Abstract
The range of aircraft is expanding rapidly and it should currently include objects from hypersonic aircraft to small unmanned aerial vehicles. Accordingly, airspace control must be carried out on all types of aircraft. The article discusses the features of radar detection of very complex objects for active location - unmanned aerial vehicles of tactical and operative-tactical level. Their tactical and technical characteristics, design features and tactics of application allow such aircraft to perform combat missions sometimes without detection of the enemy's air defense system. The article discusses the factors and features that contribute to the untimely detection of objects such as unmanned aerial vehicles by radar stations of radio troops or lead to difficulties in their observation. Ways to improve radar surveillance of unmanned aerial vehicles are noted. The analysis of the experience of combat use of unmanned aerial vehicles in the area of the Joint Forces operation is carried out in the east of Ukraine in 2014–2022 the Syrian military conflict, the second Karabakh war of 2020 and the modern Russian-Ukrainian war. There are more important factors that contributed to the effective use of unmanned aerial vehicles. The generalized information of change of features of the military conflicts which were formed thanks to possibilities of unmanned aerial vehicles is resulted. It is shown that modern reconnaissance and combat capabilities of unmanned aerial vehicles are rapidly changing not only the tactics of using weapons and military equipment of the Armed Forces, but also changing the strategy of warfare. Much attention is paid to the analysis of the mass use of unmanned aerial vehicles of various types in the current Russian-Ukrainian military conflict.
Keywords: unmanned aerial vehicle, low-visibility detection, passive interference, radio technical troops.
