The article presents the findings of research conducted with the objective of optimizing a training simulation system to align with the requirements for training in units, specifically about conducting small-unit combat operations. The study encompasses the prediction of the core system technology from alternatives, with a particular emphasis on the analysis of the entities necessary for implementation in training. Utilizing multi-criteria analysis, the study retrospectively identifies the optimal platform based on the inherent characteristics of these entities. The data obtained from the quantitative questionnaire and multi-criteria decision-making process is then evaluated and discussed in a broader context. The results of the study constitute a noteworthy data set of over 90 questionnaires processed by a relatively small group of respondents who will become future determinants for the application of simulation technologies for training. The application of a live simulation system was found to be a valuable endeavor, and a comprehensive evaluation of the necessity for the incorporation of 33 distinct simulation entities into the system was conducted. This incorporation is deemed essential to meet the demands of contemporary and effective unit preparation for combat in the drone age, as well as the establishment of numerous contemporary technologies on the new battlefield.

The article aims to describe experimental research into infantry squad pre-combat formations. It focuses on the most used formations, and addresses their advantages and suitability for various tactical situations. A highlighted feature of the experiment is the involvement of units with varying degrees of training as research subjects: from novices through to professional soldiers, from combat squads to instructors of the elite course of the ACR ground forces. The synthesized results can therefore be perceived as having universal validity. For broad-spectrum research of their properties and usability, each formation is evaluated in different terrains and different tactical situations. The presented data are usable in practice for training infantry, motorized airborne units, and in certain cases mechanized forces and combat support units. Research into this area of small-unit tactics is now even more progressive, since a significant number of tasks in conducting combat operations are being transferred to small units. This is at the expense of large troop formations, which are increasingly difficult to use in times of high-precision weapons and hybrid warfare. In certain situations even a small unit can perform tasks with operational ramifications. Moreover, in this area of tactics publications are very rare due to the low scientific interest and the inclusion of information falling under the ‘classified information’ of individual armies. The data presented in the article are set in their broader context, commented upon by the authors of the training, and described with the intention their inclusion in the training of troops.

The paper focuses on the analysis of the current highly dangerous tools of destruction, used mostly by insurgents and terrorists, especially in asymmetric warfare. Vehicles usually loaded with explosives (mostly homemade explosive), driven by suicide bombers are a significant threat to troops and the civilian population, not only in high risk areas. Analysis of the available incidents of this type, and available response to an incident mentioned in this article, it becomes the basic portfolio data for the design of effective elimination or at least reduction of the destructive effect, especially on soft targets.

This work deals with the possibility of increasing the utility properties of the functional part of the weapon by deposition of PVD coating. These coatings are widely known for their high hardness and abrasion resistance without affecting the anti-corrosion properties. The experimental part evaluates the created duplex coating on the piston of the assault rifle Sa vz. 58. Duplex coating adhesion, surface morphology, and coating thickness was evaluated on opto digital microscope Olympus DSX 500. The impact resistance of the coating was evaluated by dynamic impact test. The durability tests of the coatings were carried out during the training of students in the military training. The results showed the application of PVD coating significantly reduced piston head wear and increased user comfort in the form of shortening time of the cleaning and maintenance process after firing.
