Within the framework of the increasing role of group confrontation in the aerospace sphere, both means of attack and means of defense, the task of destroying individual (priority) aircraft as part of a dense group is becoming increasingly in demand. However, to solve it, it is necessary to solve two subtasks: to ensure the resolution of targets in the group and to carry out high-precision targeting of the selected target.

A promising direction for the joint solution of these subtasks is the use of the so-called trajectory control of observation. The essence of this direction consists in the formation of such a flight path, which in the initial section provides high resolution due to the implementation of Doppler sharpening of the beam, and in the final one – minimizing the miss when pointing at a specific target.

The article considers one of the possible solutions to this problem based on the control law synthesized according to the rules of local optimization based on the mathematical apparatus of the statistical theory of optimal control.

The conducted studies have confirmed the possibility of solving the problem of individual targeting as part of a dense group based on non-stationary targeting methods.
