Information technology for determining monitoring areas when planning a flight route for unmanned aerial vehicle to search a dynamic object

Abstract

The article presents an information technology for determining monitoring areas when planning an unmanned aerial vehicle flight in order to find a dynamic object. The job of site identification information technology is to screen out low-weight sites based on the UAV's current location and time of arrival at the site. To determine the priority monitoring point, the averaged value of the section weight was applied, which takes into account the section weight proportional to the monitoring time and the expediency of the flight to it. The information technology for site determination is based on a combination of greedy, sorting and brute-force algorithms.The developed information technology can be included in the scientific and methodological apparatus and flight planning tools for an unmanned aerial vehicle, including a group, when performing a mission to find a dynamic object. For the experiment, a program for planning an unmanned aerial vehicle was developed on the Embarcadero Builder XE8 platform in the C++ programming language. An experiment was carried out as a result of which the flight route of an unmanned aerial vehicle was obtained. The information technology developed in the article for determining the monitoring sites will reduce the time when planning missions and increase the efficiency of air reconnaissance in general.
