Оценка показателей безотказности роя беспилотных малоразмерных летальных аппаратов
The paper analyses the existing methods of network communication with and within a group of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and the existing methods of assessing the reliability of the communication system with different UAV swarm topologies. The existing methods for assessing the reliability of the software part of a drone swarm and for estimating the failure rates of an individual UAV and a UAV swarm are analysed. A unified mathematical model for assessing the UAV swarm uptime indicators, including a combination of technical system, network communication system and software part, is presented. In addition, the results of the study of the influence of the network topology within the swarm on the reliability indicators of the swarm structure are presented. The results of dependence of reliability indicators and other characteristics with the help of computer modelling systems are presented.
