Abstract:

Counter-unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS), or counter-drone technology, refers to complex systems that are used to detect, locate, track and take over/down unmanned aerial vehicles. The proliferation of C-UAS technology accelerates due to the increasing number of incidents with commercially available drones that happen almost daily around the globe. This paper provides a background on how the technology works, when is applicable and what are the ups and downs.

Abstract:

According to Michael Kratsios, Deputy US Technology Officer, and Executive Assistant of President, UASs will contribute to 100,000 new jobs and provide nearly $80 Billion in economic impact in the United States over the next decade, but "errant use poses unique safety and technological challenges" (Kratsios, 2018). It is these two opposing potential results that pit the advocates for fully integrating UASs into the National Airspace System against those that warn for caution and separation. The profit potential of being the market leader in a new industry clashes with an already established manned system that is recovering from years of losses following September 11, 2002, and regulatory agencies whose mission is the safe and efficient utilization of airspace, particularly of existing manned aviation, clashes with users who want unrestricted and free access at any time and may not necessarily understand the regulatory environment of the complex airspace system they want to occupy. UAS sales are growing irrespective of this, with sales doubling annually from 2013 to 2017, reaching an estimated 2.4 million units sold in the US in 2017 (Scott, 2017) (Meola, The Rise of the Drone Industry, 2017).

Abstract:

The drone sector offers a wide range of affordances, opportunities, and economic benefits for society. Delivery services, agriculture monitoring, wildfire control, public infrastructure inspections, humanitarian aid, or drone journalism, are among the activities enhanced by unmanned aerial systems (UAS). No surprise the civilian UAS market is growing fast throughout the world. Yet, on a daily basis, newspapers report serious concerns for people infringing other people’s rights through the use of drones. Cybersecurity attacks, data theft, criminal offences brought about the use of this technology frame the picture. Nowadays, several countries are changing their legal rules to properly address such challenges. In 2018, the European Union (EU) started its five year-long regulative process that should establish the common rules and standards for UAS operations within the EU Single Sky by 2023. A similar timeline has been adopted in the United States, so as to provide the jurisdictional boundaries for the civilian use of drones. The United Kingdom (UK) and Japan are adopting new rules too. From a legal point of view, the overall framework is thus rapidly evolving. The aim of this paper is to give attention to (i) privacy and data protection concerns raised by UAS operations; (ii) their monitoring functions and corresponding surveillance issues; and, (iii) how a privacy preserving approach – such as with privacy by design technologies, organizational measures, audit procedures, civic involvement, to name a few – makes a lawful and ethical use of this powerful technology possible.

Abstract:

In this study, reducing motion blur in images taken by our unmanned aerial vehicle is investigated. Since shakes of unmanned aerial vehicle cause motion blur in taken images, autonomous performance of our unmanned aerial vehicle is maximized to prevent it from shakes. In order to maximize autonomous performance of unmanned aerial vehicle (i.e. to reduce motion blur), initially, camera mounted unmanned aerial vehicle dynamics are obtained. Then, optimum location of unmanned aerial vehicle camera is estimated by considering unmanned aerial vehicle dynamics and autopilot parameters. After improving unmanned aerial vehicle by optimum camera location, dynamics and controller parameters, it is called as improved autonomous controlled unmanned aerial vehicle. Also, unmanned aerial vehicle with camera fixed at the closest point to center of gravity is called as standard autonomous controlled unmanned aerial vehicle. Both improved autonomous controlled and standard autonomous controlled unmanned aerial vehicles are performed in real time flights, and approximately same trajectories are tracked. In order to compare performance of improved autonomous controlled and standard autonomous controlled unmanned aerial vehicles in reducing motion blur, a motion blur kernel model which is derived using recorded roll, pitch and yaw angles of unmanned aerial vehicle is improved. Finally, taken images are simulated to examine effect of unmanned aerial vehicle shakes. In comparison with standard autonomous controlled flight, important improvements on reducing motion blur are demonstrated by improved autonomous controlled unmanned aerial vehicle.

