Muraviov // Приладобудування: стан і перспективи : збірник матеріалів XXV Міжнародної науково-технічної конференції, [Київ], 12-13 травня 2026 р. / КПІ ім. Ігоря Сікорського. – Київ, 2026. – С. 293-297. – Бібліогр. 7 назв.https://ela.kpi.ua/handle/123456789/81436The paper analyzes the classification of UAV autonomy levels based on operator involvement and decision-making capabilities. Key subsystems of autonomous UAVs are examined, including adaptive sensor-fusion navigation, computer vision, and advanced sensor systems. The study investigates how autonomy levels influence swarm architecture and leader selection algorithms to ensure group stability. Finally, main technological challenges and future development prospects are identified, focusing on artificial intelligence integration and self-organizing distributed networks.enUAVautonomydroneswarm of UAVsautonomous systemsnavigation systemsartificial intelligenceArticleС. 293-297629.70000-0002-7699-0245
