The problems of implementing the group use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for military purposes - a promising format for ensuring a high probability of completing assigned combat missions in conditions of active enemy opposition is discussed in the article. In this article, group application is understood as compatible, clearly coordinated with respect to the purpose of operation of several UAVs, possibly with different flight and technical characteristics, specialization, trajectories of movement. Group application is the most common format of UAV application. It also includes the use of combat formations of UAVs. The formation of control over a group of military UAVs is considered as a stochastic optimization problem under conditions of counteraction and a priori uncertainty. The functioning of a military UAV group is considered in the system “UAV group – enemy countermeasures – target of use – environment”. The purpose of the article is to present the results of the authors' assessment of the prospects for an applied solution to the task of forming a group of military-purpose UAVs. The basic patterns of functioning of a group of UAVs as a control object are considered without specifying the flight and technical properties of the vehicles, types of combat missions, conditions of combat use, characteristics of enemy countermeasures. The possibility of forming control for the group use of military UAVs is analyzed within the framework of the main methodological approaches: the use of linearized models and hierarchical centralized structures of control formation, the use of new information technologies and artificial intelligence technologies. The main results of implementing control over the group use of UAVs obtained within the framework of these approaches are analyzed. Important shortcomings and limitations of the considered approaches to forming control over a group of UAVs for military purposes are highlighted. The prospects for combining different methods to build an adequate control system for the group use of military UAVs are substantiated.
