摘要：The article presents the concept of using innovative unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including autonomous UAV-I for inspection activities, auxiliary and transport works in the processes of servicing large-scale ocean engineering structures in the offshore part of the sea. The proposed areas of application of UAV-I devices and key technologies determining the possibility of using these vehicles in difficult operating conditions at sea are presented. Simulation studies were carried out on the possibility of sequencing maintenance tasks and maintaining the efficiency of technical devices installed in various locations of the mining platform at relatively short time intervals not exceeding 3-4 hours. It was envisaged to use a limited resource of three drones with a specific purpose and functional characteristics. The limitation of the time horizon of the analysis was determined by the specific ranges of drone flights and the time-consuming nature of their operations.
