This paper presents a rocket flight safety analysis using methods from the internationally recognized standard RCC 321-20 with an emphasis on a suborbital launch from the Polish coast. Currently, several entities are launching (or planning to launch) suborbital rockets and land them in the Baltic sea – and such flights are expected to be performed using more and more capable rockets with increasing launch frequency. While the present approach in Poland is to close a predefined air space, monitor or close the maritime zone to any traffic and ensure that the impact point dispersion of all rocket elements will fit within that restricted area, established and proven methods often take advantage of advanced calculations of flight risk to the public, aircraft and vessels. This paper demonstrates this approach and compares relative rocket or missile flight safety from Poland to other locations frequently used for such exercises. The results of this work may also be beneficial when planning safety measures for military exercises involving missiles.

Celem artykułu jest naświetlenie problemów rozwoju europejskiego przemysłu obronnego oraz prób jego reformowania. Prezentowany tekst został opracowany na podstawie dokumentów Europejskiej Służby Działań Zewnętrznych, w strukturach, których funkcjonują między innymi: Sztab Wojskowy UE oraz Europejska Agencja Obrony. W 2017 roku powołano kilka instytucji, które miały na celu modernizację oraz integrację kilkuset rozproszonych europejskich przedsiębiorstw zbrojeniowych i wyposażenie ich w konkurencyjne technologie. Ważną rolę w tej dziedzinie odgrywają Europejski Fundusz Obrony oraz Roczny Skoordynowany Przegląd Obronny (CARD). W 2022 r. procesy integracyjne w dziedzinie obronności zostały przyspieszone z powodu agresji Rosji przeciwko Ukrainie, a także po przyjęciu nowej strategii bezpieczeństwa Unii Europejskiej zwanej „Kompasem Strategicznym”. Europejska Agencja Obrony opublikowała także rezultaty i wnioski CARD 2022.

PL

Zagrożenie Izraela ostrzałami rakietowymi i moździerzowymi z roku na rok przybiera na sile i skali oddziaływania. Można przyjąć, że ostrzały rakietowe i moździerzowe stały się po zamachach bombowych najgroźniejszą bronią ugrupowań terrorystycznych z Palestyny i Libanu. W tych działaniach prym wiodą dwie największe organizacje terrorystyczne, tj. Hamas i Hezbollah. Wraz z rozwojem tej formy terroryzmu Izrael musiał poprawić skuteczność systemu obronnego, co przełożyło się na skuteczniejszą ochronę ludności cywilnej i obiektów infrastruktury cywilnej i wojskowej przed atakami rakietowymi i moździerzowymi. Zmiany w systemie obronnym wymagały wielu lat pracy, a ich szczególna intensywność przypadła na lata 2006-2012. Dokonane zmiany w systemie bezpieczeństwa przyczyniły się do wykształcenia dwóch form: obrony pasywnej i aktywnej, które są nieustannie modyfikowane i udoskonalane. Celem artykułu było scharakteryzowanie obrony Izraela przed atakami rakietowymi i moździerzowymi wykonywanymi przez ugrupowania terrorystyczne w latach 2001-2012. Przedmiotowo opracowanie ma charakter praktyczny, ponieważ proces badawczy został oparty na faktach i realnych działaniach zrealizowanych przez Izrael, mających ograniczyć wielkość strat wśród ludności cywilnej. Za początek rozważań naukowych przyjęto rok 2001, w którym doszło do pierwszych ostrzałów rakietowych terytorium Izraela.

The threat to Israel from rocket and mortar attacks has been increasing in terms of strength and impact year after year. It can be assumed that rocket and mortar attacks have become the most dangerous weapons used by terrorist groups from Palestine and Lebanon, following suicide bombings. The two largest terrorist organizations, namely Hamas and Hezbollah, play a leading role in these actions. As this form of terrorism evolved, Israel had to improve the effectiveness of its defense system, resulting in a more efficient protection of civilian population and civil and military infrastructure against rocket and mortar attacks. The changes in the defense system required years of work, with a particular intensity during the years 2006-2012. The implemented changes in the security system led to the development of two forms of defense: passive and active, which are constantly modified and improved. The aim of this article was to characterize Israel’s defense against rocket and mortar attacks carried out by terrorist groups in the years 2001-2012. The research conducted for this purpose has a practical nature, as it is based on facts and real actions implemented by Israel to minimize civilian casualties. The analysis begins in 2001 when the first rocket attacks on Israeli territory took place.

