Abstract. The article proposes a target architecture for a hybrid orbital-ground communication network for seamless network-centric control of unmanned systems, including unmanned aerial vehicles. Hybrid orbital-ground communication networks consist of a ground segment, including hybrid networks, and a satellite segment, including satellite communication networks consisting of spacecraft in low, medium, high, and geostationary orbits. The application of the architecture provides predictable latency, session continuity, and fault tolerance for long-distance data transmission in challenging radio environments. The key mechanism is multi-orbit routing with channel selection policies based on traffic class (“control,” “sensors,” “video”) and line availability forecasts. Special emphasis is placed on the “Honest Space” system, which provides for the certification of payloads, telemetry, and ground stations.
Keywords:hybrid networks, hybrid orbital-terrestrial networks, unmanned system, unmanned aerial system, Honest Space, digital objects architecture, multi-service satellite technologies, geospatial awareness services, multi-orbit routing.

Abstract. It is proposed in the current paper a design of stegosystem (SGS) providing covered embedding of information in images. Both video f and still images files can be taken as the cover objects. The feature of such SGS is that, unlike other SGSs, it allows to exchange undetectability not for the embedding rate but for the hardness of embedding procedure. It is given the performance evaluation in terms of reliability of data extraction, SGS undetectability and the volume of message embedding. The use of quantum computers is considered as a measure of embedding decreasing complexity.
Keywords: steganography, cryptography, images, hashing, error correcting codes, quantum computers.

Abstract. This paper addresses the problem of image classification using images captured by a camera mounted on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). An immune computing method is proposed for this task, which is characterized by lower computational resource requirements compared to other known classification techniques. A comparative analysis of the results obtained from machine learning algorithms and neural networks is presented. The experimental evaluation utilized the HIT-UAV image dataset. Among the methods examined, the immune computing approach demonstrated the highest accuracy, achieving an average classification accuracy of 0.79.
Keywords: immunocomputing; signal processing; machine learning; data analysis.

Abstract. This paper presents the development of a simulation model for a MIMO-OFDM system, which incorporates five heterogeneous transmission modes and a proactive control algorithm for switching between them. The performance of each mode is quantitatively evaluated based on the metrics of bit error rate and spectral efficiency under various channel conditions. Furthermore, to ensure the practical feasibility of the high-throughput modes, corresponding detection techniques were analyzed. Consequently, an efficient method based on the Neumann series expansion is proposed to reduce their computational complexity.
Keywords: MIMO, OFDM, adaptive system, space-time block coding, spatial multiplexing, LDPC code, V-BLAST, LMMSE.

Abstract. The paper studies the effect of the time shift of the start of the direct discrete Fourier transform relative to the beginning of the useful (information) part of the OFDM symbol and the offset of the OFDM signal carrier frequency on the magnitude of the modulation error rate RMER and the bit error rate BER when compensating for subcarrier frequency distortion for different types of modulation and protection levels. The paper estimates the permissible values of these parameters, ensuring that the BER does not exceed 10–4, as required by the standard for comfortable reception in the digital radio broadcasting system DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale).
Keywords: OFDM signal synchronization, digital broadcasting, DRM, E-stability mode.
