"Heterogeneous Critical Application Computer Networks Based on UAV Swarms and Flocks - Creation and Functioning (2nd Edition)" explores the design and operation of computer networks built on swarms and sub-swarms of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The book examines their use in monitoring and other critical applications, addressing challenges such as communication stability, data security, and system reliability when individual UAVs fail or lose control. It presents innovative algorithms that reduce computing load, communication demands, and human intervention while enabling autonomous micro-tasks such as collision avoidance in complex environments. Based on doctoral research, the monograph also analyzes UAV power systems, efficiency, and operational lifespan. Book is intended for students, researchers, engineers, and specialists interested in UAV technologies and swarm-based cyber-physical systems.
