A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF DOMESTICALLY PRODUCED UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS FOR FOREST FIRE DETECTION AND MONITORING

The study conducted a comparative analysis of domestically produced unmanned aerial systems for detecting and monitoring forest fires. It was noted that the domestic market is currently actively developing, and Russian models are comparable to their foreign counterparts. The study focused on domestically produced aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles, namely: SIGMA, Patrol-30, Gorizont-Aero, Skat, Grusha, Supercam S-250, InnoVtol-3s, Zala 421-04M and Orlan-10. The study's methodology included a critical analysis of these models. Each model was examined in detail, and the best were identified based on flight range, maximum flight time, weight, dimensions, payload, communication range, and cost. The distinctive features of each model were also considered. The data obtained demonstrate the significant potential of using domestically produced unmanned aerial systems for detecting and monitoring forest fires. Aircraft-based models demonstrate the greatest effectiveness.
