Synopsis

The relevance of the issues highlighted in this section is primarily related to the insufficiency of research on the development of asymmetric means of combat at sea in the conditions of overwhelming enemy forces, first of all, maritime unmanned systems (apparatus) and unmanned aircraft systems, as well as peculiarities of managing their creation and development.

The experience of combat operations at sea during the Russian-Ukrainian war proved that thanks to the use of modern technologies, Ukraine was able to turn the tide of the war in the Black Sea and dislodge the Russian Black Sea Fleet from the occupied Crimea. Using maritime unmanned systems (apparatus) and unmanned aircraft systems in the strike version, the Defense Forces of Ukraine destroyed or damaged more than (about three) two dozen enemy ships and boats, as well as damaged a number of port facilities. At the same time, before the beginning of the full-scale aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, the development of unmanned maritime systems (apparatus) was not foreseen at all. The first samples of these complexes were created only in the summer of 2022 on an initiative basis, and already in November of the same year, the creation of the world's first "fleet of maritime (sea) drones" was announced. And if at the initial stage their development took place decentralized, by the efforts of various departments, in the version of "unmanned brander", then in the future complexes with various weapons (reactive volley fire systems, sea mines, etc.) were developed, and the range of their tasks expanded significantly. Therefore, for the more effective development and use of maritime unmanned systems (apparatus), there was a need to create a separate type of troops within the Armed Forces of Ukraine with corresponding functions – the Forces of unmanned systems.

The object of research is maritime robotic systems. The subject of research is the development of maritime robotic systems in the interests of performing tasks with the Defense Forces of Ukraine. The results of analytical research on the development of maritime robotic systems, primarily maritime unmanned systems (apparatus), are highlighted, which made it possible to identify trends and directions for their further development, as well as to identify the peculiarities of managing their creation and development.
