For a typical structure of a ground-space radio monitoring system, a method based on statistical physics and information theory is proposed, allowing one to estimate its information efficiency. The approach is detailed for an additive and applicative model of an image of objects in the radio and optical ranges. The derived relationships also allow one to take into account the influence of various algorithms for processing information transmitted via communication channels with interference, reducing the probability of a bit error. The developed methodology and derived relationships will allow developers of radio monitoring systems to fairly accurately qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate the change in its information efficiency when introducing new algorithms for detecting (distinguishing) and classifying objects based on the obtained image assessments, methods for their location, as well as digital algorithms for processing signals when transmitting data to consumers via radio channels.
