A new numerical method for calculating weather conditions has been developed for airborne radar systems for Arctic purposes. Based on the numerical method obtained in the study, software was developed that takes into account various models of electromagnetic wave propagation in various weather conditions. The results of calculations for estimating the detection range of dangerous weather conditions are presented. This assessment indicates that the threshold for detecting adverse weather conditions can be reduced. The basis for lowering the threshold without deteriorating the resulting probabilities of correct detection and false alarm is the fact that the occurrence of cases of false detection is possible only when a certain total extent of difficult weather conditions is reached, which can already be considered dangerous for the flight. The features of the formation of reflected signals from Arctic rain clouds, turbulence over a snowy desert and wind shear are considered. It is shown that all of them are characterized by lower radar reflectivity, therefore the resulting detection ranges are less than those that can be obtained at more southern latitudes, but at the same time they are sufficient for the navigation of UAVs or small aircraft.

Enterprises of the fuel and energy sector, in search of new environmentally safe and economically feasible processes, are introducing membrane technologies into the water treatment system. The main advantages of these methods are: technological simplicity of design, minimal use of chemical reagents, absence of phase transitions and neutrality of wastewater. But despite the rather significant advantages, the use of these processes for a long time can be aggravated by seasonal changes in the quality of natural water in the water source. In this paper, an analysis of the reverse osmosis plant was carried out based on the results of laboratory experiments on water quality indicators at the inlet to the plant and permeate. The average results for each indicator for the entire time of the experiment are also presented.

The problem of vulnerabilities in the Robot Operating System (ROS) operating system when implementing a multi-agent system based on the Turtlebot3 robot is considered. ROS provides powerful tools for communication and data exchange between various components of the system. However, when exchanging data between Turtlebot3 robots, vulnerabilities may arise that can be used by attackers for unauthorized access or attacks on the system. One of the possible vulnerabilities is the interception and substitution of data between robots. An attacker can intercept the data, change it and resend it, which can lead to unpredictable consequences. Another possible vulnerability is unauthorized access to the commands and control of Turtlebot3 robots, which can lead to loss of control over the system. To solve these vulnerabilities, methods of protection against possible security threats arising during the operation of these systems have been developed and presented.

Among the vast range of tasks that modern advanced video surveillance systems face, the dominant position is occupied by the task of tracing various objects in the video stream, which is one of the fundamental problems in the field of video analytics. Numerous studies have shown that, despite the dynamism of processes in the field of information technology and the introduction of various tools and methods, the task of object maintenance still remains relevant and requires further improvement of previously developed algorithms in order to eliminate some inherent disadvantages of these algorithms, systematization of techniques and methods and the development of new systems and approaches. The presented article describes the process of step-by-step development of an algorithm for tracking human movements in a video stream based on the analysis of color groups. The key stages of this algorithm are: the selection of certain frames when dividing the video stream, the selection of the object under study, which is further subjected to a digital processing procedure, the basis of which is to obtain information about color groups, their average values and percentages of their occupancy relative to the object under study. This information is used for the procedure of searching, detecting and recognizing the selected object with an additional function of predicting the direction of movement on video frames, the result of which is the formation of the entire picture of the movement of the person under study. The materials presented in this paper may be of interest to specialists whose research focuses on issues related to the automated acquisition of certain data in the analysis of various images and videos.
