Hazards, Risks and Selected Security Problems in Unnmaned Aircraft Vehicles Operations

Abstract This article pertains to hazards and risk as well as selected security problems in unmanned aircraft vehicles operations from legal and policy perspective. It covers regulations concerning drones, statistics, safety promotion in drone sector and key risk areas. In the current world, there is a need for new legal provisions and technical solutions that will bring stability and security to public airspace. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, more reliable hardware, and efficient software, new threats for the public domain are emerging that we have never faced before. The usage of UAVs is limited only by human imagination. It is already used in search and rescue (SAR) missions (increasing search coverage and reducing the risk of rescuers), the professional movie industry (creating breathtaking shots), or the agricultural sector (plants optimization). Hence the need to identify key safety and security concerns that might disrupt such operations.
