Abstract. The possibility of improving the aerodynamic quality and reducing the radar visibility of low-flying vehicles due to rounding the low-frequency components of sea waves in the vertical plane is considered. It is shown that it is possible to minimize the height of a low-flying vehicle near the sea surface due to vertical maneuvering, while maintaining a given level of safety, which allows improving the aerodynamic quality. The potential possibility of reducing the average height of the vehicle when driving in conditions of 4 - and 6-point irregular sea waves and the amount of re-loading that occurs during maneuvering are estimated by simulation. The proposed method can be implemented in the control systems of low-flying vehicles and used if it is necessary to minimize the speed and tolerance of long-term movement with minor overloads.
Keywords: low-flying vehicle, average height reduction, flight path optimization, vertical maneuvering, sea waves
