Abstract

The article is related to an intelligent information system for managing a fleet of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) while taking into account various dynamically changing constraints. Variability of the time intervals that are available for flights over certain areas located close to the airports is one of the essential constraints. The system must be developed very flexibly to easily accommodate changing both flight destinations and performance conditions. The authors propose application of Algebraic Logic Meta Modelling (ALMM) technology to design and implement the models and algorithms used in this system. The article presents part of the research carried out by the authors during the design of the aforementioned system. An Algebraic Logic (AL) model of UAV flights optimization scheduling problem is given. The execution of overflights in the circumpolar zone with the criterion of minimizing the total completion time of all tasks \(C_{max}\) is described. Then a hybrid algorithm for solving this problem and the results of the experiments carried out are presented. The component nature of the proposed approach allows easy transposition of the models and algorithms in case of more complex, additional assumption and restrictions referring to manage flights in real conditions.