Państwowe dokumenty strategiczne powstają w rezultacie określonych procesów, czyli zamierzonego ciągu czynności, zaprojektowanego w celu osiągnięcia sprecyzowanego wyniku. Chcąc, aby powstał jakikolwiek dokument musi pojawić się podmiot, który podejmie decyzję o jego stworzeniu. Nieodłącznym zjawiskiem związanym ze sformalizowaną, stałą i hierarchiczną strukturą organów i instytucji państwa jest też, odzwierciedlająca ten stan rzeczy, hierarchiczna struktura dokumentów państwowych. Tworzenie dokumentów strategicznych jest wyrazem zdolności najwyższych organów kierowniczych danej organizacji do formułowania koncepcji i ich gotowości do podejmowania stosownych działań w dziedzinach ważnych dla istoty jej funkcjonowania. Działania tego rodzaju, ujmowane w skali ogólnych celów, odnoszą się do sposobu wykorzystania wszystkich środków, będących w dyspozycji w dużym horyzoncie czasowym i przestrzennym. Strategie są elementarnym narzędziem do uzyskania zakładanego poziomu rozwoju państwa we wszystkich gałęziach jego funkcjonowania. Przyjęte w strategiach cele stanowią podstawę do uruchomienia procesów planistycznych i określenia możliwości ich osiągnięcia w zakładanym czasie. W państwie działanie strategiczne jest domeną osób wchodzących w skład najwyższych władz lub decydentów mających uprawnienia do działania w określonej dziedzinie jego aktywności. W opracowanym artykule zostanie podjęty wysiłek opisania złożonej materii narodowych dokumentów strategiczno-planistycznych, ściśle powiązanych lub wprost wynikających ze strategii bezpieczeństwa narodowego. Poddane analizie dokumenty, wyznaczają ramy i kierunki rozwoju bezpieczeństwa narodowego, a także ich dokumenty wykonawcze. Do dokumentów wykonawczych autor zaliczył Polityczno-Strategiczną Dyrektywę Obronną Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej i Plan Reagowania Obronnego Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej oraz plany niższych szczebli. Zapoznanie się z krótką analizą omawianych dokumentów pozwoli na pozyskanie podstawowej wiedzę i zrozumieniu procesów związanych z rozwojem, planowaniem i reagowaniem, a także zobrazuje znaczący wpływ na przeciwdziałanie zagrożeniom militarnym i niemilitarnym.

State strategic documents are produced as a result of specific processes, an intended sequence of activities, designed to achieve a specific result. In order for any document to be created, there must be an entity that will make the decision to create it. An inherent phenomenon related to the formalized, permanent and hierarchical structure of state organs and institutions is also the hierarchical structure of state documents that reflects this state of affairs. The creation of strategic documents is an expression of the ability of the highest management bodies of a given organization to formulate concepts and their readiness to take appropriate actions in areas important for the essence of its operation. Actions of this type, when captured in the scale of general goals, relate to the way of using all resources at the disposal in a large time and spatial horizon. Strategies are an essential tool to achieve the assumed level of the state’s development in all branches of its functioning. The aims adopted in the strategies constitute the basis for launching planning proccesses and determining the possibility achieving them within the assumed time. In a state, strategic action is the domain of the highest authorities or decision-makers authorized to act in a specific area of its activity. In the article, an effort will be made to describe the complex matter of national strategic and planning documents, closely related or directly resulting from the national security strategy. The analyzed documents set the framework and directions for the development of national security, as well as their executive documents. The executive documents include the Political and Strategic Defense Directive of the Republic of Poland and the Defense Response Plan of the Republic of Poland, as well as lower-level plans. Getting acquainted with a short analysis of the discussed documents will allow you to acquire basic knowledge and understanding of the processes related to development, planning and response, as well as illustrate a significant impact on counteracting military and non-military threats.

