MAIN PART
Introduction
Communication using modern technical means is the material and technical basis of the command and control system of troops and weapons.
To organize channels, lines and directions of communication in automated control systems for troops and weapons (ACS), communication technology and automated control systems (ACS) are used. The composition of communication technology and automated control systems includes the following groups of equipment:
Communication means are technical means that transmit and (or) receive messages, process and (or) store information in military communication systems. In the lexicon of military signalmen, along with the expression “means of communication”, such terms as “complex of means of communication” (CSS) and “complex of technical means” (CTS) are used.
Automation tools are technical devices designed to collect, process, store, display and document information, as well as to exchange data in an automated command and control system for troops and weapons.
Means of communication and automated control systems - means designed for power supply, maintenance, mechanization of work during their deployment and operation.
Mobile means of courier-postal communication - vehicles (land, water, air) intended for delivery secret documents(orders, combat orders and other documents) and postal items (letters, parcels, translations and periodicals).
Signaling means are means designed to give predetermined commands and signals. Signal means are sound and lighting. With their help, commands, reports, call signals, transfer or cease-fire, signals of target designation, mutual identification, designation of friendly troops, ensuring the interaction of units and subunits and alerts are transmitted. As lighting equipment are used: signal rockets, smoke bombs, lanterns, flags, sound - sirens, whistles, beeps.
Radio reconnaissance means are technical means intended for conducting radio reconnaissance.
Electronic warfare and radio countermeasures are technical means designed to conduct electronic warfare and radio countermeasures against enemy control and communication systems.
Study Question #1"Principles of building military communication systems
USA, China and NATO Allied Forces.
Military satellite communications systems
Features, systems
Satellite communication systems in the interests of the armed forces in the capitalist states, primarily in the United States, began to be developed in the 60s. To date, considerable experience has been accumulated in the operation of the SSS and certain views have been formed on their use for the purpose of command and control of the armed forces.
The main advantages of such systems:
operational deployment and provision of communications across the seas, deserts, mountains, territories occupied by the enemy;
low dependence of communication on the season, day, atmospheric interference, nuclear explosions
(especially in the ranges of SMV and MMV);
efficiency of restoration of communications in the main directions in case of damage to the ground communication network in the theater;
the ability to have small-sized stations to provide communication over almost any distance, a decrease in the number of personnel, etc.
A serious drawback of the CCC is the possibility of physical destruction of satellites, the organization of deliberate interference and insufficient secrecy of transmissions.
In the opinion of American experts, in terms of their tactical and economic capabilities, SSS are the main means of strategic communications in a unified automated command and control system. The issue of the use of SSS in the tactical level and control of nuclear forces was also positively resolved.
Specialized military SSS are built, as a rule, on single satellites for the Air Force, Navy and SV and the development of "their own" fleet of APs. Basic requirements for military SSS:
command and control of troops and weapons anywhere in the world, including areas occupied by the enemy;
ensuring high survivability of satellites in orbit and noise immunity of communication channels when exposed to electronic warfare;
tolerance of inefficient use of frequency bands and bandwidth of repeaters in the interests of meeting the requirements for the stability of communications and management;
providing multiple access to a large number of mobile APs (including aircraft and ships) with a relatively small channel under the influence of deliberate interference;
ensuring the secrecy of information transmission and protecting the system from disruption of its work by the enemy, etc.
With the development and improvement of the military SSS, views, in particular, on the efficiency of using the resource of frequency bands, bandwidth, economic efficiency of these systems were revised towards tightening.
At present, the armed forces of the capitalist states widely use commercial SSS on lease, and some countries, such as France, create systems for commercial and military purposes, placing repeaters on the same satellites.
The armed forces of the USA, NATO, England, France, Italy, in addition to leasing commercial CCC channels, have created, improved and developed new specialized CCCs of the armed forces: NATO, DSCS, Flitsatcom, Leasat, Afsatcom, Milstar, Sicral, Scynet, etc.
Almost all countries in the world have their own armed forces. Most strong armies currently located in the USA, Russia, China, Germany, Great Britain, France. A rather powerful military group has been created in the military-political North Atlantic Alliance (NATO bloc).
