Aerospace Instrument-Making Annotation << Back TABLE MODEL OF OPERATIONAL DECISION-MAKING BY UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE S.V. Mikoni One of the ways to achieve superiority in confrontation with the enemy is to be ahead of him in making operational decisions. With regard to unmanned aerial vehicles, this means the transition from their manual control by the operator to automated control. Situational management can serve as its theoretical basis. The result of the analysis of the current situation is the choice of impact on the executive subsystems of the UAV. The standard situation is understood as the state of the UAV and the environment with the given values of the indicators characterizing them. The occurrence of a deviation of at least one indicator from a given value or range of values entails the choice of infl uence on the corresponding executive subsystem to eliminate the deviation that has arisen. It is proposed to implement this type of feedback using a tabular model of UAV operational control. The initial data for building the model is a set of indicators of the internal and external environment of the UAV and the requirements for their values. The tabular model is a matrix of single deviations from the norm. It is based on possible one- or two-way deviations from the given values of indicators. Each row of the matrix with a single deviation from the norm is assigned an impact on the executive subsystem of the UAV. For the case of possible multiple deviations (more than one indicator), the priority (order) of the choice of indicators regarding the response to changes in their values is provided. The functioning of the proposed tabular model of UAV operational control is demonstrated on a conditional example. The reaction of the control system to a single and double deviation of the UAV indicators from the norm is shown. To create and debug a tabular model of UAV operational control, an updated version of the SVIR selection and ranking system with a situational control module was used.
