AB  - The development of targeting systems is carried out under the influence of the requirements set bythe conditions of combat use of aircraft, which are characterized by high speed and dynamism. The emergenceof new methods for solving the targeting task in targeting systems leads to the expansion of aircraft combatcapabilities, as well as to changes in tactical techniques and maneuvers. Combat tactics themselves also developas a result of improving old ones and developing new methods of combat use. To implement the new methods,it is necessary to improve targeting systems.To solve the targeting task in bomb dropping, the non-programmethod is used, implemented on the various existing types of aircraft targeting systems. The non-programmethod, depending on the attack modes (horizontal flight, dive, pitch up) and the field of view of the sightingsystem, is implemented through the Constantly Computed Release Point (CCRP) and Constantly ComputedImpact Point (CCIP) modes. This article proposes a method for solving the targeting problem when droppingbombs by angular velocity from horizontal flight and dive.Bomb dropping by angular velocity is a method thathas not been used so far for solving the targeting problem. The moment of bomb dropping is determined bycomparing the angular velocities of tracking the target with the required ones. This method also allows the useof container type targeting systems. All this expands the areas of combat use of aircraft.To study the targetingprocess and determine the errors of bomb dropping, mathematical modelling of the targeting process isperformed using the CCRP and CCIP modes for bomb dropping as well as bomb dropping by angular velocity.The probabilistic characteristics of the dropping error are determined, and a comparative analysis of the same isperformed for different methods of bomb dropping.
