The general analysis was done of requirements for communication during of medical doctors work in extreme conditions, including locations of military activity. The tasks were determined – it was the need to create reliable stable mobile communication for their work; in the locations where there is no coverage, such communication can be organized using drones, and formation of complex of drones and ground base stations. So, the purpose was stated - to find solutions how to develop technologies to ensure high-quality communication with the use of unmanned aerial vehicles in extreme conditions in Ukraine. Numerous prototypes, including patents, were examined and analyzed. Several different schemes for organizing of mobile communications in cases where conventional wireless networks are vulnerable were observed (due to military operations, natural disasters, extreme situations). We have described some possibilities for the restoring of communications using a number of technological solutions based on the use of drones in extreme conditions. The possibility of software or hardware tools for replacing fixed base stations in wireless network with unmanned aerial vehicles were observed. It was proposed to use such tools in two ways: 1) either temporarily to replace fixed base stations with unmanned aerial vehicles; or 2) on permanent basis, f.e., in geographical locations where the terrain makes it difficult to place fixed base stations (impossible due to dangers of military operations, extreme situations, etc.) Such solutions can help to minimize also great damages of the war to our medicine, agriculture, nature in general.
