The System of Environment Ecological Monitoring with Use of Compact Unpiloted Aircrafts

Abstract

There were examined the new high-efficiency methods for remote sensing monitoring of natural environment components on the basis of unpiloted aircrafts. There were presented performance of Unpiloted Aircrafts (UPA) used for different tasks. For carrying out of different media's monitoring was offered to use complexes on the basis compact UPA of helicopter or aircraft type, equipped with attachments, such as digital camera, video camera, thermal imagery camera, konimeter, gas analyzer, radiation dosimeter. There were developed monitoring systems with use UPA for areal, point and linear sources of environment pollution, allowing promptly and withhigh accuracy define levels of ambience pollution at different altitudes, construct three-dimensional models of air pollution, and outline man-made pollution area in different media. Conducted study is demonstrated that the use of the new methods of remote sensing monitoring allows increase the oper-
ational capability of observation under decreasing of carried investigation's working cost.
