LARGE-SCALE AVIATION SYSTEMS WITH UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES - A NEW PARADIGM OF COMBAT OPERATIONS
The article substantiates the need to move from individual combat elements to large-scale formations of heterogeneous combat vehicles based on artificial intelligence technologies for successful combat operations in the XXI century. A set of scientific tasks is described, the solution of which should be put into the creation of next-generation unmanned aircraft systems based on the formulated ideas about the appearance of future combat operations. The main directions of military equipment intellectualization in relation to aviation complexes are considered. The stages of actions on ground targets of a multi-tier unmanned aerial group are presented. An example of setting the target distribution problem when striking an enemy ground grouping is given.
