Analysis of opportunities of use of the electric field mill for lightning discharges detection on the basis of data of an experiment is carried out in the work. Data of joint registration of lightning discharges by the lightning location systems and by the electric field mill are presented. The option of improvement of single-station system characteristics due to joint working of the electric field mill and the lightning direction and range finder is offered.

Passive radio engineering monitoring means of storm activity in VLF range are considered in the work. The comparative analysis of characteristics of modern Russian and foreign lightning location systems which have a broad practical application is carried out. Possibilities of improvement of precision and probabilistic characteristics of VLF methods and techniques for location of various types of lightning high current components are estimated.
