The article presents the results of a system analysis of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including for agricultural technologies, as well as airplanes and helicopters for fighting fires. Based on the results of the analysis, a systemic synthesis of a hybrid aircraft was carried out to integrate the solution of these problems, which is the airship. It is shown that airships are mobile, reliable and autonomous means, with a high carrying capacity and weight return, versatility of use and low total cost: 10 times less than the manufacture of a helicopter and 100 times lower than its operating costs. At the same time, unlike UAVs, airships allow the use of nanotechnology (membrane, thermomagnetic) separation of atmospheric gases as an “endless source of fire extinguishing composition” to suppress ignitions and landscape fires, and also solve all UAV tasks, including innovations in agricultural technologies.