US armed forces in terms of their numbers, combat composition, the number of weapons and military equipment, they surpass the armed forces of such countries as Germany, Great Britain, France and Italy combined. They form the basis of the combat power of the NATO bloc.
The US Armed Forces include the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps. The total number of regular US armed forces is more than 1.3 million military personnel and about 700 thousand civilian personnel. The organized reserve is over one million people. The reserve, together with regular troops, participates in various exercises and maneuvers, is equipped with modern weapons and military equipment.
Supreme Commander the armed forces are the President, who exercises overall direction through the National Security Council and the Department of Defense.
The recruitment of personnel of the armed forces is carried out according to the voluntary principle of recruitment and the conclusion of individual contracts.
Citizens of the United States, citizens of other states permanently residing in the United States and having at least a secondary education are involved in the service. The term of the contract is from 3 to 6 years. A program has been established for all reservists, according to which they are attracted to classes one weekend a month and two weeks a year. If necessary, military personnel of the reserve components are called up for active service.
The ground forces are one of the main components of the general forces. They consist of military branches and various services. The types of troops include: infantry (motorized infantry), armor tank forces, field and anti-aircraft artillery, army aviation, as well as units and subunits of combat support - signal troops, engineering, chemical, military intelligence and military police.
The air force consists of units, formations and associations of intercontinental ballistic missiles, ground-based cruise missiles, strategic, tactical and military transport aviation. They also include the forces and means of air defense, warning of nuclear missile strikes and control of outer space.
The Navy is a heterogeneous and versatile branch of the US armed forces and is designed to conduct military operations in wars of various scale and nature.
An important component of the country's armed forces is the marines, they are kept in constant combat readiness and are used by the American military-political leadership as a strike force.
The main types of weapons and military equipment: Abrams tanks; BMP "Bradley"; BTR M113; PU ATGM "Dragon"; PU SAM "Patriot"; intercontinental ballistic missiles "Minuteman-3" and MX; aircraft F-15, F-16, F / A-18, C-12, A-10A; helicopters UH-60/A/L/M, AN-1W "Super Cobra"; multi-purpose nuclear aircraft carriers and small aircraft carriers; submarines PLA (nuclear submarine) and SSBN (nuclear ballistic missile submarine); battleships, cruisers, destroyers, minotral and landing ships.
Armed Forces of Germany(Bundeswehr) represent the most powerful army in Western Europe in terms of numbers and conventional weapons. The number of regular German armed forces is more than 300 thousand military and 75 thousand civilians, over 300 thousand people are in the reserve of the Bundeswehr. Germany has its own military industry, which is capable of producing almost all types of modern weapons and military equipment. The main part of the German armed forces is included in the combined armed forces of NATO.
The armed forces of Germany consist of ground forces, air forces and naval forces.
The German ground forces are made up of ground forces and territorial troops. The ground forces of Germany are divided into types of troops and types of weapons. The military branches include: control troops, combat troops, combat support troops and special types of troops. Control troops are designed to provide command and troops with communications, intelligence data, as well as to organize and maintain general order in the troops. The combat troops are the main branch of the armed forces and the backbone of the ground forces of the Bundeswehr. They combine two types of weapons - infantry and tank troops - and make up more than 80% of the entire combat strength of the ground forces. Combat support troops include army aviation, artillery, air defense troops, and engineering troops. The special branches of the armed forces include subunits and units of logistic support and subunits for protection against weapons of mass destruction.
The German Air Force is composed of operational-tactical guided missiles, tactical and fighter-bomber aircraft, as well as anti-aircraft missile systems.
The naval forces of Germany are considered one of the leading among the fleets of European states. They consist of a fleet and naval aviation. The combat strength of the German naval forces includes submarines, destroyers, frigates, small anti-submarine, landing and mine-sweeping ships, missile boats, as well as modern fighter-bombers, helicopters, reconnaissance aircraft and transport aircraft.
The German Chancellor is the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces. In peacetime, the general leadership of the armed forces is carried out by the Minister of Defense.
Since 2011, Germany has moved to manning the armed forces with contract volunteers and professional military personnel. During the period of stay in the reserve, personnel are regularly involved in retraining and to participate in exercises.
