Improved mathematical model management of the combat applying of the joint aviation group of manned and unmanned aviation

Abstract

The rate of development of aviation technology pushes the leadership of the armed forces of the leading countries of the world to theoretical justification and practical development of the issues of joint usage of manned and unmanned aircraft in a single combat order. Today, the main goal of research into the joint usage of manned and unmanned aerial vehicles is to increase the effectiveness of combat missions and aviation actions in order to simultaneously ensure the reduction of the risk of loss of crews and expensive manned aircraft and reduce the material costs for the operation and maintenance of manned aircraft. To achieve this goal, unmanned aviation complexes operating in joint battle formations of manned and unmanned aviation are involved in the performance of the specified tasks. The analysis of the results of research and publications shows that significant attention is paid to the scientific and practical issues of analyzing the experience of application, prospects for the development of unmanned aerial vehicles as an element of modern intelligence and defeat systems in modern armed conflicts. At the same time, it can be argued that, theoretically, there is a need to generalize the leading experience and features of the usage of unmanned aerial vehicles to solve combat tasks, in particular together with manned aviation. in the conditions of economic difficulties and limited funding of the armed forces of Ukraine, it is the massive usage of unmanned aerial vehicles, as a significantly cheaper weapon, that will allow the task to be performed at the appropriate level.
The article presents an improved mathematical model for managing the combat use of manned and unmanned aircraft during their joint actions, which takes into account the indicators of the average time of the management cycle of a joint aviation group, the level of situational awareness of the group commander, the level of entropy of target coordinates, the level of training of officials involved in management combat flight of the joint aviation group, the probability of failure to suppress the control system of the joint aviation group by means of the enemy's electronic warfare. A mathematical model is a description of the indicators of the effectiveness of managing the combat use of a joint aviation group, which are needed to improve the effectiveness of the combat mission. The improved mathematical model allows to evaluate the effectiveness of managing the combat use of a joint aviation group and can become the basis for the methodology for evaluating the effectiveness of managing manned and unmanned aircraft during their joint combat use.
