Abstract
Aim. The paper aims to show the relevance of assessing the technical level of UAVs in general, to identify and set forth the specificity of technical level (TL) assessment at the operational stage. Methods. The paper uses the method of systems analysis. Results. The paper shows the role of TL assessment of scout/attack unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as an indicator of their technological excellence, presents the state of the art, methodology and results of UAV TL assessment at all life cycle stages, key trends in UAV development, identifies the specificity of UAV TL assessment at the design stage for the purpose of maintaining the required level at the operational stage. Conclusions. The paper provides recommendations for structuring indicators that reflect the stability and development of UAVs. If modules are selected according to the required development indicators, the proper technical level of the UAV will be maintained at the operational stage.
