In the book, using a systematic approach, the main provisions of the theory of the effective use of UAVs for various purposes are proposed. Formulated and solved such problems of the theory as optimization of the required number of UAVs organization of processes of their effective application , optimization of the main flight modes of UAVs , optimal placement of ground components of unmanned aircraft systems (UAVs) and optimization of their relocation processes. The final chapters are devoted to the problems of managing the stocks of expendable materials of the LHC, calculating the number of spare UAVs and issues of informatization of the processes of using UAVs. The tasks presented in the work are accompanied by a significant number of examples. The book is intended for specialists in the operation of UAVs, as well as for students, postgraduates and doctoral students of relevant specialties .