This study proposes an alternative (i.e., air-assisted) system for launching payloads (micro-satellites) into space using rockets fired from Su-22 or MiG-29 combat aircraft . This paper verifies and evaluates such an air-assisted rocket system used for launching payloads to low Earth orbit (LEO) in many aspects. Mission profile and rocket drop maneuver concepts have been developed. From the adopted model of calculations and simulation results, it follows that in the considered configuration, the aforementioned aircraft will be capable of accomplishing a mission in which a payload of at least 10 kg is launched into low Earth orbit. The analyses were complemented by simulations and wind tunnel tests verifying the impact that space rockets may exert on the aerodynamic and mechanical properties of the carrier aircraft . Results of numerical simulations and wind tunnel tests to which models of the air-assisted rocket launching system were subjected indicate the rocket’s impact on the aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft and its in-flight properties is negligible. Similarly, load and strength tests to which the airframe’s load-bearing structures have been subjected also failed to show any significant changes or deformations caused by the space rockets attached. The kits proposed may be deemed as the so-called Responsive Space Assets for the Polish Armed Forces. Implementation of such a system not only offers independence from countries or commercial companies providing space services but also allows us to master new capabilities in the context of deploying satellite systems for safety and defense purposes.

This paper deals with military mobility, which in recent years has become one of the strategic priorities for both the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the European Union (EU). The authors argue that the ability to quickly transport soldiers and military equipment over long distances across member states’ territories is a prerequisite for an effective and rapid military response by the allies. An analysis of the achievements to date shows that the European Union is one of the key actors in identifying and eliminating existing barriers and initiating necessary infrastructure construction. Simultaneously, close cooperation with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in this area allows the parties involved to achieve synergies. This paper analyzes the results achieved in the light of the assumed objectives. Simultaneously, elements that hinder military mobility and perspectives of the development of the studied issue are indicated.

Over the last two decades, China and Russia have been developing Anti-Access/Area-Denial (A2/AD) systems Mainly based on long range Air Defense, ballistic and cruise missiles, supported by Electronic Warfare and cyberattack capabilities. Initially, these systems were used for defense purposes, but over time it was recognized they could be also applied for imposing military situation in the specific regions and create effective response to NATO countries and their concept of conducting military operations. The main aim of the article is to asses and present the impact of Chinese and Russian Anti-Access/Area-Denial (A2/AD) systems on changes in global political relations and balance of military power. In the course of this study, the author used numerous analyzes, synthesis, comparisons and case studies methods mainly concentrated on presently operating A2/AD systems. This article undertakes the analysis of the Chinese bases located in the South China Sea and Djibouti, Russian A2/AD systems within Russia's borders with particular emphasis on Kaliningrad Oblast, and A2/AD systems in Crimea and Syria created as part of Russian military operations. This research allowed us to conclude that some of the A2/AD systems serve to defend borders, while the rest are created to influence the geopolitical and military situation or to gain an advantage in the area of military operations. It can be also evaluate that the use of these systems allow dominate future conflicts because they enable to establish a full control zones which are completely closed for opponents forces operations.

This article presents the results of research that set out to identify and characterize the challenges and threats to international security posed by the use of hypersonic weapons. The research process mainly employed the critical assessment of the literature, systemic and comparative analyses and generalization. As a result of the research, it was established that hypersonic weapons are an indispensable tool in the conducting of international competition by the Russian Federation and can be treated on par with nuclear weapons. Due to its attributes, it meets the criteria of an offensive weapon and poses certain uncertainties and real threats to the international security environment mainly because, so far, the capabilities to intercept and destroy it in the active phase of flight to the target has not been acquired. The Russian Federation considers hypersonic weapons as an excellent tool for applying pressure and aggression, allowing it to conduct international competition in the gray zone and achieve foreign policy objectives without the need for direct military confrontation. Due to its ability to cause almost immediate operational and strategic effects, it accelerates the dynamics of conflict escalation and rapidly affects the transition from a state of stability to international instability. It cannot be ruled out that in the third decade of the 21st century hypersonic weapons may be the key element determining the Russian Federation's achievement of global dominance.

The aim of this study is to identify a drone swarm’s capabilities and the key factors influencing its employment in military operations. The research takes the quantitative analysis of scientific literature related to the technical and operational utilization of drones. The use of drones for military purposes in contemporary world is widespread. They conduct dull, dirty, dangerous and deep military operations replacing manned aviation in many areas. Progressive technological development including artificial intelligence and machine learning allows for the use of military drones in the form of a swarm. It is a quite new technology at the beginning of development. The study indicates that the capabilities of a drone swarm based on communication within the group and autonomy differentiate it from the typical use of unmanned aircraft. Size, diversity, self-configurability and self-perfection amongst the others indicated in literature are attributes of a drone swarm which may give advantage in military operation comparing to the classic use of unmanned aircraft. Emergent coordination as a command and control model of a drone swarm is a future way of utilizing that technology in military operations. In the future, a drone swarm will be a cheaper equivalent of advanced and much more expensive weapon systems conducting combat operations.
