The paper provides a review of scientific papers on reducing the impact area and the systematization of currently existing methods for solving this problem. Reducing the impact area is an important and urgent task, since it will reduce the operation costs. Currently, there are many works describing how to reduce the impact area. For a better assessment of the proposed methods, the main perturbing factors affecting the dispersion ellipse area of the separating part are considered. The advantages and disadvantages of the considered methods are highlighted.
