MODEL SERIES AND UAV CHARACTERISTICS FOR PRECISION AGRICULTURE OPTIMIZATION

Abstract

Substantiated: relevance of the topic, purpose of research, tasks, review of publications. The optimization problem is formulated, its features, sequence and methods of solution are determined. First, the current and future directions of UAV use in the agro-industrial sector, their relative share and weights in the general list of works are considered. The technical means of existing UAVs and problems that arise during their operation are considered. After the analysis, a conclusion is made about the functionality and technical requirements for promising UAVs. Next, data on the target consumers of UAVs in the domestic market are provided, their classification is carried out and specific needs are determined. The list of distributor companies that import agricultural UAVs for the domestic market is given, as well as data on existing UAV models. It analyzes whether modern UAVs meet the needs of target domestic consumers, considers the possibility of optimizing the model range of UAVs for different groups of consumers, substantiates and provides appropriate proposals, which are summarized in a separate table. The optimization of the organization of single and group work of UAVs is considered. Optimization is directly related to the application of new communication, control and artificial intelligence technologies. Examples are given of evaluating the efficiency of UAV use in comparison with manned aircraft for agrochemical works, as well as the presentation, processing and analysis of results. The conclusions assess the theoretical and practical significance of the results and identify areas for further research.

Key words: unmanned aerial vehicle, agriculture, optimization, evaluation, model series.
