BENEFITS OF INTEGRATING UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS INTO THE AIRSPACE OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Abstract

This article reviews the main advantages of integrating unmanned aerial systems into the airspace of the Russian Federation. The text highlights the possible prospects for the use of unmanned aerial vehicles in the context of some industry niches. Particular attention is paid to the consideration of the issue in the field of ecology and on the example of the emergency service. Also, this article presents a list of monitoring tasks that can be solved using unmanned aerial vehicles and indicates the possibility of not only collecting data and accompanying rescue teams, but also interacting with the environment. In the field of ecology, an additional list of areas in which these technologies can be applied is given. Further, the paper compares the key parameters of the tactical and technical characteristics of two representatives of air and ground equipment used in monitoring a certain area. A statistical sample of data, indicators of response to a call in the field of fire fighting was analyzed and similar indicators were predicted when integrating unmanned aircraft. Based on the results of this simulation, diagrams were constructed and appropriate conclusions were made. One of the most important characteristics for unmanned aerial systems is the possibility of interactively obtaining information from a given territory. The analysis of the data presented in the article allows us to conclude that there is a significant rationalization of the processes of monitoring the area, data collection and the efficiency of the distribution of forces and means during rescue operations. The conclusion also states that a key benefit of such integration will be a high probability of reducing the percentage of human losses and economic costs.
