REGULATION OF THE USE OF UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES: INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR UZBEKISTAN

The proliferation and development of unmanned aerial vehicle technology is complicating regulatory issues in this industry. This study is aimed at in-depth study of the international practice in the field of use of UAVs, analysis of certain situations in the legislation of the airspace of Uzbekistan, and development of recommendations for the formation of an effective regulatory system. As part of the study, the legal framework of the USA, the European Union, China and other leading countries on the regulation of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles was thoroughly studied. Also, the statistics of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, the purposes of their use and cases of violations of the law were also studied in the period 2019-2023. The current achievements, practices and existing problems in the legal regulation of this field in Uzbekistan were also analyzed. According to the results of the research, the existing approaches to regulating the use of UAVs do not fully adapt to modern technological changes. The reasons for the emergence of various risks associated with the development of new technologies were studied. The article develops new recommendations for the effective control and safe use of UAVs.
