Abstract
Environmental monitoring has become an urgent task in recent years in connection with the deterioration of the environmental situation caused by industrialization [1]. Usually, manned vessels with measuring equipment and personnel serving it on board were used for these purposes, but with the development of technology, full automation of this process became possible. The problem of the need to use human resources is solved by applying an autonomous vessel control system. However, the big problem remains, which is the need to refuel the vessel in connection with the finite amount of stored energy. This problem is solved by using renewable energy, an example of which is solar energy, on measuring platforms. This article will discuss methods for developing platforms controlled by the autopilot and using solar energy, using the Cadet-M platform as an example.
Highlights
Unmanned control technologies are currently advanced technologies in the field of patrolling and monitoring of water areas. [2] The use of manned vessels is inconvenient due to the needs of the person on board
The problems associated with keeping on board a person are solved using unmanned control systems
Alternative energy is energy whose source is different from traditional sources: coal, gas, nuclear fuel, oil, etc .; more often used in the context of limited fossil fuel sources and the presence of such emissions of harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere when used [3]
Summary
Unmanned control technologies are currently advanced technologies in the field of patrolling and monitoring of water areas. [2] The use of manned vessels is inconvenient due to the needs of the person on board. [2] The use of manned vessels is inconvenient due to the needs of the person on board. The problems associated with keeping on board a person are solved using unmanned control systems. The use of alternative renewable energy solves the problem of the need to refuel the vessel. Cadet-M can carry up to 30 kg of payload and has 3 quick-detachable modules for this. Distinctive features of this autonomous platform are modularity and collapsibility. These properties make it easy to transport Cadet-M. They allow you to modify the platform to fulfill your tasks by adding the necessary modules for this. A CAD model of the Cadet-M with linear dimensions of 2 x 2 x 1.5 m was built, Fig. 1
