personnel weapons, is, as has been shown, a complex military system that contains a
number of both types of weapons of the same type and different types of weapons and
armament control subsystems. It can be predicted that the presence of such a subsystem
will give SITSAS a new synergistic property, which will manifest itself in increasing
the combat capabilities of the complex compared to a simple set of weapons.
A necessary condition for the functioning of SITSAS is the finding of its
components in a single information space of a specified zone (district).
Integration of heterogeneous constituents is carried out in a matrix manner in the
form of an information-control system. Communication matrix is formed by a
combination of all means and systems of satellite, radio and wire communication. The
synthesis of the SITSAS and the communication matrix configuration is carried out by
the specialized center of operational control (CCS) by means and means with a
complex of means of automation with an open architecture

. The open
architecture of the complex of automation means provides unification of the process of
application of the CCS, gives an opportunity to increase its capabilities, SITSAS in
general.
CCS implements a network-centric concept of management of various types of
forces and means. The CCS automation complex should provide the SITSAS (CO and
HQ) management authority with the ability to operate on the basis of constantly
updated data on the situation. The management body, together with the senior
management body, provides dynamic planning that ensures the rational use, targeting
and re-targeting of intelligence

complex.
However, at present practical implementation of such complexes requires solving
a number of issues of a methodological, organizational and technical nature. First of
all, this concerns the further development and improvement of the management theory,
especially in terms of the organization of managerial processes, the development of
information and cybernetic cycles of SITSAS, implemented by means of CCS. The
military operation of NATO in Yugoslavia against the Slobodan Milosevic’s regime is
an example of effective use of capabilities, with elements of integrated intelligence and
high-precision weapons.
CONCLUSION
Thus, an analysis of the characteristics and the main striking factors of wars and
armed conflicts of the present and predicted future has shown that the number of threats
to civilians and risks to life in irregular conflicts tends to increase.
The kinetic effects remain to be the main causes of death of civilians. However,
there is a steady tendency of victims from information impacts. The main channels of
information impact are realized through the cyber space.
