Abstract

With the popularization of unmanned aerial and ground vehicles as communication carriers, as well as a way to deliver goods and services, the demand for automation of a number of processes related to the technical component of these actions has increased. First of all, we are talking about the elimination of humans in making technical and machine decisions, namely control, guidance, resetting or even takeoff and landing of the device using automation using artificial intelligence. This is aimed at the fact that it is in the conditions of combat operations that the potential development and improvement of communication systems, information transmission and general use of unmanned vehicles takes place. In this article, we will consider the prerequisites for the emergence, the relevance of the study, its purpose and our own experience of using artificial intelligence systems in unmanned systems in real combat and civilian conditions.

З популяризацією, безпілотних літальних та наземних апаратів, як носіїв звʼязку, а також, як способу доставки товарів та послуг, зріс попит на автоматизацію ряду процесів, що пов’язані з технічною складовою цих дій. Насамперед мова йде про усунення людини, у прийнятті технічних і машинних рішень, а саме керування, донаведення, скид або навіть зліт та посадка апарату за допомогою автоматизації за допомогою штучного інтелекту. Це спрямовано на те, що саме в умовах бойових дій іде потенційний розвиток і вдосконалення систем звʼязку, передачі інформації та загального застосування безпілотних апаратів. У цій статті ми розглянемо передумови виникнення, актуальність дослідження, його мету та власний досвід застосування систем штучного інтелекту в безпілотних системах в реальних бойових та цивільних умовах.

Ключові слова

штучний інтелект, доставка, безпілотні літальні апарати, зона бойових дій
