SYSTEMS OF RADIO-ELECTRONIC FIGHT AGAINST PILOTLESS VEHICLES MULTIROTOR TYPE IN DISTRICTS OF CONDUCT BATTLE ACTIONS

Abstract

In modern warfare, the information component is crucial for both sides of the conflict. Donetsk and Luhansk regions have become a kind of bridgehead for testing and application in the operation of unmanned aerial vehicles of various dimensions and functional purposes, the most common of which are small reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles. Dozens of enemy vehicles are gathering information about the location of the Ukrainian military. To date, no state is ready to withstand planned attacks by unmanned aerial vehicles. Traditional air defense weapons are designed for large and long-range targets, while the modern line of drones consists of nano-, micro- and mini-devices flying at low altitudes. A comparative analysis of modern means of counteracting unmanned aerial vehicles and conclusions about the possibility of their use in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The newest means of destruction of unmanned aerial vehicles of the leading countries of the world are considered. The issue of the possibility of blocking the work of enemy drones is covered in zones (areas) of hostilities. Ways to increase the effectiveness of small - scale unmanned aerial vehicles are proposed. Priorities in the implementation of programs for the development of modern domestic means of destruction of unmanned aerial vehicles can be considered the use of means of interception or destruction by electronic countermeasures. The relevance of the study lies in the analysis of the main available methods of control with unmanned aerial vehicles, development of perspective approaches and acquaintance with modern achievements and directions of development of means of struggle against drones applied by the enemy.
