THE ROLE OF UAV SYSTEMS IN ENSURING BORDER SECURITY IN REMOTE AREAS

This article analyzes the role of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems in ensuring border security in remote areas. The rise of illegal crossings, contraband, and transnational crime in the modern border environment diminishes the effectiveness of traditional guard methods. The study examines the reconnaissance and surveillance capabilities of UAV systems, their ability to transmit data in real time, and their role in increasing the effectiveness of border control. The experience of the special unit of the Border Troops of the State Security Service of the Republic of Uzbekistan equipped with Bayraktar TB2 UAVs, as well as the border infrastructure integrated with video surveillance systems and fiber-optic communication lines, is analyzed. The legal foundations for the application of UAV systems and directions for their improvement are substantiated.
