The study deals with a conflict situation associated with the movement of clusters, including hundreds of small control objects in the field of responsibility of the radar station of an external observer. The task of the external observer is to monitor and trace the cluster movement and control it if a threatening situation occurs. The task of the cluster is to create the maximum possible uncertainty in decision making by the external observer. The cluster motion model is developed as K. Reynolds’ swarm behavior, supplemented by special coefficients. Three methods are developed for the formation of various cluster shapes, close to geometric and changing in the process of movement. A hypothesis is formulated and confirmed by mathematical modeling that, due to variations in the geometry, shape, and number of objects in a swarm cluster, there exist a possibility of creating situations where a swarm will be perceived by the external observer as a single large object different from the original one. It is shown that it is possible to create clusters simulating dangerous objects if the criterion for making a decision is the value of the effective scattering surface.
