Estimation of functional stability of special purpose networks located on vehicles

This work proposed the signs and indicators of functional stability of the structure of the special purpose network, which provides the connection between the group of unmanned aerial vehicles and an operator. Quantitative methods for evaluating functional stability for the given indicators are offered. It is possible to give recommendations on building up the structure or to formulate reasonable requirements for the structure of the wireless sensor network, which will be designed and operated, based on these estimates.
