The possibilities of using unmanned aerial vehicle in fire monitoring

Abstract

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are becoming increasingly important in mission planning and efficient performance of various tasks: disaster rescue operations, fire detection, exploration of dangerous remote areas, military operations, security functions, etc. It is extremely important to respond promptly, quickly arrive at the scene of the incident, in order to assess the damage, eliminate the causes and consequences, and stabilize the situation. Effective path planning with UAVs is critical to mission success. The purpose of the research is to investigate the application of the drone’s abilities in peatland fire monitoring.
