The article discusses the issues of promising directions for improving monitoring tools and methods (information transfer to the operator in real time, thanks to video surveillance, fires are searched, survey of the territory), fire extinguishing (the arrival of a fire drone at the place of call at specified coordinates; fire identification by means of observation and control ; starting the fire extinguishing module; position stabilization when supplying fire extinguishing agents.), processing of fields (remote monitoring and control of accurate data on the topography of fields with all information about the unused area within the field using surveillance cameras; precision farming – using a drone with a combination of multispectral sensors, software products allows you to determine the need for plants in nitrogen fertilizers and other micro- and macronutrients, watering the field, analyzing the quality of the performed sowing work and even planning the harvest.). Analyzed digital methods of monitoring the airfield infrastructure. The possibilities of using drones in wide systems of their application and revealing their advantages are considered. Possible problems and their possible solutions are identified. The listed distribution companies in Ukraine that import drones such as: «Smart Trading (DJI, Parrot)», «MTI (DJI, Swell pro)», «ERC (Power Egg)», «Drone UA (DJI, Parrot, Drone Deploy, Mica Sense, Pix4D, Wingtra )», «L-trade (Leica Geosystems)», «Fly Technology (DJI, Yuneec)», «Quadro copter or DJI-kiev.com (DJI )». The directions of further research are determined and the categories of normative regulation of the use of unmanned vehicles are determined (remotely piloted aircraft systems; unmanned autonomous systems; legal use of remotely piloted aircraft systems). Based on the analysis of trends in the use of unmanned aerial vehicles and the directions of their further development, the conclusions are given, which states that the use of unmanned aerial vehicles is promising for firefighting, monitoring and field treatment. Their implementation is developing rapidly and they occupy a worthy place in aerial photography processes.

Personal computers (PCs) are a powerful resource in the EM Laboratory, both as a means of automating the monitoring and control of microscopes, and as a tool for quantifying the interpretation of data. Not only is a PC more versatile than a piece of dedicated data logging equipment, but it is also substantially cheaper. In this tutorial the practical principles of using a PC for these types of activities will be discussed.The PC can form the basis of a system to measure, display, record and store the many parameters which characterize the operational conditions of the EM. In this mode it is operating as a data logger. The necessary first step is to find a suitable source from which to measure each of the items of interest. It is usually possible to do this without having to make permanent corrections or modifications to the EM.