The main types of weapons and military equipment of the Bundeswehr: Leopard-2 tanks; BMP "Marder"; BTR M-113; PU ATGM "Milan"; PU ZUR "Hawk", "Roland" and "Patriot"; aircraft "Tornado"; helicopters UH-1D, "Sea Links", "Sea King"; submarines, frigates, torpedo boats.

Ground attack forces (special operations forces (SOF) are designed to solve specific tasks in the interests of achieving political, economic and military goals. The United States, Great Britain, Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Pakistan, Afghanistan have sabotage and reconnaissance forces , China, Japan, South Korea and other states.
The DRF includes sabotage and reconnaissance groups (DRGs) and special-purpose landing forces (SDS), created on the basis of regular reconnaissance and sabotage detachments (RDS) of the enemy's special operations forces.
RDO, designed for search and assault operations in the RD RD, has the following strength:
§ from the US Armed Forces SN group - 14 people;
§ from the regiment of the SN Armed Forces of Great Britain - 16 people;
§ from a separate reconnaissance and sabotage regiment of the French Armed Forces - 12 people.
Each RDO consists of a commander, his deputy and two identical squads, which are staffed by scouts-saboteurs. In combat use as a DRG, each RDO can operate both in full force and can be divided into two groups.
An LTO may include up to two to four RDOs. It is not excluded that the SDS will be equipped with units of the airborne troops. The composition of the DRG-6-10 people, DSN-20-60 people.
With regular forces and means, the SN group can:
§ perform tasks as part of the MTR or independently;
§ manage regular and attached units;
§ to organize an operational base for special forces;
§ deploy up to 3 forward operating bases;
§ carry out the deployment of operational detachments behind enemy lines, as well as organize its exit to the location of its troops by land and air;

§ to create, equip, arm formations from the local population for conducting partisan operations, as well as to carry out their combat training;
§ perform combat missions to a depth of 3,000 km.
United States Special Operations Forces.
Rangers Battalion
The US Army has three Rangers battalions: "black berets" - in the regular troops and two separate companies - in the national guard. The Rangers battalions were administratively organized into the 75th Rangers Infantry Regiment.
The "Rangers" battalion is designed to independently carry out individual reconnaissance and sabotage missions, conduct assault and raid operations behind enemy lines to a depth of up to 500 km.
The main tasks of the battalion "Rangers":
§ carrying out raids in order to disable key facilities and destroy the enemy's nuclear attack weapons (NSA) in its operational-tactical depth;
§ setting up ambushes;
§ seizure of important samples of weapons and military equipment;
§ violation of communication lines;
§ disorganization of the control and communications system, prohibition of the advancing of the second echelons (reserves) of the enemy;
§ obtaining intelligence.
On the basis of the battalion, 10-30 sabotage and assault detachments of the "R" type, each numbering 20-60 people, can be formed. In total, 50-150 sabotage and assault detachments of the "R" type can be created as part of the joint command of the SOF.
Special Forces "Delta"
The Delta Special Forces Detachment is operationally subordinate to the Committee of the Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces. The main purpose of the detachment is to free hostages, fight terrorist groups, kidnap or kill prominent political, government and military figures, seize (evacuate) samples of weapons, military equipment and documents, and perform other sabotage and reconnaissance tasks. The number of personnel of the detachment is about 300 people.
The task force is the main combat unit of the Delta squad. He is armed with the most modern weapons and military equipment(small satellite communication stations, telescopic sniper rifles), as well as poisons, drugs, etc. To perform combat missions, the Delta detachment is capable of deploying 18-20 operational detachments of the "D" type, numbering 16 people each.
Deep reconnaissance company
Deep reconnaissance company - a special unit of military intelligence. Its units are designed to conduct reconnaissance and sabotage activities behind enemy lines.
The main tasks of deep reconnaissance patrols:
§ covert penetration into the location of enemy troops for the purpose of reconnaissance and a report to the command on the deployment of enemy units and formations and the nature of their activities;
§ determining the location of delivery vehicles for nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, nuclear weapons depots, command posts and other important facilities behind enemy lines;
