Abstract
A method is proposed for assessing the effectiveness of ensuring the safety of an unmanned vehicle flight in an urban environment by a laser-ranging aerobatic system, based on energy calculations of the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio when detecting obstacles such as a wire. Its efficiency is estimated by the conditional probability of avoiding a collision when finding an obstacle in the direction of the aircraft. Estimates of the probability of avoiding a collision with a wire are obtained for typical flight conditions. The efficiency of the use of laser-ranging systems for ensuring flight safety in urban conditions is shown.
