AREA OF INITIAL POSITIONS OF A UAV (UNMANNED AERIAL APPARATUS) IN THREEDIMENSIONAL SPACE
When landing an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) on a ship, it is required to perform the specified boundary values of the state vector at the moment of approach to the hook equipment. The article considers the solution of the problem of calculating the points of the area of initial positions of UAV. It is mean, that each point provide hitting for the UAV to a predetermined aiming area at a given time in the vicinity of the hitch. In this case, the phase coordinates of the UAV at the time of approach to the hook device have to defined. To calculate the points located on the boundary of the area of initial positions, auxiliary problems of optimal program control have been solved. To solve it, the necessary conditions for the maximum principle of L. S. Pontryagin were used. The article considers the algorithm of the computational solution of the auxiliary problem of optimal program control and the results of calculating points thats located at the far boundary of the area of initial positions, that is mean, that points located at the maximum distance from the aiming point (the location of the hook device).
