Analysis of ways and means of counteracting unmanned aerial vehicles and areas for their improvement
Abstract
Purpose: substantiation of the expediency of using engineered fragmentation explosive devices of directed action to defeat low-speed, low-flying unmanned aerial vehicles based on the analysis of existing methods and means of countering unmanned aerial vehicles.
Research method: analysis.
Results of the study: The article analyses the means of counteracting unmanned aerial vehicles used in armed conflicts today, provides characteristics of promising models of systems for combating unmanned aerial vehicles, and outlines research areas for creating a system for protecting troops and facilities from low-flying targets using engineered munitions.
Theoretical value of the research: based on the results of the study, a list of tasks was formed for the structure of the system for detecting and defeating low-flying targets such as unmanned aerial vehicles using engineered fragmentation munitions.
Type of article: scientific and theoretical.
