Algorithm for monitoring the dynamic zone of forest fires by a group of unmanned aircraft

Abstract

Objective. The aim of the study is to develop an algorithm for monitoring forest fire zones, carried out by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).Method. The study is based on methods of algorithmic support, methods of analysis and synthesis of automated control systems for technological objects.Result. The technologies and methods for monitoring forest fires are considered, which confirms the relevance of the use of UAVs to perform these tasks. An algorithm for the use of UAV swarms for monitoring forest fire zones is presented. The algorithm includes enlarged stages of decomposition of the global problem, distribution of tasks, application of methods of collective decision-making, etc.Conclusion. The proposed algorithm can be implemented subject to the development of swarm control theory.