Abstract:

Much of aerospace academia is anticipating a boom in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) funding and research opportunities. The expectation is built on the premise that UAVs will revolutionize aerospace, which is likely based on current trends. There is also an anticipation of an increasing number of new platforms and research investment, which is likely but must be analyzed carefully to determine where the opportunities might lie. This paper draws on the state of industry and a systems engineering approach. We explore what aspects of UAVs really are the results of aerospace science advances and what aspects will be rather more mundane works of engineering.

Abstract:

Technological innovations in the 􀏐ield of informatics, rapid developments in subjects such as arti􀏐icial intelligence and robotic engineering have put Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and Armed Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UCAV) into the battle􀏐ield of the 21st century. At this point, states whose common concerns are security have taken the path of both obtaining intelligence and developing unmanned aerial systems, whose use is rapidly increasing in the 􀏐ield of war-defense. It is known that many countries are currently working on developing and producing UAVs, beside United States of America (USA) and Israel which both have advanced unmanned aerial systems. Because states that are developing and manufacturing their own unmanned aerial systems are aware that this situation will provide a strategic advantage in terms of their military, political and economic interests. In this context, Turkey didn’t stay indifferent to the developments of unmanned aerial systems emerging in each passing day, it has made considerable momentum towards the last 􀏐ifteen years to develop national and indigenous UAV systems. Especially since mid-2010, these systems have been used ef􀏐iciently in both intra border operations and crossborder operations The main question of this article is how Turkey’s UAV/UCAV power is re􀏐lected in global politics and in this direction, world press will be scanned. In this context, this study will primarily explained by Turkey’s domestic and national development of unmanned aerial systems adventure in general terms; then Turkey’s use of these vehicles in where and for what purpose will be evaluated. Afterward it will be evaluated that how Turkey’s power of UAV/UCAV is perceived by other states in economic and military-political aspects by examining the relevant state press and publishing organizations Keywords: Turkey, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles, Press- Publishing Organizations.

Abstract:

The research concerns the methods of UAV group control in networks with duplex communication between nodes built on the "client-server" architecture. Such systems belong to self-organized networks with variable topology. It is important to study the allowable parameters of deviation from the task in the management of a group of UAVs and analysis of the network topology for the group flighting. The network was optimized according to the Ant Colony algorithm ACO. The application of different types of algorithms prevents routing problems in networks, such as ANTMANET, AntNet, ACODV and others. Methods of coordination of group joint actions are considered. A method is proposed by which the optimal number of UAVs operated by one operator can be determined and the traffic intensity of the communication channel is calculated, as well as the bandwidth and packet transmission delay are estimated.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to perform discriminant analysis of voice commands in the presence of an unmanned aerial vehicle equipped with four rotating propellers, as well as to obtain background sound levels and speech intelligibility. The measurements were taken in laboratory conditions in the absence of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the presence of the unmanned aerial vehicle. Discriminant analysis of speech commands (left, right, up, down, forward, backward, start, and stop) was performed based on mel-frequency cepstral coefficients. Ten male speakers took part in this experiment. The unmanned aerial vehicle hovered at a height of 1.8 m during the recordings at a distance of 2 m from the speaker and 0.3 m above the measuring equipment. Discriminant analysis based on mel-frequency cepstral coefficients showed promising classification of speech commands equal to 76.2% for male speakers. Evaluated speech intelligibility during recordings and obtained sound levels in the presence of the unmanned aerial vehicle during recordings did not exclude verbal communication with the unmanned aerial vehicle for male speakers.

Abstract:

In this study, we propose a distributed swarm control algorithm for an agricultural multiple unmanned aerial vehicle system that enables a single operator to remotely control a multi-unmanned aerial vehicle system. The system has two control layers that consist of a teleoperation layer through which the operator inputs teleoperation commands via a haptic device and an unmanned aerial vehicle control layer through which the motion of unmanned aerial vehicles is controlled by a distributed swarm control algorithm. In the teleoperation layer, the operator controls the desired velocity of the unmanned aerial vehicle by manipulating the haptic device and simultaneously receives the haptic feedback. In the unmanned aerial vehicle control layer, the distributed swarm control consists of the following three control inputs: (1) velocity control of the unmanned aerial vehicle by a teleoperation command, (2) formation control to obtain the desired formation, and (3) collision avoidance control to avoid obstacles. The three controls are input to each unmanned aerial vehicle for the distributed system. The proposed algorithm is implemented in the dynamic simulator using robot operating system and Gazebo, and experimental results using four quadrotor-type unmanned aerial vehicles are presented to evaluate and verify the algorithm.

