On-Board Unlimited Aircraft Complex of Environmental Monitoring

Abstract

The problems of the creation and use of autonomous UAVs for environmental monitoring of the earth and sea surfaces, as well as the state of ice fields are considered. Technical features of power supply, navigation system, wireless transmission channel and encryption of transmitted data are evaluated. A variant of the equipment of an autonomous complex for monitoring subsurface layers based on six-engine drone with the use of an ultra-wideband radar for implementing the functions of monitoring hazardous objects (forest fires, areas of man-made and natural emergencies), the detection of people and physical objects in the review of marine and coastal zones, as well as ice covers and subsurface layers.
