The article presents the results of the research on the features of the development of unmanned military aviation in the context of scientific and technical progress. Drones began to be actively used at a certain stage of the development of science and technology, and they combined the latest achievements in various fields of science and advanced technologies. At the same time, the development of jet engines and electric motors, the creation of remote and automatic control systems, the emergence of a new elemental base, the progress in optical-electronic, electronic-computing and digital technology, global navigation satellite systems and the possibility of placing weapons on unmanned aerial vehicle, as well as the utilization of artificial intelligence’s advantages determined the prospectiveness of development and the relevance of the use of unmanned aircrafts in military affairs.
