METHODOLOGY OF PROVIDING SAFETY OF UAV USE WHILE PERFORMING SPECIAL TASKS UNDER COMPLICATED CONDITIONS

Abstract

The article proposes a methodology to ensure the safe use of UAVs due to the complex application of the technology of data acquisition of the terrain digital model; wave algorithm for finding the set of visibility endpoints in the land environment by on-board observation means and construction of the visibility zone profile; methods of discrete geometry for assessing the visibility zones of observation in the land environment; models of ArcGIS and ArcView Spatial Analyst software modules for multichannel raster data processing (aerial survey, satellite imagery) and obtaining the terrain raster layers in a digital format will provide an opportunity to state the control impacts upon the UAVs safe use more accurately. The proposed methodology will provide the opportunity to solve the following tasks: to estimate the area of the state border, which will be monitored by the UAV at each separate point of the flight; to determine the required number of UAVs that will control the designated areas and border sectors; to choose the best options according to the determined characteristics of the UAV use in each particular sector.
