The vast territory of Russia, occupied by agricultural lands, is difficult to control due to the lack of an undeveloped network of operational monitoring points, ground stations, including meteorological stations, lack of aviation support due to the high cost of maintaining staff, etc. In addition, due to various types of natural processes, there is a constant change in the boundaries of acreage, soil characteristics and vegetation conditions in different fields and from site to site. Abroad, the above mentioned problems are successfully solved due to the application of remote sensing data (RSD) of the Earth, obtained with the help of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The proceedings, obtained (UAV), can help both to solve complex tasks of managing agricultural territories, and in highly specialized areas.

In this chapter, the authors propose an approach to using a heterogeneous team of unmanned aerial vehicles and remote sensing techniques to perform tactical forest firefighting operations. The authors present the three-level architecture of the multi-UAV-based forest firefighting monitoring system; features of patrolling, confirming, and monitoring missions; as well as functions of UAV in such missions. The authors consider an infrastructure for the UAV ground support and equipment used for the UAVs control. The method of the data integration into a fire-spreading model in a real-time DSS for the forest fire response is proposed. The proposed approach has been tested with the multi-UAV team that included three drones for the patrol missions, one helicopter for the confirmation mission, and one octocopter for the monitoring mission. The performance of such multi-UAV team has been studied in the laboratory conditions. The result of the experiment has shown that the proposed approach provides required credibility and efficiency of fire prediction and response.

One of the fastest developing scientific disciplines in forestry are geomatics and remote sensing. The use of unmanned aerial vehicles deserves a mention. On the example of the Świdwin Forest District the possibilities of using drones in forestry were presented. Unmanned aerial vehicles are mainly used for fire protection, creation of orthophotomaps, checking the health status of stands, monitoring spruce forests and the promotion of state forests.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones have revolutionized scientific research in multiple fields. Drones provide us multiple advantages over conventional geological mapping or high-altitude remote sensing methods, in which they allow us to acquire data more rapidly of inaccessible or risky outcrops, and can connect the spatial scale gap in mapping between manual field techniques and airborne, high-altitude remote sensing methods. Despite the decreased cost and technological developments of platforms, sensors and software, the use of drones for geological mapping in Mongolia has not yet been utilized. In this study, we present using of drone in two areas: the Chandman area in which eclogite is exposed and the Naran massif of the Khantaishir ophiolite in the Altai area. Drone yields images with high resolution that is reliable to use and reveals that it is possible to make better formulation of geological mapping. Our suggestion is that (1) Mongolian geoscientists are encouraged to add drones to their geologic toolboxes and (2) drone could open new advance of geological mapping in Mongolia in which geological map will be created in more effective and more detailed way combined with conventional geological survey on ground.
