Some Conditions and Factors Affecting the Creation of Signal Relay Facilities Based on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

The article was developed as part of a scientific study on the topic of the program: IRN BR21882279 «Development and manufacture of a small-sized communication repeater based on an UAV to increase the range and stability of communication». The authors explore the conditions and factors influencing the development and creation of signal relay facilities based on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). A brief analysis of the technical, operational and regulatory requirements for such systems, as well as examines the impact of various conditions on their effectiveness and capabilities is also considered. Some types of aerodynamic layouts of drones used by developers as an aerial platform for a communication relay payload are considered, a brief assessment of the positive and negative properties of UAV platforms is carried out. The work has practical value for developers and users of UAV-based relay systems, as well as for specialists in the field of communications and telecommunications.
