Abstract: To support the units and parts of the air defense of the Ground Forces in constant combat readiness to perform combat missions, it is necessary to conduct combat firing, including during military exercises, with personnel using combat weapons against modern air targets. Air targets imitate real existing modern means of air attack of the enemy, as well as false targets during combat operations. The article substantiates the feasibility of creating promising air targets based on unmanned aerial vehicles using Luneberg lenses. A control algorithm for implementing a promising air target based on the Luneberg lens is proposed. It provides for the following procedures: collecting and processing data on the tactical and technical characteristics of enemy air attack weapons, existing Luneberg lenses, unmanned aerial vehicles and processing information on the means of simulating infrared radiation of air targets; selecting the nomenclature of real air targets to be imitated by air targets; lenses for simulating the effective scattering area of air targets; means of simulating infrared radiation of air targets and unmanned aerial vehicles to create an air target; layout of the air target and manufacture of a prototype; organization and testing of a prototype of the air target; formation of a solution for organizing the production of the air target; analysis of the efficiency of the organization of the production of the air target and a block for adjusting the solution.
