The impact of the Tactical Operations System (TOS) on the procedures, personnel, and skill requirements for affected staff elements at Army division main and tactical command posts is discussed on an element by element basis. Changes to the current TOS design that would enhance its usefulness to staff users in each element are identified and defined. The material is useful for determining TOS training requirements at the Army division level and providing the rationale for detailed investigation of the feasibility and utility of proposed system enhancements.

Floating debris is a continual problem for all users of water bodies. It is destructive to locks, dams, bridges, electric plants, municipal water systems, and even recreational boaters. Wetlands, fish-spawning grounds, and streambanks can be disturbed by debris. This report contains a summary of the various methods for collecting, controlling, removing, and disposing of floating debris. Keywords: Debris booms; Debris and ice deflectors; Debris disposal; Debris transport; Removal equipment; Trash rakes.

Rationale for the Development of the Full Time Graduate Programme in Fluid Control Systems and Elements

This article examines the widespread introduction of artificial intelligence technologies, means of their implementation and support as a determining factor in the development of scientific and technological progress. On this basis, various advanced objects of various functional purposes are created, which are characterized as “smart”. Their distinguishing feature is the ability to implement a “reasonable” way of functioning, taking into account the prevailing circumstances. This ability is expressed in the fact that in the object automatically, i.e., without human participation, or with minimal human participation, the most rational or optimal modes of functioning are supported, the definition of which involves the performance of operations containing signs of rational activity. This “smart” behavior of technical objects is mainly determined by the “intelligent” functioning of the control systems built into them. In particular, intelligent automated systems for optimal control. In accordance with this, the development of new approaches and methods that expand the possibilities of building such control systems should be considered as an urgent and priority task.
