiation contamination has been substantiated, which represents a system of three analytical dependencies. The first is a functional that describes the process of determining the limitations associated with ensuring the safety of deminers during humanitarian demining in conditions of radiation contamination, and the transition to determining the patterns of the corresponding demining activities using simulation systems. The second is a functional that represents the pattern of humanitarian demining in conditions of radiation contamination. The third is a functional for specifying, based on the obtained patterns, such rules for organizing the system “deminer - means of demining and protection - explosive objects in a radiation-contaminated area”, the implementation of which, under existing limitations, will allow exceeding the normative value of the efficiency of this system. In accordance with this model, a control algorithm for the information and technical method of ensuring humanitarian demining of radiation-contaminated areas has been developed, the control algorithm for the implementation of which involves the sequential execution of five procedures, namely: - determination of limitations that are characteristic of humanitarian demining in conditions of radiation contamination; - assessment of the quality indicators of the functioning of the system "deminer - means of armor and radiation protection - finding explosive objects in radiation-contaminated areas - typical humanitarian demining operations" based on the results of physical modeling or expert assessment of deminers' actions; - obtaining patterns of how humanitarian demining occurs in conditions of radiation contamination depending on the factors selected for analysis; - justification of practical recommendations; - selection of recommendations for implementation in regulatory documents based on the results of statistical assessments of how significant the effectiveness of their implementation is.
