The impact of various target evasion maneuvers from an approaching object on the potential engagement area was assessed. The study is based on a mathematical model describing the engagement of two rigid bodies in a vertical plane, where the motion of one body follows the proportional navigation method, while the other maintains a constant velocity. By means of computer simulation, the calculated engagement zones were designed for straight-line motion and for three maneuvering variants under different conditions for the onset of trajectory maneuvering. The nature of the influence of evasion tactics on the geometry of these zones was established. The simulation results are valuable for engineers working on control systems and can serve as a basis for further research.