Abstract:

The object of this study is the process of segmentation of images from unmanned aerial vehicles. It was established that segmentation methods based on k-means and a genetic algorithm work qualitatively on images from space observation systems. It is proposed to use segmentation methods based on k-means and a genetic algorithm for segmenting images from unmanned aerial vehicles. The main stages of image segmentation methods based on k-means and genetic algorithm have been determined. An experimental study of segmentation of images from unmanned aerial vehicles was carried out. Unlike known ones, image segmentation by a k-means-based method that successfully works on images from space surveillance systems cannot be directly applied to image segmentation from unmanned aerial vehicles. Unlike known ones, image segmentation by a method based on a genetic algorithm that successfully works on images from space surveillance systems also cannot be directly applied to image segmentation from unmanned aerial vehicles. The quality of segmentation of images from unmanned aerial vehicles by methods based on k-means and a genetic algorithm was assessed. It was established that: – the average level of first-kind errors is 70 % and 51 % when segmenting an image from an unmanned aerial vehicle using methods based on k-means and a genetic algorithm, respectively; – average level of second-kind errors is 61 % and 43 % when segmenting an image from an unmanned aerial vehicle using methods based on k-means and a genetic algorithm, respectively. It was concluded that further research must be carried out to develop methods for segmenting images from unmanned aerial vehicles.

Abstract:

What happens when an engineer attempts to address the value-neutral paradigm and the holistic deficits in engineering science? This paper sets out to account for the interplay between an unmanned aerial system engineer acting as a “champion” of value sensitive design (VSD) and their more objectivist research organization. Action research methods are used by the authors in an attempt to implement VSD in a real-world research organization and thereby bridge the theory-practice gap. Primary empirical data are collected which indicate the engineer has internalized and often utilizes a VSD approach. Both barriers and catalysts to wider adoption of VSD within the organization are experienced, and recommendations for overcoming paradigmatic, strategic, structural, and cultural barriers are addressed. This work demonstrates how action research can be used to shift engineering away from a value-neutral paradigm towards the value-sensitive approach advocated by the authors.

Abstract:

Purpose The presented research is carried out in reaction to the soaring costs of fuel and tight control over environmental issues such as carbon dioxide emissions and noise. The purpose of this paper is to study the feasibility of applying the environmental-friendly energy source in an unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) propulsion system. Design/methodology/approach Currently, the majority of UAVs are still powered by conventional combustion engines. An electric propulsion system is most commonly found in civilian micro and mini UAVs. The UAV classification is reviewed in this study. This paper focuses mainly on application of electric propulsion systems in UAVs. Investigated hybrid energy systems consist of fuel cells, Li-ion batteries, super-capacitors and photovoltaic (PV) modules. Current applications of fuel cell systems in UAVs are also presented. Findings The conducted research shows that hybridization allows for better energy management and operation of every energy source onboard the UAV within its limits. The hybrid energy system design should be created to maximize system efficiency without compromising the performance of the aircraft. Practical implications The presented study highlights the reduction of the energy consumption, necessary to perform the mission and maximizing of the endurance with simultaneous decrease in emissions and noise level. Originality/value The conducted research studies the feasibility of implementing the environmental-friendly hybrid electric propulsion systems in UAVs that offers high efficiency, reliability, controllability, lack of thermal and noise signature, thus, providing quiet and clean drive with low vibration levels. This paper highlights the main challenges and current research on fuel cell in aviation and draws attention to fuel cell – electric system modeling, hybridization and energy management.

