The use of large dense groups of UAVs in solving economic and military problems is increasingly used. When solving these problems, it is necessary to form managements that ensure: assemble the group with the construction of the required topology; management of each UAV in the framework of solving a common problem and preventing collisions in a group. The solution of these problems can be obtained on the basis of two approaches. The first – the traditional one – is based on the consideration of the UAV group as an aggregate of individual participants, for each of which management is formed, providing both the solution of the common task and the prevention of collisions within the group. The second – fundamentally new – is based on the consideration of a group of UAVs as a system with distributed parameters. Preliminary studies have shown the possibility of using this approach to solving the problem of managing large groups of UAVs. However, to determine all the possibilities of this approach, additional theoretical and applied research is required.
