UNIVERSAL MODULAR-BLOCK SYSTEM FOR MONITORING ICE COVER STATE Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC G01W1/08 

FIELD: monitoring systems.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to systems for monitoring ice cover state. Essence: the system includes four field ice stations (1–4), a base station (5) for collecting and processing data from field stations, an unmanned aerial vehicle (7) of a helicopter type, radio channels of communication and control from a base station of field stations. Helicopter-type unmanned aerial vehicle is equipped with a block (8) of sensors, including a photo and video camera in the visible range, a photo and video camera in the infrared range, an electromagnetic radiation reception sensor, and a transceiver antenna unit (9) connecting an unmanned aerial vehicle (7) with a base station (5). Base station (5) is equipped with a device for controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle and receiving and recording signals from sensors coming from an unmanned aerial vehicle to the server. Moreover, the signals transmitted from the sensors are recorded on the server and simultaneously received via a computer on an additional monitor.

EFFECT: expanding the functionality and improving the accuracy of the forecast for the separation of shore ice and fracture of drifting ice fields.
