CALCULATION OF A CLOSED UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE FLIGHT ROUTE THROUGH THE TERRITORY OF THE ULYANOVSK REGION FOR THE PURPOSE OF MONITORING FOREST FIRES
The article calculates the closed flight route of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) on the territory of the Ulyanovsk region in order to monitor forest fires based on the solution of the traveling salesman problem. The possibility of using the Microsoft Excel Solution Search add-in to calculate the UAV flight route is shown. To overcome the limitation of Microsoft Excel on the number of variables, a program is written in Python.