Abstract:

In modern warfare, the information component is crucial for both sides of the conflict. Donetsk and Luhansk regions have become a kind of bridgehead for testing and application in the operation of unmanned aerial vehicles of various dimensions and functional purposes, the most common of which are small reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles. Dozens of enemy vehicles are gathering information about the location of the Ukrainian military. To date, no state is ready to withstand planned attacks by unmanned aerial vehicles. Traditional air defense weapons are designed for large and long-range targets, while the modern line of drones consists of nano-, micro- and mini-devices flying at low altitudes. A comparative analysis of modern means of counteracting unmanned aerial vehicles and conclusions about the possibility of their use in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The newest means of destruction of unmanned aerial vehicles of the leading countries of the world are considered. The issue of the possibility of blocking the work of enemy drones is covered in zones (areas) of hostilities. Ways to increase the effectiveness of small - scale unmanned aerial vehicles are proposed. Priorities in the implementation of programs for the development of modern domestic means of destruction of unmanned aerial vehicles can be considered the use of means of interception or destruction by electronic countermeasures. The relevance of the study lies in the analysis of the main available methods of control with unmanned aerial vehicles, development of perspective approaches and acquaintance with modern achievements and directions of development of means of struggle against drones applied by the enemy.

Abstract:

Abstract In the past few years the use of unmanned aerial vehicles in Lithuania has significantly increased. However, enjoying the advantages of this technology, which improves society’s socio-economical safety (public safety in a broad sense), raises some privacy concerns. This article analyses European Union and national legal regulations regarding the use of unmanned aerial vehicles as well as legal tools for defence of the right to privacy or prevention from its breaches in the Republic of Lithuania. Unmanned aerial vehicles have become popular only recently; thus, legislation regarding their use has not yet become a common topic among lawyers. Furthermore, case law of the Republic of Lithuania is silent about it. Thus, the authors model a situation of breach of privacy using an unmanned aerial vehicle and analyse possible defence mechanisms.

Abstract:

The interest in unmanned systems especially unmanned aerial vehicle is continuously increasing. Unmanned aerial vehicles started to become of great benefit in many different fields. It is anticipated that unmanned aerial vehicles will soon become a main component of the future urban air traffic. The integration of unmanned aerial vehicles within existing air traffic environments has started getting the attention of researchers. Integrating unmanned systems in the real-world urban air traffic requires the development of tools and simulators to enable researchers in their ongoing efforts. In this article, a simulator called UTSim is introduced. The proposed simulator is built using the Unity platform. UTSim is capable of simulating unmanned aerial vehicle physical specification, navigation, control, communication, sensing and avoidance in environments with static and moving objects. The simulator enables studying and exploring several unmanned aerial vehicle air traffic integration issues like sense and avoid, communication protocols, navigation algorithms, and much more. UTSim is designed and developed to be easily used. The user can specify the properties of the environment, the number and types of unmanned aerial vehicles in the environment, and specify the algorithm to be used for path planning and collision avoidance. The simulator outputs a log file with a lot of useful information such as the number of sent and received messages, the number of detected objects and collided unmanned aerial vehicles. Three scenarios have been implemented in this article to present the capabilities of UTSim and to illustrate how it can benefit researchers in the field of integrating unmanned aerial vehicles in urban air traffic.

Abstract:

Using the characteristics of unmanned aerial vehicle/unmanned ground vehicle, heterogeneous systems can accomplish many complex tasks cooperatively. Moving target tracking is an important basis for the relative positioning and formation maintenance of heterogeneous cooperative systems. This paper first introduces the unmanned aerial vehicle/unmanned ground vehicle collaborative tracking task and heterogeneous system. In order to maintain the original stability of unmanned aerial vehicle, a control method based on SBUS protocol to simulate remote control is proposed. About unmanned ground vehicle with Mecanum wheel, a detailed description of control method is designed. For the problems of real-time performance and occlusion, a tracking scheme based on AprilTag identification is studied. The scheme tracks the Tag target in the case of no occlusion. When occlusion occurs, the scheme tracks the color feature around the Tag. The accuracy of the tracking algorithm and the problem of occlusion are greatly improved. Finally, the scheme is applied to the heterogeneous systems. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed method is suitable for unmanned aerial vehicle/unmanned ground vehicle heterogeneous system to perform the collaborative tracking task.

