METHODICAL APPROACH TO THE FORMATION OF THE IDEA OF THE RECONNAISSANCE AND STRIKE COMPLEX BASED ON THE RESULTS OF THE ANALYSIS OF THE TREND OF ARMED STRUGGLE

The experience of conducting hostilities during the large-scale aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine confirms the interdependence of the processes of development of means (samples, complexes, systems) of destruction and means of combating them. There is a steady increase in the combat effectiveness and importance of reconnaissance and strike (reconnaissance and fire) complexes, which include unmanned aerial systems, as well as electronic warfare techniques, the use of which reduces their effectiveness. The article analyzes the features of the modern armed struggle regarding the use of reconnaissance and strike (fire) unmanned aerial systems and their effectiveness in the conditions of electronic warfare. With this in mind, the authors proposed a methodical approach to the procedure for preparing initial data for the formation of variants of the generalized composition of the reconnaissance and strike unmanned aerial system, which is a set of interference-resistant unmanned vehicles. We propose to create a reconnaissance and strike unmanned aerial vehicle system on the basis of units of attack unmanned aerial vehicles as an organizational and technical association of samples of unmanned aerial vehicles for reconnaissance, targeting, guidance and destruction, which allow to comprehensively solve the problems of detection, identification and operational destruction of targets. For independent performance of tasks, we consider it as a set of functionally related models of weapons and military equipment: unmanned aerial vehicles, control and adjustment stations, launch and landing facilities, as well as software and hardware for managing combat use. The application of the developed procedure makes it possible to obtain reference options and form the technical outline of the reconnaissance and strike unmanned aerial system, as a qualitatively new model of weapons and military equipment.
