Application SMART for Small Unmanned Aircraft System of Systems

Abstract

This chapter presents results of SMART for small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles System of Systems complex making, the development of complex control and Infrared communication algorithms, investigations of operation effectiveness of reconnaissance SMART UAVs System-of-System and of the distributed systems of wireless sensors. The development of UAV System-of-System complex and the military tactic tasks and reconnaissance application have been considered. The problems upon providing effective functioning of reconnaissance UAV during analysis and control of highly dynamic scenes are considered. It is shown that during the optimum regime of functioning and taking into account given limiting conditions on total radiation power of radio signals, the reconnaissance UAV should possess the current radiation power inversely proportional to the amount of signal-noise ratio. The technical realization of such optimum regimes is possible by way of development of adaptive control of transmitter power depending on the amount of useful signal detected during reconnaissance activity of UAV.
