Abstract: The development of weapons and military equipment (WME) represents a result of improving their subsystems. If the position of a subsystem on the evolutionary development line is determined, it is possible to give a prognosis of the further development of WME resources and formulate contradictions that hinder this process. When the problem is solved at the level of the technical contradiction, the optimisation of the technical system (TS) is achieved. When the problem is solved at the level of the physical contradiction, the idealization of the TS is achieved. The law of idealization is used as a powerful tool in a methodology known as the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ, rus.). Two possible ways of achieving ideality are described in this paper. Therby, the process of expansion flows at the level of WME, i.e. the idealization of another type; and the reduction proces flows at the subsystem level, i.e. idealization of the first type. This paper comprises the calculation of the ideality of the protective filtration suit (PFS) in the final stage of its  development. On the basis of the given example, the ideality of any WME item can be calculated at every stage of its life cycle.

Keywords: ideality, TRIZ, weaponry, military equipment.
