Up to 35 thousand forest fires are registered in Russia annually, the area of fire of which is up to 2.5 million hectares. The use of unmanned aerial vehicles as one of the effective ways to detect and prevent forest fires. The use of UAVs has more advantages over other means of fire detection. In conclusion, the authors conclude that if only an incipient forest fire can be detected, it will prevent large economic and environmental losses.
