Research Projects

Tethered high-altitude unmanned telecommunication platforms, which transmit electric energy from the ground to board via a thin cable rope, are being developed for long-term operation in civil and defense industries. The project aims to develop methods for reliability enhancement of these platforms, including models, methods, and algorithms for assessing reliability based on multidimensional Markov stochastic processes. The project also aims to develop Network Control Systems and power supply stabilization systems, as well as mathematical models for trouble-free landing, diagnostic systems, and backup autonomous navigation systems. The project will contribute significantly to reliability theory, queuing theory, and theoretical foundations of broadband unmanned aerial communications networks. The project aims to develop theoretical foundations for building next-generation tethered high-altitude telecommunications platforms. It will use stochastic modeling, reliability and dependability analysis, and an expectation-maximization EM algorithm. The project will use new mathematical models and computational algorithms related to queuing theory, reliability theory, optimal control theory, and resonance theory of energy transmission. The results will form the basis for experimental prototypes of a new-generation highly reliable multi-rotor unmanned platform. The project will contribute significantly to reliability theory, queuing theory, and theoretical foundations of broadband unmanned aerial communications networks.
