The article considers the task of ensuring the efficiency of synergistic information-measuring and control systems. A structural scheme of synergistic information-measuring and control system based on multi-agent technologies has been developed and a decomposition of goals has been presented. For the heterogeneous group of unmanned aerial vehicles involved in search and rescue operations in the emergency zone, control algorithms based on the use of synergies have been proposed. It is shown that the synergistic effect lies in the joint interaction of diverse unmanned aerial vehicles of a heterogeneous group. Calculations are given and graphs are constructed, that illustrate the operation of a heterogeneous group of unmanned aircraft in normal mode and in the event of failure of one of the unmanned aerial vehicles. It has been proven that the group is able to complete the task due to the synergistic effect.