Abstract:

The use of unmanned aerial vehicles is at an early stage, which is characterized by a significant level of development of unmanned aerial vehicles and their elements, as well as the lack of grounds for the use of unmanned aerial vehicles in real technological processes. The resolution of this contradiction requires the solution of various problems of a conceptual, technical, technological, methodological, organizational, legal and regulatory nature.The use of an unmanned aviation transport system helps to avoid the traditional mistakes that arise during the manned use of aviation technology, eliminating the human factor, helps to accelerate the delivery of goods, reduces the amount of inventory of goods and materials, and increases the productivity and efficiency of transportation.In general, today the use of unmanned aircraft systems in the civilian industry is practically limited to special cases of local applications in favor of solving current industrial or economic problems, mainly through an experimental procedure. Consequently, the market for unmanned aerial systems is expected to grow, which will overcome a number of technical and administrative barriers that restrict the use of unmanned aerial systems in national airspace. It should be noted the increasing spread of unmanned systems in public transport.The purpose of this work was to assess the main provisions of the concept of creating an unmanned aviation transport system from the point of view of aerodynamics, in terms of weight perfection, in terms of strength, in control, in aircraft systems, in electronics, in operational manufacturability, reliability and safety, and to show that such cargo drones will competitive with large manned commercial cargo planes and road transport.This research was motivated by the growing worldwide interest in unmanned cargo aircraft. It focused in particular on improving cargo drones over existing conventional general aviation aircraft, and this should be seen as a preliminary step towards a comprehensive assessment of unmanned cargo transport systems.

Abstract:

The article discusses the features of small unmanned aerial vehicles, perspectives, directions for the development of unmanned aerial vehicles with integrated combat units. The development trends of unmanned aerial vehicles indicate the direction of the use of the unmanned aerial vehicle in the group of small unmanned aerial vehicles operating on the principle of autonomous management. The main problems are related to solving management and groupwork tasks in the group, which leads to the use of group intelligence methods. The possibilities of group use of unmanned aerial vehicles are analyzed. One of the main goals of small drone technology is to create energy sources with high energy capacity and power. The exchange of information within a group of unmanned aerial vehicles requires the use of group-based intelligent methods based on self-organized decentralized management. Such methods are based on the self-organization of movement and communication in a group of insects, fish or birds. The analysis shows that the development trends of small-scale drones are primarily driven by advances in micro and nano technology, new approaches to aerodynamics and management, the creation of high-capacity power supplies and engines, creating autonomous micro and nano systems for navigation and communication using agreed integrated concepts. The direction of new technologies for use in the group of small unmanned aerial vehicles based on the principle of autonomous control is revealed. An algorithm for organizing interaction in a group of unmanned aerial vehicles is presented and the relevant tasks are discussed.

Abstract:

Recently, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, has increased significantly and the technical advencements in the field have led to new possibilities in several fields, both military and civilian. Air drones help reduce human life risks and costs, and can be used to carry out dangerous and costly missions by replacing human operators. Unmanned aircraft have a wide range of use, from entertainment for enthusiasts to military operations. Large investments, especially in the field of robotics, electronic miniaturization, sensors, network communication, information technology and artificial intelligence help to accelerate and diversify areas of use. The operation of unmanned systems and the applications that use these systems depend, to a large extent, on the cyber systems that are used for data collection, storage, processing and communication. However, these systems also have certain vulnerabilities, which has led various (state or non-state) hybrid actors to develop methods of conducting cyber attacks on drones.

