The paper considers the use of a granulated solid fuel engine as a propulsion system for an unmanned aerial vehicle, which will be able to solve different kinds of problems in extreme conditions (extreme temperatures and low oxygen content). Vari-ous schemes of propulsion system using granulated solid fuel have been developed and proposed: gas turbine and rocket-turbine engines (screw and jet type). The optimality criteria for the granular solid fuel are determined. The fuel components of the en
