THE PROBLEM SOLUTION OF RATIONAL PLACEMENT OF UNMANNED AIRCRAFT GROUPS IN URBAN DEVELOPMENT AS PART OF AN OPERATIONAL RESPONSE SYSTEM

Abstract

A method of rational placement in urban development of a grouping of unmanned aerial vehicles (aircraft) intended for information support of the police rapid response forces is proposed. By placement, in this case, it is meant to determine the composition of the grouping and the coordinates of the locations (take-off points) of unmanned aircraft that are part of it. As geographical objects for the placement of the aviation grouping, cities and urban areas are assumed, in the construction of which residential quarters, places of recreation and mass stay of people, transport and commercial facilities predominate. The method allows, with the specified requirements for the maximum time of arrival of an unmanned aircraft (UAV) to the scene of the incident, to determine the rational composition and location of the elements of the UAV grouping in the city (village, urban district, village), including having a complex shape of the building area. To search for take-off points, fragments of a triangular lattice are used as a basic geometric model, which are virtually and conformally placed on the city plan in accordance with the developed algorithm. The proposed method allows, under conditions of resource constraints, to solve the problem of placing a group of UAVs in urban development, from the point of view of minimizing the material costs associated with its creation and operation, by reducing the number of UAVs used.
