Abstract
In this paper we describe application of the method of physical processes simulating to build a swarm of drones. We show that this method provides the construction of a swarm of drones in the form of a crystal lattice with specified parameters. We found those additional conditions that make it possible to assemble a swarm of disparate drones. We have proposed an algorithm that allows assembling a swarm with minimal costs using a simple measuring complex.

Key words
UAV, self-organization, physical processes simulating, crystal lattice, swarm robotics, sensors for UAV.
