Abstract :
The work contains the analysis of the design methodology of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), which is able to carry out environmental monitoring, define the location of various objects and targets with high accuracy, map the seats of fire and areas of environmental contamination, fulfil patrolling functions to solve the tasks of the National Armed Forces and police, carry out meteorological research, etc. The original UAV design is provided with special compartments to carry useful load (engine, batteries, surveillance camera, control elements, 80 etc). The UAV has a combined control system intended for the control in an automatic mode including the application of GPS system.
