FORMING THE CONCEPT OF STRIKE UNMANNED AERIAL COMPLEX TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE FORECASTED RADIOELECTRONIC COVERAGE OF THE OBJECT FROM AIR STRIKES

According to the analysis of trends in the development of armed struggle regarding the use of reconnaissance-strike (fire) unmanned aerial complexes and their effectiveness in conditions of electronic warfare, the necessity of improving the scientifically grounded procedure for the formation of the plan of such weapon systems and military equipment has been demonstrated, taking into account the projected electronic protection of the object from air strikes. A direct dependence of the effectiveness of strike (reconnaissance-strike) unmanned aerial systems on the enemy's capabilities for radio-electronic protection of designated targets against aerial reconnaissance and precision strikes from the air has been established, which is determined by the characteristics of electronic warfare systems. The proposed indicator is the zone of electronic coverage of the ground object, which allows for a predictable indirect assessment of the spatial capabilities of the unmanned aerial complex for delivering precision strikes from the air on specified objects. An example is provided for the procedure of determining such a zone using the graphical analytical method based on projected spatial indicators (range, altitude), which depend on the energy characteristics of the corresponding radio electronic means of the unmanned aerial complex and the sample of electronic warfare equipment. It has been proposed to use the indicator of the opponent's capabilities regarding electronic countermeasures against airstrikes when preparing data for the formation of the 'concept' of the reconnaissance-strike complex, as a set of unmanned interference-resistant means based on the analysis of trends in the development of armed struggle.
