Methodological approaches to optimization the level of autonomy of radio-electronic equipment of a complex with UAV and the conditions of their application

The article is devoted to solving the problem of optimizing the level of autonomy of radioelectronic equipment (REE) of a complex with unmanned aerial vehicle (CUAV) in the interests of increasing its efficiency. The aim of the work was to further develop the methodological apparatus for optimizing the level of autonomy of the CUAV electronic equipment in terms of detailing the conditions for using various methodological approaches to the problem being solved and further developing the methodology for optimizing the level of autonomy of the equipment of the complexes when performing heterogeneous operations. The article systematizes the expressions of the methodological apparatus of optimization in various situations, and defines a criterion for the possibility of forming homogeneous groups of operations from heterogeneous ones. As such a criterion, the condition is accepted that the value of the efficiency assessment error does not exceed a given threshold level when averaging the characteristics of the operations performed We obtained graphs of the dependences of the effectiveness of the electronic equipment of CUAV on the duration of the formed groups of homogeneous operations from heterogeneous ones, as well as the dependences of the effectiveness of the electronic equipment of CUAV on deviations of the characteristics of the operations performed from their average value. A conclusion is made about the relatively weak influence of this deviation on the efficiency of the electronic equipment of CUAV, and, consequently, about the possibility of forming groups of homogeneous operations from heterogeneous ones when the characteristics of the operations performed deviate from the average value by tens of percent. It is emphasized that the conclusion made is valid only for the accepted values of the characteristics of the operations performed and the previously accepted dependences of the probability of erroneous decisions on these characteristics. At the same time, the proposed approach to choosing a method for optimizing the level of autonomy may be of some interest. The results obtained can be used both in the formation of requirements for the electronic equipment of CUAV at the conceptual and design stages of the formation of the complex, and in the direct design of the REE and CUAV as a whole. In addition, the results can be used in the creation of intelligent and intellectualized systems for a wider purpose.
