Solution of the dynamic problem of countering UAS attacks

Formulation of the problem. This paper considers system approach used for resolving the problem of countering UAS attacks. The authors tried to describe dynamically system factors related to funding or producing UAS and other air weapons. The study is based on varying the character of interactions which were introduced in 1915 and 1916 and which, according to authors, more adequately describe interactions of counter forces in modern wars.

The aim of the study was to compare two simulation models which differ in military UAS factories allocations and to analyze the results. The mathematical model for this problem is presented in the paper.

Results. The core of the models is Osipov’s and Lanchester’s ideas that described system tasks of quantitative changes in countering strengths by means of the system of differential equations.

Practical applicability. Original method for combat cooperation between UAS and air defense system has been developed. The elaborated models might be useful in real-time designing strategy that requires balancing of the volumes of produced battle units of countering parties.
