Control of unmanned aerial vehicles during fire situation monitoring
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2019, Vol 11, Issue 0
Abstract
The issues of increasing the efficiency of fire situation monitoring are discussed, during which the search for objects of interest is being conducted to organize rescue operations and plan activities to fight the fire and reduce the consequences. Modern unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with vision systems, allow us to automatically explore the search area and detect various objects of interest. Monitoring is realized by controlling the trajectories and altitude of the aircraft, as well as receiving and analyzing images of the underlying surface, taken by onboard visual systems. The article offers a method for determining the altitude of flight of unmanned aerial vehicles during monitoring of the fire situation, taking into account the safety of aircraft and the conditions of observability of objects of interest. We consider some options for assessing the effectiveness of monitoring based on the search criteria of objects and the safety of unmanned aerial vehicles.

Advanced Trailing Edge Blowing Concepts for Fan Noise Control
This study documents trailing edge blowing research performed to reduce rotor / stator interaction noise in turbofan engines. The existing technique of filling every velocity deficit requires a large amount of air and is...
New Search Space Reduction Algorithm for Vertical Reference Trajectory Optimization
Burning the fuel required to sustain a given flight releases pollution such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides, and the amount of fuel consumed is also a significant expense for airlines. It is desirable to reduce fue...
Analytical solutions of the simplified Mathieu’s equation
Consider a second order differential linear periodic equation. The periodic coefficient is an approximation of the Mathieu’s coefficient. This equation is recast as a first-order homogeneous system. For this system we ob...
Signal processing and analysis in a buffet onset wind tunnel campaign
The purpose of the current work is to determine the buffet onset boundary in the case of an airliner type of wind tunnel model having a presumably laminar wing. A complex wind tunnel campaign took place, providing an imp...