Abstract:

Optical image sensors are the most common remote sensing data acquisition devices present in Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). In this context, assigning a location in a geographic frame of reference to the acquired image is a necessary task in the majority of the applications. This process is denominated direct georeferencing when ground control points are not used. Despite it applies simple mathematical fundamentals, the complete direct georeferencing process involves much information, such as camera sensor characteristics, mounting measurements, attitude and position of the UAS, among others. In addition, there are many rotations and translations between the different reference frames, among many other details, which makes the whole process a considerable complex operation. Another problem is that manufacturers and software tools may use different reference frames posing additional difficulty when implementing the direct georeferencing. As this information is spread among many sources, researchers may face difficulties on having a complete vision of the method. In fact, there is absolutely no paper in the literature that explain this process in a comprehensive way. In order to supply this implicit demand, this paper presents a comprehensive method for direct georeferencing of aerial images acquired by cameras mounted on UAS, where all required information, mathematical operations and implementation steps are explained in detail. Finally, in order to show the practical use of the method and to prove its accuracy, both simulated and real flights were performed, where objects of the acquired images were georeferenced.

Abstract:

An unmanned aerial vehicle is a hardware and software complex with multi-purpose control. Unlike manned aviation, an unmanned aerial vehicle requires additional modules in its control system. These include the drone itself, the operator's workplace, software, data transmission lines and blocks necessary to fulfil the set flight objectives. The range of applications of unmanned aerial vehicles in the civil sector is not limited, but with the current state of the legal framework for the use of airspace, flight operations are somewhat difficult. The article formulates the main scientific position on the methodology of solving auxiliary tasks set in the work. The methodology specifies the main research stages, and it is a generalized methodological algorithm for the implementation of scientific research, which provides theoretical developments, field observations and simulation computer modelling. As a result of the study, it was found that the motion control systems of unmanned aerial vehicles are used for the process of their differentiation by the principle of complete external control, the advantages of which are considered in the work. For external control of divergence process of unmanned aerial vehicles, a method is considered for assessing the situation of convergence of unmanned aerial vehicles and choosing the manoeuvre of their difference using the area of dangerous courses, unmanned aerial vehicles approach, and it is possible to take into account the inertia of unmanned aerial vehicles when turning and the presence of navigational hazards that are in the manoeuvring area.

Abstract Various programmes are underway internationally to establish legislative instruments for regulating civil and military unmanned aerial vehicles and systems. An analysis of a selection of these programmes revealed that the approaches used for airworthiness regulation are not harmonised and are usually limited to specific unmanned aerial vehicle types, indicating the need for a generic framework for airworthiness requirements. A functional Reference Framework for unmanned aerial vehicle and system airworthiness requirements was developed using Annex 8 of the Chicago Convention as a reference basis, supplemented with airworthiness procedures and functional requirements derived from manned aircraft regulations, unmanned aerial vehicle and system airworthiness material, and flightworthiness guidelines for reusable launch vehicles. Various airworthiness elements were identified for which further research is required to develop appropriate airworthiness requirements. This paper summarises the development of the framework and proposes the Reference Framework as a functional basis for generating comprehensive South African civil and military airworthiness requirements for unmanned aerial vehicles and systems.

The work shows the relevance of the problem of countering reconnaissance and strike unmanned aircraft systems and the need to improve the scientific and methodological support of its solution according to a certain corresponding paradigm. In the work as a paradigm of countering unmanned aerial systems, it is proposed to consider a conceptual theoretical and methodological model of combating unmanned aerial vehicles, which currently provides opportunities for identifying the problems of developing forces and means of countering unmanned aerial systems. The developed paradigm of counteraction can be an element of scientific and methodological support, contributes to the solution of the problem of the complex use of forces and means of counteraction to reconnaissance and strike unmanned aircraft systems in order to acquire the capabilities of troops (forces) to perform tasks as intended in the conditions of the use of unmanned vehicles. The recognition of such a paradigm by specialists determines that their activities are based on the accepted model of countering unmanned aircraft systems, using the same rules and standards established in the industry. The generality and consistency of approaches that they provide are prerequisites for ensuring the required scientific level of a certain direction of research. The proposed approach outlines the tasks, content, components, principles of assessment of means of counteraction to unmanned aerial vehicles by contributing to the effectiveness of the system of protection of the object from reconnaissance and strike (shock) systems of the enemy, which systematizes knowledge in the subject area. problems of modern armed struggle. The prospect of further research is to clarify the mathematical calculations in accordance with the characteristics of troops (forces), military facility, protection system against reconnaissance and strike (strike) unmanned aerial vehicles of the enemy and samples of military equipment that are part of it.

