The paper examines the principles of constructing a low-base multi-position radar to provide the possibility of route tracking of a swarm of drones. The principles of constructing a swarm of drones are considered, and possible ranges of distances between drones in a swarm are determined. The work shows that a classic single-position radar cannot provide separate observation of drones in a swarm. The paper substantiates the choice of the type of ultra-wideband probing signal, carries out a measurement of the radar cross-section of drone and describes the layout of the measurement setup. The obtained data are used to assess the energy potential of a small-baseline multi-position radar. An analysis of the accuracy of determining target coordinates is carried out and the required spacing of receiving positions is calculated. The simulation results show that the concept of constructing a small-base multi-position radar has its advantages over the classical version of constructing a multi-position radar, i.e. the number of required receiving positions to eliminate false signals is reduced.
