Regulatory Landscape of Unmanned Aerial Systems in the Selected Countries in European Union: an in-Depth Analysis and the Imperative for Harmonization

In recent years, Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) have surged in popularity, promising transformative applications across diverse sectors. Nevertheless, their rapid and widespread adoption poses significant challenges in the realm of regulatory frameworks. This study undertakes a comparative analysis of domestic regulations in selected countries. The primary objectives are to meticulously assess these norms, identify commonalities, and delineate disparities. The findings unveil shared aspects, as well as divergent approaches to UAS regulation among individual member countries, accentuating the pressing necessity for enhanced harmonization of regulations at the EU level. Such an endeavor provides a profound understanding of the legal landscape surrounding UAS, ultimately contributing to the responsible integration of this technology across all sectors.
