Assessing Projects for Drone Development

  • Published:
Russian Engineering Research Aims and scope

Abstract

One of the most promising developments in aviation today is the production of unpiloted aviation systems (drone systems), which is a science-intensive and high-tech endeavor. The market for drones is rapidly developing. Today, drones have both military and commercial applications and are of growing popular interest in many countries. Total investment in drone projects increases each year. Therefore, effective means of assessing such projects are essential in making sound investment decisions. In the present work, a method is proposed for determining the optimal expenditure of effort in drone development.
