Service platforms for agricultural UAV systems

Active interest in the use of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems in agricultural produc-tion is caused by high accuracy, efficiency of obtaining and analyzing information about the operations be-ing implemented at each stage in any zone of implementation of agricultural technologies, wide variability of use, the possibility of adjusting agricultural processes in case of inconsistency of their characteristics regulated by technological maps directly in the course of the implementation of agricultural technologies, maneuverability of movement along complex trajectories, etc. Uninterrupted operation and automated maintenance of UAV systems are provided by autonomous service landing platforms (ASLP). An analysis of the scientific and practical groundwork for platforms of UAV systems of various applications is carried out in order to assess the possibility of using its agricultural systems. The requirements for the ASLP of agricul-tural UAV systems, proposals for the structure of platforms and the implementation of their components are formulated. For accurate positioning of UAVs on the platform, active positioning devices with straight paral-lel pushers, located at a slight elevation relative to the landing surface, most fully meet the technical and economic requirements. To replenish the energy resources of the ASLP directly in the territory of operation, a resonant single-conductor power supply system is promising. A sketch of the platform of the UAV system for monitoring territories and monitoring the progress of agro-technological processes has been worked out. The development of projects of multifunctional highly maneuverable modules of UAV systems, ensur-ing the performance of search and transformation and executive agrotechnological functions in the condi-tions of precision agricultural production in spatially distributed territories, will effectively solve the problems of digital transformation of agriculture with the involvement of information and intellectual resources.
