This paper investigates the optimization of the communication system of unmanned aerial systems to improve the efficiency of combat operations. In particular, approaches to improving data transmission between unmanned aerial vehicles, manned aircraft and ground control points are analyzed, as well as routing algorithms to ensure control stability. The problem of countering electronic warfare and its impact on the effectiveness of unmanned aerial vehicles in combat conditions is considered separately. The article presents the results of evaluating the effectiveness of modern communication systems for unmanned aerial vehicles, develops mathematical models for calculating the cost and duration of a combat mission, and assesses the resistance of the communication system to electronic warfare. The results can be used to improve communication systems, increase the effectiveness of combat operations and develop a strategy for protection against electronic warfare.
