Tiivistelmä
This Thesis investigates the present integration of UAVs in SAR operations. Considering the findings from modern research papers analysis, it describes the nowadays situation in SAR department, existing methods and solutions for UAV usage and proposes the future development of the SAR operations mechanisms.
Through the study and comparison of available and upcoming approaches, the thesis summarizes and generalizes the many methods into universal classification model. This way the thesis aims to introduce to the reader the key trends of UAV development in the field of SAR operations. In addition, it underscores the main difficulties of drones integration in SAR, providing a deeper understanding about the arising challenges.
Finally, the study presents the examined techniques in a form of sub-chapters, which are organized into two main groups by their function - Interactive or Analytical. Furthermore, it introduces the present UAV models and their topological classification. By doing so, the paper not only provides the valuable information and insights about UAVs, but also proposes the future development of UAV technology in SAR operations, finally resulting in a contribution to the future research in the field.
