The results of scientometric analysis in the scientific and technical direction of unmanned aerial vehicles are presented. Information is provided about organizations conducting research in this direction. The areas in which the largest number of works presented are identified. It is shown that active research is being conducted in the areas of studying the use of swarms of unmanned aerial vehicles (drones), deve-loping methods for planning optimal flight routes of unmanned aerial vehicles and Navigation systems and unmanned aerial vehicles. To solve the tasks set, artificial intelligence and computer vision methods are widely used. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are an effective means of combating an aggressor, in addition, UAVs pose a growing multifaceted threat to civilian and military infrastructure, facilities and people. Researchers from many research institutes, universities and military units in Ukraine are developing methods for using, controlling and countering UAVs. The conducted studies have shown that the implementation of group control when controlling UAVs leads to an increase in the efficiency of UAV use. The world has undergone a transition from single use of UAVs to group and mass use, the culmination of which is drone swarming — mobile autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (air, ground, underwater or surface), programmed to perform relevant tasks. Swarm technology can also be used to combine UAVs with other robotic means. With the development of swarm intelligence, complex weapons systems and the latest materials, drone swarms will enter the stage of dominance. In leading countries of the world, the development and implementation of swarm technologies for the use of unmanned robotic systems is currently observed, which are considered a promising direction for achieving military-technical superiority over a potential enemy.
