Abstract
The group application of heterogeneous groups of robotic means opens up new prospects in the robotization of weapons and military equipment. It becomes possible to use radically different scenarios for the use of robots and solving defense problems. At the same time, it is important to recognize that the use of robots in a group imposes new requirements on the functionality of the robots themselves, and also requires a rethinking of the approach to creating new types of military robotic systems and reveals the problems of managing large heterogeneous groups of robotic means acting together to perform tasks.

Key words
Group control, priority direction, robotic tool.
