Abstract

The article deals with the feasibility assessing of the tasks assigned to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), and presents a method for the quality assessment of the military purpose UAV. As the result of the said assessment, the resulting inference with account for the unmanned engineering requirements and preferences is being formed. Criteria, which include indicators such as conformity, capability, operational security, sustainability and readiness for solving the tasks assigned to the UAV are known as well. In this regard, it is especially important to address the issues of the used sensors capabilities matching to solve the tasks assigned to the UAV. This task is usually being solved by modeling. Besides, the descriptive structure of a special metric is employed as well to develop a criterion for the UAV tasks feasibility assessing. For example, the issue of the of UAV tasks feasibility while searching for some objects depending on the terrain real landscape should be solved by creating a special methodology for the terrain visualization assessing depending on the state of the surface relief under study. Solving the issue of tasks feasibility is closely associated with the issue of a rational compromise achieving between the UAV total load, various sensors and the UAV mission feasibility. The article studied the issue on the tasks feasibility assigned to the UAV by solving the problem of developing the new criterion of executing functions of objects detection on the surface of the sought-for site by the UAV. Based on the well-known empirical criterion of the said task feasibility, a new indicator has been formed as a logarithm of the ratio of the task fulfillment and nonfulfillment probabilities. Based on the proposed indicator, the invariant linking this indicator with the number of work cycles, which ensure the corresponding probabilities of the task fulfillment, has been formed.
