SUMMARY
When designing automated systems for command and control of troops and weapons, an important role is given to the form and volume of information transmitted information. Information in the control loop comes from sensors that make up the monitoring system and continuously monitor the sources and objects of monitoring.The control and communication system of a group object of radio monitoring is a complex hierarchical structure. The number of sources that operate in the interests of providing a control system exceeds the number of available forces and means that carry out radio monitoring. There is a discrepancy in the recognition of objects and sources of radio monitoring: identification of the object of observation, the number of signs. Therefore, it is necessary to solve the multicriteria optimization problem for identifying the operating mode of radio monitoring sources for guaranteed determination of the state of the control system and communication of the group object of radio monitoring, which consists in choosing those sources whose utility is greatest.The proposed methodology for the rational distribution of information in automated control systems by troops and weapons, by selecting the most important sources of radio monitoring and rationalizing the number of gradations of radio monitoring objects to ensure a given probability of correct recognition and guaranteed determination of their condition.
