Abstract: Artificial intelligence methods have been actively developed in recent decades and are widely used in various fields of technology, industrial production, security, information processing, linguistics, scientific research, and many others. Currently, AI technology is the defining direction in the task of creating modern UAV control systems. Characteristic features of an intelligent system are the presence of a goal setting, the ability to manage system resources to build a strategy to achieve the goal, and feedback to control the results of their actions. This article presents an overview of such AI applications as UAV mission planning, application of AI methods for UAVs engaged in civil engineering and agriculture, space systems, UAV trajectory planning, ensuring UAV reliability and autonomy, for implementation of onboard control systems, computing aspects of UAV control and their groups, including organization of communication between them.

Keywords: artificial Intelligence, UAV, civil engineering, agriculture, space systems, trajectories planning, reliability, autonomy, onboard control, computations, communication, education.
