The object of research in the article is various well-known approaches and methods of structural and parametric identification of dynamic controlled objects - unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The subject of the research is the parameters of linear and nonlinear mathematical models of spatial and isolated movements, describing the dynamics and aerodynamic properties of the UAV and obtained both from the results of flight experiments and using computer object-oriented programs for 3-D UAV models. The goal is to obtain mathematical models of UAV flight dynamics in the form of differential equations or transfer functions, check them for reliability and the possibility of using them in problems of synthesis of algorithms for automatic control systems of UAVs. Tasks to be solved: evaluation of the analytical (parametric), direct (transient), as well as the identification method using the 3-D model of the control object. Methods used structural and parametric identification of dynamic objects; the determination of static and dynamic characteristics of mathematical models by the type of their transient process; the System Identification Toolbox package of the MatLab environment, the Flow Simulation subsystem of the SolidWorks software and the X-Plane software environment. The experimental parameters of UAV flights, as well as the results of modeling in three-dimensional environments, are the initial data for the identification of mathematical models. The following results were obtained: the possibility of analytical and computer identification of mathematical models by highly noisy parameters of the UAV flight was shown; the mathematical models of UAVs obtained after identification is reliable and adequately reproduce the dynamics of a real object. A comparative analysis of the considered UAV identification methods is conducted, their performance and efficiency are confirmed. Conclusions. The scientific novelty of the result obtained is as follows: good convergence, reliability and the possibility of using the considered identification methods for obtaining mathematical models of dynamic objects to synthesize algorithms for automatic control systems of UAVs is shown.
