Performance analysis of UAV sprayer application in precision agriculture

Abstract The effectiveness of the use of spray UAVs in precision agriculture largely depends both on the UAVs chosen for this purpose and their characteristics, and on the organization of the control of the UAV swarm, which requires an analysis of the UAV microprocessor performance in various modes of their use. It is possible to organize a general control of a swarm of UAVs, as well as individual control in offline mode. The article presents a methodology for analyzing the performance of spray UAVs in precision agriculture. A model example of the analysis of the microprocessor performance of a UAV swarm based on the specified system parameters is given. It is shown that the use of models of microprocessor performance of a swarm of UAVs in precision farming makes it possible to obtain the information necessary to make a decision on the development or purchase of UAVs of one type or another, the choice of fertilizer and pesticide spraying systems, the scaling and redundancy of UAVs and elements of the spraying system.