It was noted that when forming the configurations of an unmanned aerial system for pesticide and fertilizer application, it is necessary to take into account the interdependence of unmanned and ground-based aerial systems. (Research purpose) To develop the configurations of an unmanned aerial system for pesticide and fertilizer application. (Materials and methods) The authors used Methodological recommendations on the use of chemicals in the precision farming system (VIM), regulatory and technical documentation for unmanned aerial systems. (Results and discussion) The authors developed a flowchart of the algorithm for forming the configurations of a helicopter type unmanned aerial system for fertilizer and pesticide application, including the formation of both unmanned and ground-based aerial systems. The authors calculated the aerodynamic characteristics of an unmanned coaxial rotor aircraft with a take-off weight of 280 kilograms and a payload of 100 kilograms. A modular-designed sprayer was offered. The authors substantiated the structure of the ground-based aerial complex in the form of a mobile transporter-tanker with a basic transport platform, lifting and transporting and refueling modules, and a universal ground control panel for the pilot-operator. (Conclusions) The authors formed reasonable configurations of a helicopter type unmanned aerial system for pesticide and fertilizer differentiated application in the precision farming system. Aircraft performance limitations were identified for the application of fertilizers and pesticides by a helicopter type unmanned aerial vehicle: the payload of at least 100 kilograms, the operating altitude of 1.0-1.5 meters when bypassing the agricultural field topography and avoiding possible obstacles, the operating airspeed kept below 60 kilometers per hour, automatic take-off and landing on a limited area, autoflight at the speed of 60 kilometers per hour at a one meter altitude in a tacking mode. It was showed that the static ceiling margin, without taking the earth influence into account, with a 280-kilogram flight mass, is 1300 meters, which allows flying in mountainous areas, for example, for the treatment of vineyards with pesticides.

Abstract:

The article reviews the methods for improving the technology of monitoring and inspection of the state of power grids. The state of development in the design and methods of using unmanned aerial vehicles, which are intended for servicing power lines, is analyzed. A number of issues related to the concept of unmanned aerial vehicles with high lifting capacity are considered, which allows them to be used for various means of maintenance of power lines, which in turn reduces capital costs. Unmanned aerial vehicles are increasingly being used by utilities, which reduces the risks and costs of maintenance compared to other transmission line monitoring systems. It was determined that in the field of electric power industry the most promising of the methods for monitoring power lines is the application of unmanned aerial vehicles together with the use of modern measuring equipment and digital technologies. It is concluded that a significant advantage of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles is their possibility, which reduces costs and increases the efficiency of their use as a means of determining promising locations for wind farms. It is noted that with the transition of the global electricity industry to the use of unmanned aerial vehicles will save resources and reduce costs. Moreover, it is determined that the use of unmanned aerial vehicles with high lifting capacity allows minimizing the cost of using additional lifting equipment and technical personnel. In particular, high-lift unmanned aerial vehicles using flamethrowers can effectively remove obstacles such as clogging on power lines. It is noted that the use of unmanned aerial vehicles will increase the safety of employees in the maintenance of power facilities and power lines. The obtained results from the analysis of the technical condition of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles indicate the prospects for the introduction of remote control systems and monitoring of the operational condition of power lines.

Abstract:

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) propulsion technology is significantly related to the flight performance of UAVs, which has become one of the most important development directions of aviation. It should be noted that UAVs have three types of propulsion systems, namely the fuel, hybrid fuel-electric, and pure electric, respectively. This paper presents and discusses the classification, working principles, characteristics, and critical technologies of these three types of propulsion systems. It is helpful to establish the development framework of the UAV propulsion system and provide the essential information on electric propulsion UAVs. Additionally, future technologies and development, including the high-power density motors, converters, power supplies, are discussed for the electric propulsion UAVs. In the near future, the electric propulsion system would be widely used in UAVs. The high-power density system would become the development trend of electric UAVs. Thus, this review article provides comprehensive views and multiple comparisons of propulsion systems for UAVs.
