Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In modern applications, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are widely used in various industries such as logistics, agriculture, environmental monitoring, and emergency services. However, their operation is highly dependent on weather conditions, including wind speed, temperature, precipitation, and atmospheric pressure. The unpredictability of meteorological factors poses significant risks to the safety and efficiency of UAV flights. This study proposes an intelligent weather prediction system for UAV flight planning, based on big data and machine learning technologies. The research examines modern methods of meteorological data processing, incorporating satellite imagery, IoT sensors, and historical records. To predict key weather parameters, advanced deep learning algorithms such as Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) are utilized. The developed system achieves a forecast accuracy of up to 92%, reducing flight planning time by 30% and enhancing overall operational safety. The integration of machine learning into UAV weather prediction systems ensures adaptability and enables rapid responses to changing climatic conditions. The obtained results highlight the significance of artificial intelligence and big data analytics in aviation. Additionally, this work suggests future research directions, including the consideration of additional environmental factors such as air quality and solar radiation, as well as the potential integration with autonomous flight management systems.
