Experience of swarm application of UAVs in the field of autonomous agriculture

Abstract

The article analyzes the current experience of swarm application of UAVs in the field of autonomous agriculture. Agricultural UAVs are integral components of automation systems developed for autonomous agriculture and are widely used at various stages of operation due to their accuracy, high efficiency, environmental sustainability and ease of operation. Swarm application of UAVs covers four main stages of agricultural production (growing, planting, management and harvesting). It is advisable to analyze the application of a UAV swarm at each of these stages, assessing the experience of implementing advanced technologies of swarm application of UAVs in the field of autonomous agriculture. The experience of application and the level of development of UAV swarm technology in autonomous agriculture allows us to identify ways to improve swarm performance, scalability and the pace of implementation in modern conditions.
