Cluster prospects of the use of unmanned aerial systems in supporting the living activity of critical industries

The article considered the prospects for the use of unmanned aerial systems in transport and logistics clusters for the delivery of cargo to critical locations, humanitarian assistance to community members, etc. Identified the main advantages and disadvantages of using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in peacetime and wartime. The main idea of the article is the use of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in ensuring the viability of critical industries in cooperation with the Association of Industrial Automation of Ukraine (APPAU), National Aviation University (NAU), joining the Ukrainian Cluster Alliance (UCA) as a regional transport. logistics cluster of unmanned aerial systems and complexes of NAU. Presented the classification of UAS by mass, altitude, flight duration, and range. Determined the composition of units of the unmanned aerial system. Given the characteristics of the designs of air drones (drones) of the manufacturers of world companies and the staff of the National Aviation University. The key priority of formation in the Ukrainian cluster alliance of the regional transport and logistics cluster of unmanned aerial systems and complexes based on the Scientific and Production Center for Unmanned Aviation "Virage ", departments: organization of air transportation, organization of aviation works, and services, logistics National Aviation University and other partner organizations. This will expand its opportunities to enter the European and world aviation markets.
