ANALYSIS OF THE MARKET OF UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES IN UKRAINE AND PROSPECTS FOR ITS DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Analysis of the UAV market and prospects for its development. The purpose of the work is to clearly demonstrate the number of UAV manufacturers and the direction of their application.
 The work will make it possible to visually demonstrate the products of the main developers and fill the gaps in production that were identified in the existing military segment of the market of unmanned aerial vehicles manufactured in Ukraine. The article examines and analyzes the materials on the distribution of the UAV market in the civil and defense spheres. The main attention is paid to the defense sphere, where functional classifications and classifications according to the purpose of UAVs are defined. The allocation of state support funds for contracts for the purchase of new models of unmanned aerial vehicles was considered. The drones that are produced the most and the least are determined. A change in the vector of UAV production is predicted due to the change in the nature of hostilities in the south and east of Ukraine. The direction of further research is proposed, which can be as an additional consideration in the set of selected indicators of additional technical characteristics that affect the combat capabilities of UAVs, as well as consideration of cost indicators.
