Abstract
Abstract One of the most important problems associated with the combat use of unmanned aerial vehicles remains to ensure their high survivability in conditions of deliberate countermeasures, the source of which can be both ground-based air defence systems and fighter aircraft. For this reason, the study and optimization of evasive manoeuvres of an unmanned aerial vehicle from an enemy aircraft attack remains relevant. Based on the game approach, the authors of this paper propose an algorithm for guaranteeing control of the trajectory of an unmanned aerial vehicle, which ensures its evasion from an enemy air attack. The study of the influence of tactically significant indicators of the manoeuvrability of an unmanned aerial vehicle on the effectiveness of the evasion manoeuvre was carried out. The model predictions are presented, reflecting the degree of influence of unmanned aerial vehicle manoeuvring capabilities on achieving a positional advantage when solving the problem of evading air enemy attack.

In relation to the situation under consideration, we introduce the following notation: R(t) = (Xa, Ya, Za, Vxa, Vya, Vza)T, S(t) = (︀Xb, Yb, Zb, Vxb, Vyb, Vzb)︀T – respectively, the current state vectors of the evading UAV and the UAV-interceptor in the starting coordinate system OXYZ, “tied” to the departure aerodrome
Summary
An analysis of the current state and prospects for the development of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) clearly indicates that, in terms of their technical and functional capabil-Note that work on development of unmanned fighters capable of searching for enemy UAVs with their subsequent destruction is actively carried out all over the world. A wellknown example of an unmanned interceptor is the “Peregrine UAV Killer”, which is being created by the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The task of this device is to patrol designated area and search for enemy UAVs, with their subsequent destruction. The patent [3] presents an unmanned aerial vehicle designed to intercept and destroy air targets. It is a VTOL aircraft made according to the canard configuration, with fuselage, a trapezoidal wing with two tractive propellers placed on it, a front all-moving horizontal tail and two fins with rotable rudders. There is a useful load in the fuselage, which is a small-arms system located along an axis passing through the mass centre of an aircraft, due to which stable movement is ensured during guidance and firing
