ASSESSMENT OF CAPABILITIES OF FIRE-FIGHTING UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS TO EXTINGUISH FIRES IN HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS USING LADDER TRUCKS (ELEVATING PLATFORM TRUCKS)

The article deals with the issue of expanding the capabilities of fire units to extinguish fires in high-rise buildings and structures using unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). The relevance of the topic is due to the need to find ways to achieve the maximum height of fire extinguishing using a hose line for supplying fire extinguishing agents to the fire seat from ground sources taking into account the existing payload capacity of modern or promising unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). There are evaluated the capabilities of solving this problem using ladder trucks (elevating platform trucks) to support part of the hose line in order to unload the UAV.
