Analysis of the criteria-optimization problem in evaluation of the suitability degree during aviation medical examination of unmanned aviation complexes’ pilots to perform their duties

Abstract

Introduction.  An important place in the reliability of the unmanned aviation complexes (UAC) pilot belongs to psychophysiological training, since during the operation of modern technology acutely arises issues of a psychophysiological barrier, the reasons for which lies in psychophysiological capabilities and time factors released to decision making. This indicates the need to find new methodological approaches to adequate use of human potential, taking into account the specifics of the external pilot of UAC.

Purpose.  Compregensive analysis of the criteria-optimization problem in evaluation of the suitability degree during aviation medical examination of unmanned aviation complexes’ pilots to perform their duties unfailingly .

Materials and methods.  Bibysmantical, historical, structual-logical and system approach have been used.

Results.  In Ukraine, compere with other countries, the use of UAC has a limited character.  Unfortunately, there is still no state program for the development and operation of UAC so there is no general strategy for the development of unmanned aviation, there is a certain confusion in the technical and permit documentation, terminology, the problems of preparation and selection of operators remain unsolved. The complexity of UAC using and a variety of tasks implemented with their help, determine the widest range of requirements for professional preparedness of operators that control such aviation complexes.  Practice shows that ensuring the reliability of operators of UAC and the success of their purpose by appointment should be implemented from the stage of professional selection of candidates for training in the relevant specialty.  It is a high-quality scientifically substantiated and methodically secured occupational selection will allow to avoid significant financial and temporal costs for training professionally non-suitable specialists, reduce the loss of high-speed UAC and prevent the creation of precedents of dangers from unprofessional operation of the given technique.  All of the above updates the necessity of qualitative implementation of occupational selection of candidates for positions of operators (external pilots) of unmanned aviation complexes of tactical classes for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other power structures of our country. An important condition for the proof and analysis of the effectiveness of special training is the study of psychological readiness, namely: individual-psychological and psychophysiological features of UAC operators.  Thus, one of the primary tasks in the preparation of specialists in this engineering is the development of a diagnostic tool for the study of readiness for professional activity.

Conclusions. Despite the study of individual issues, the problem of a comprehensive assessment, from the position of a systematic approach to occupational health, including conditions, reasons and economic consequences of the incidence of operators, was investigated. As a result of system-structural analysis it was found factors, conditions and reasons that determine the occupational health of the external pilot will allow comprehensive representation of its health, which is extremely necessary to develop a set of measures to optimize medical support and maintaining the healthy external pilots. Taking into account that since the beginning of 2020 in the Armed Forces of Ukraine the work on the acquisition of doctrinal interoperability with NATO member states continues to develop criteria for evaluation of the suitability degree during aviation medical examination of unmanned aviation complexes’ pilots to perform their duties.
