This article proposes an approach which deals with the problem of monitoring ocean pollution and cleaning dirty zones using autonomous unmanned vehicles. The authors present a cooperative agent-based planning approach for heterogeneous unmanned vehicles with different roles. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) monitor multiple ocean regions and unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) tackle the cleaning of dirty zones. Due to the rapid deployment of these unmanned vehicles, and the increase of ocean pollution, it is convenient to use a fleet of unmanned vehicles. Thus, most of the existing studies deal with the monitoring of different zones, the detection of the polluted zones and then the cleaning of the zones. In order to optimize this process, the authors' solution aims to use one UAV and one USV to reduce the pollution level of the ocean zones while taking into account the problem of fault tolerance related to these vehicles.

Before And After

With the continuous development of the maritime economy, the maritime unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become important parts of the maritime transportation system. Unmanned vehicles play a pivotal role in water safety management, offshore patrol and maritime rescue. Consequently, this article researches and develops an unmanned aerial vehicle–unmanned surface vehicle (UAV-USV) coupling system with multiple functions. The ship body module, the deformation module and the UAV module are designed by using the modular analysis method, then volume of fluid (VOF) technology and STAR-CCM+ software are applied to analyze the ship resistance before and after deformation and optimize it. The results show that the Transformer has high speed before deformation and stable navigation ability after deformation, and it can navigate in high winds and waves. It has a large reconnaissance range and some radar stealth capability, which can fulfill different tasks, such as maritime patrol, military strike and maritime rescue.

Abstract The text deals with the development and methods of use of Drones or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in contemporary conflicts or special operations. The contribution tries to present the main advantages of these vehicles as being the main reasons for their current use in armed forces of state as well as non-state actors and their dynamic proliferation in global space in past years. We can observe a new trend in the armed conflict in the last two decades - use of advanced systems of unmanned vehicles in such a range that many military and academic experts talk about a new wave of revolutionary changes in the military affairs. This wave, or we could even talk about militarytechnological breakthrough should lead to imminent use of these systems in contemporary as well as future conflicts which would result in the partial or complex robotization of the battlefield. Specific attention is dedicated to controversies tied to the use of Drones/Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in socalled Drone Warfare and current discussion in the context of cultural or societal dimension of their use and perspectives for further development.

The work shows the relevance of the problem of countering reconnaissance and strike unmanned aircraft systems and the need to improve the scientific and methodological support of its solution according to a certain corresponding paradigm. In the work as a paradigm of countering unmanned aerial systems, it is proposed to consider a conceptual theoretical and methodological model of combating unmanned aerial vehicles, which currently provides opportunities for identifying the problems of developing forces and means of countering unmanned aerial systems. The developed paradigm of counteraction can be an element of scientific and methodological support, contributes to the solution of the problem of the complex use of forces and means of counteraction to reconnaissance and strike unmanned aircraft systems in order to acquire the capabilities of troops (forces) to perform tasks as intended in the conditions of the use of unmanned vehicles. The recognition of such a paradigm by specialists determines that their activities are based on the accepted model of countering unmanned aircraft systems, using the same rules and standards established in the industry. The generality and consistency of approaches that they provide are prerequisites for ensuring the required scientific level of a certain direction of research. The proposed approach outlines the tasks, content, components, principles of assessment of means of counteraction to unmanned aerial vehicles by contributing to the effectiveness of the system of protection of the object from reconnaissance and strike (shock) systems of the enemy, which systematizes knowledge in the subject area. problems of modern armed struggle. The prospect of further research is to clarify the mathematical calculations in accordance with the characteristics of troops (forces), military facility, protection system against reconnaissance and strike (strike) unmanned aerial vehicles of the enemy and samples of military equipment that are part of it.
