The study was created thanks to the author’s preferences to learn increasingly more about new technologies that are able to increase the potential of internal security of the state. Recently, interest in recording areas (difficult to access, dangerous, monitored in adverse weather conditions, monitored due to the implementation of tasks by relevant services), the development of methods enabling the transmission of various materials at a distance, and performing other complicated activities have increased. For this purpose, unmanned aerial vehicles (so-called drones, UAVs) that are versatile in many respects are used. The author noticed the need to disseminate such innovative devices on native soil, especially for using them in multidirectional strengthening of the security sphere. Polish companies producing UAVs for many foreign customers have already marked their presence in this matter. The achievements of the designers are so impressive that it makes us appreciate the development of our technical thought, and above all, the use of drones to ensure security and public order in Poland. A series of training courses is already conducted by the Police Academy in Szczytno, which is a good solution both for teachers and, above all, for the trainees themselves. Such an initiative will undoubtedly translate into increased interest in drones, and especially the incredible usefulness of these devices for uniformed services and other entities.

Number Of Factors

This paper presents a decision-making scheme at the level of individual unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with the goal of maintaining safe operations for urban mobility. The decision-making approach for a single UAV will consider the risks associated with the current trajectory given the existing environmental conditions and the state of the vehicle. The proposed scheme combines the analysis of system performance, environmental conditions, and mission level parameters for contingency management, i.e., make a determination on: (1) to abort mission and land safely; (2) re-plan current mission in full or abbreviated form; and (3) change mission.  A path planning and trajectory optimization algorithm with the goal of minimizing the overall risk of mission failure by considering a number of factors such as the uncertainties in the environment and operating state of the vehicle is proposed. We will consider the mission failure as the loss of control of the vehicle resulting in a collision with other objects or a crash into the ground. An offline part of the framework generates an initial mission plan by considering the state of the vehicle, the environmental, conditions, and the static features of a map of the environment. Once the vehicle takes off, the risk of mission’ failure associated with the remaining trajectory is re-computed in an online framework to assess whether re-planning is required or not. A key challenge that we consider in this paper is to study the effects of multiple interacting subsystems of the UAV on system performance, especially under degraded conditions.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), especially those allowing programmed flight paths, with stops and hovering, e.g. the quad and hex rotor drones, have gathered attention in recently for as their potential use in certain envisioned applications that may be difficult, expensive, or dangerous to do manually. One poignant use case important to the State of Louisiana is that of bridge inspection. In the Lafayette District of LADOTD alone, more than 1600 bridges require annual inspection. In this paper, considerations and criteria important UAV-based bridge inspection in Louisiana are researched and analyzed; experiments with actual UAVs are conducted, and findings provide insight into the problem and potential solutions.

The article reviews the methods for improving the technology of monitoring and inspection of the state of power grids. The state of development in the design and methods of using unmanned aerial vehicles, which are intended for servicing power lines, is analyzed. A number of issues related to the concept of unmanned aerial vehicles with high lifting capacity are considered, which allows them to be used for various means of maintenance of power lines, which in turn reduces capital costs. Unmanned aerial vehicles are increasingly being used by utilities, which reduces the risks and costs of maintenance compared to other transmission line monitoring systems. It was determined that in the field of electric power industry the most promising of the methods for monitoring power lines is the application of unmanned aerial vehicles together with the use of modern measuring equipment and digital technologies. It is concluded that a significant advantage of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles is their possibility, which reduces costs and increases the efficiency of their use as a means of determining promising locations for wind farms. It is noted that with the transition of the global electricity industry to the use of unmanned aerial vehicles will save resources and reduce costs. Moreover, it is determined that the use of unmanned aerial vehicles with high lifting capacity allows minimizing the cost of using additional lifting equipment and technical personnel. In particular, high-lift unmanned aerial vehicles using flamethrowers can effectively remove obstacles such as clogging on power lines. It is noted that the use of unmanned aerial vehicles will increase the safety of employees in the maintenance of power facilities and power lines. The obtained results from the analysis of the technical condition of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles indicate the prospects for the introduction of remote control systems and monitoring of the operational condition of power lines.

In precision agriculture, thermal remote sensing is considered a promising tool that estimates the surface temperature of vegetation and uses satellite thermal imaging cameras or thermal cameras on unmanned aerial vehicles. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in reviewing of thermal cameras for unmanned aerial vehicles and the use of a heat channel (LWIR) to study the state of crops when monitoring using unmanned aerial vehicles. (Materials and methods) We used scientific literature, materials of domestic and foreign authors, and websites of manufacturers of thermal imaging cameras for unmanned aerial vehicles. (Results and discussion) A modern drone with a thermal imaging camera serves as a platform solution for monitoring agricultural fields. Thermal infrared sensors capture information about the temperature of objects warmer than absolute zero (-273 degrees Celsius/-459 degrees Fahrenheit) at certain wavelengths (the LWIR and MWIR ranges) in an amount proportional to their temperature and generate images that display this temperature. The process of collecting and processing thermal data consists of several stages and varies depending on the suspension equipment and the purpose of the survey. Foreign scientists used thermal images obtained using unmanned aerial vehicles and a thermal camera to assess the state of vegetation cover, crop yields, irrigation systems, to measure water stress, determine the maturity phase of row crops and fruit tree productivity. (Conclusions) The heat channel can be used in the formation of decisions for assessing vegetation cover, crop moisture availability, when planning irrigation systems, determining diseases and infected crops, crop readiness for harvesting and yield mapping.
