This paper discusses hardware and software prototype of multi-agent system for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) group action planning. We describe the approach for system implementation as a whole and software agents within the system. The aim of current and future developments is creation of complex scientific and technical solutions for coordinated planning and actions management of heterogeneous UAV groups in real time.
