BMSTU SM M5 Department

Our department trains specialists in the field of system engineering and electric circuit engineering. Our specialists carry out research work in the development of autonomous information and control systems (AICS). AICS are widely used in military systems, avionics, space technology, medicine, transport etc.

AICS perform detection, recognition and processing of video, acoustic, and radar information obtained via different sensors. They also develop controlling excitations for actuators.

1. Specialists in radio direction finding AICS deal with the systems which perform detection, recognition, filtration and measurement of radio signal parameters. These systems are characterized by high speed of response and operation within highly distributed conditions.

2. Specialists on signal processing sections in AICS, disturbances and signal information features. Neural network technique is applied for the development of signal processing algorithms.

3. Specialists on autonomous mechatronic control systems deal with complex objects containing microprocessor devices, information processing modules and blocks controlling excitation. In such devices electronic and mechanic components are integrated with computer ones.

It should be noted that our engineers are capable of developing mathematical models for real-life designs. Specialists create fast algorithms and software for automatic control of the objects operating within extreme conditions. For example, they are used in automatic spacecraft docking and landing, control of complex manufacturing processes, medical and technical diagnostics.

Detonation fuze is regarded as an automatic controlling device intended to be used for weapon activation in a special point of trajectory. Besides, it processes all properties of information - measuring and control system. Thus, the intelligent detonation fuze is able to perceive information due to signal processing according to a special algorithm.
