Autonomic logistics system of intelligent military motor vehicles

The paper presents a concept of autonomic logistics system of intelligent military motor vehicles. A classification of vehicles and a definition of intelligent motor vehicles has been provided. The intelligent motor vehicle distinguishes the functional components systems and the integrated control system. The integrated system has been defined to control the intelligent motor vehicles, including subsystems of: data identification, information-and-decision-making and executive components. The data identification subsystem distinguishes the following components: logistic about the state of environment, navigation, and communications. The automatic logistic system consists of the following subsystems: diagnostic, operational, security, and power supply. The purpose and tasks of those subsystems have been examined. The information and decision-making subsystem has been defined: classic, expertise, and hybrid. Tasks of the vehicle setting components subsystem have been defined. A place of autonomic logistic system in the structure of the military motor vehicle has been determined. The development of a design and the implementation of the proposed concept of the autonomic logistic system will significantly increase the performance properties of military motor vehicles in aspect of effective execution of their combat missions.
