The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) is a current trend. At the same time, their individual use is moving to group use when it is necessary to ensure communication and optimal use of resources. The subject of the article is the processes of group use of unmanned aerial and ground vehicles. The purpose of the article is to carry out a comprehensive analysis of the main areas of application of UAVs and UGVs, to determine the methods of task optimisation for groups of these devices, and to assess the feasibility and prospects of introducing cloud technologies for task distribution and route optimisation. As a result of the work, it is determined that the most relevant topics in the field of UAVs and UAVs are the use of cloud technologies, the integration of UAVs and UAVs, and the integration of UAVs and UAVs with other technologies. These methods and technologies are actively used in solving complex problems of route planning and task distribution in UAV and UAS groups. However, insufficient attention is paid to the impact of various weather conditions on UAV and UGV operations, as well as to the calculation of mission reliability. These aspects are critically important for the practical application of unmanned systems, especially in difficult conditions and when performing critical tasks. development of adaptive algorithms capable of taking into account dynamic environmental changes and the creation of comprehensive models for assessing mission reliability, taking into account both the technical characteristics of devices and external factors. The direction of further research is the development of adaptive algorithms capable of taking into account dynamic changes in the environment and the creation of complex models for assessing mission reliability, taking into account both the technical characteristics of devices and external factors.Downloads
