Tasks of Analysis and Synthesis at the Stages of Designing Systems of Shoot-Cannon Weapons
A systematic approach to design is implemented by solving problems of analysis and synthesis at different stages and steps of design in various combinations. In the design process, there is a constant detailing of the object description. Following the principle of a hierarchy of a systematic approach, the tasks to be solved and the models and criteria used in this case also have a multilevel character and are different at specific design stages. The problems of the formulation and implementation of various typical tasks of the synthesis and analysis of technical systems in the study and design of samples of small arms and cannons are examined using the design of the automation mechanism of small arms as an example. On the example of designing a side gas engine, it is shown that the choice of a particular design criterion for designing a subsystem can lead to deterioration in the functioning of the system as a whole. As a result of the analysis of the sequence and content of the stages of development of the sample, a structural diagram of implementation of system studies in the development of new schemes of automatic weapons or its main mechanisms is proposed. Such a scheme, including research methods and types of models at various stages of design, will be useful to researchers and designers who do not have sufficient work experience.
