Some particular indices of effectiveness of unmanned aerial vehicle application

Abstract

In this article, a methodological approach based on a complex indicator (productivity – cost – efficiency) to evaluate the efficiency of using unmanned aeronautical systems is presented as a solution to the problem of searching for objects on the ground. This methodological approach can be used as a substantiation of decisions taken during the act of searching for specific objects and as a comparative evaluation of unmanned aeronautical systems by taking into account their characteristics.
