The construction of water crossings constitutes one of the fundamental tasks of military engineering units. Under combat conditions, such operations are frequently required to be executed within timelines measured in hours. This tempo is enabled by ribbon pontoon bridge systems. Four main structural design concepts can be distinguished among these systems. This paper presents the results of an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) analysis applied to the problem of selecting among this four design concepts, taking into account two distinct profiles of water obstacles.

This study addresses the issue of last-mile logistics tasks, particularly in areas inaccessible to conventional military vehicles. As a solution, the use of a homogeneous system composed of Unmanned Ground Vehicles is proposed. Ten UGVs (seven wheeled and three tracked) were selected and subsequently evaluated based on their primary parameters in order to identify the most suitable solution for implementation within such a system. The assessment was conducted using two methods: direct comparison of the UGVs with respect to the values of individual parameters, combined with the assignment of ranking scores, and the application of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP).

In contemporary conflicts the IED and mines threats are growing. In paper the concept of using engineer robots in counter IED operation are described. To fulfil this analyses the cooperation between varied class robots are proposed.

Military operation in rough terrain are very often conducted as dismounted operation. In this condition the logistic support is very problematic because all equipment is carried by soldier. It reduces the mobility and agility of troops. In the paper the demand for supporting dismounted operation UGV are described and concept of robot’s solutions are presented.
