Abstract |
The subject of this study is the process of the formalized selection of fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for specific missions using an ontology-based decision support system (ODSS) and the methods for analyzing the economic effectiveness of its implementation. The relevance of the research is attributed to the rapid expansion of UAV platform varieties, the heterogeneity of their tactical, technical, and operational characteristics, and the need for prompt, well-grounded decision-making under conditions of incomplete and contradictory information. The aim of the study is to develop a methodology for assessing the economic efficiency of using an ODSS for mission-oriented UAV selection, treating it as an investment project that accounts for life-cycle costs and expected economic benefits. To achieve this aim, the following tasks were addressed: analyzing the current state of ontology-based and multi-criteria approaches to UAV selection; developing a total cost of ownership model for the ODSS; identification of the structure of direct and indirect economic benefits resulting from its application; developing an algorithm for calculating integrated efficiency indicators; and presenting a numerical example demonstrating the practical application of the proposed methodology. The research results consist of a development formalized methodology that integrates domain ontology modeling with discounted economic analysis tools and enables quantitative assessment of the effects of reducing the labor input required for UAV selection and mitigating expected losses caused by erroneous decisions. The conclusions confirm that an ontology-based decision support system can be considered not only as a tool for improving the quality of UAV selection, but also as an economically viable investment. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the formalization of the economic effect of using an ODSS in UAV selection tasks. The practical significance of the results lies in the applicability of the proposed methodology for the techno-economic justification of the implementing ontology-based decision support systems in research organizations, aviation enterprises, and UAVs operators. |
