Abstract

The article provides an analysis of the use of modern unmanned aerial vehicles(UAV), their characteristics, as well as the features of detecting unmanned aerial vehicles and cruise missiles by surveillance radars, as the most complex air targets from the point of view of radar theory. The acute problematic issues of building a radar detection system as a whole and possible ways to solve them are described. One of the scientific and technical problems in the all- round radar proposed for solution is the development of methods for integrating various UAV detection means in the radar structure, such as acoustic, optical-electronic and radio engineering, operating in different wavelength ranges. Methods for integrating the above-mentioned various UAV detection means in surveillance radars will improve the quality of detection and determination of radar portraits of air objects
