One of the main problems encountered in the design of the direction-finding antenna arrays of mobile basing is a problem quite accurate accounting of the impact of carrier on characteristics of the antenna array. It is proposed to consider a fairly simple threeelement design for a circular antenna array and analyze the impact on the direction-finding characteristics of such grid of the mobile carrier as which in this case the unmanned aerial vehicle appears. Comparing of the absolute errors of bearings received by a phase correlative method for a case of finding an antenna array in free space and on the carrier is given.
