Abstract The paper presents the technologies currently available on the market in the field of anti-drone systems (C-RPAS -Counter Remotely Piloted Aircraft System). These include technologies with the help of radar, audio interception systems or via infrared and electro-optical devices, which are limited in remote sensing. The purpose of this paper was to highlight the multitude of factors that can influence the main mission of C-RPAS systems, the detection. Without detection the other features of a C-RPAS system could not be applied. I used specialized documents and studies, but also comparative analysis as research methods. The results of the study confirmed to me the hypothesis that anti-drone systems use in combination, one or more of the technologies (to detect, to recognize, to identify, to locate, to block, to capture or to destroy the drone). The first four (the detection, the recognition, the identification, the localization) are in the basic configuration for any C-RPAS system. In the future, there will be a challenge (for the producers of C-RPAS systems), the capture of the RPAS, especially the military ones. It is also important to prepare the operators / beneficiaries for such systems. They can influence the effectiveness of drone combat missions.

Abstract The unauthorized flights of the RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft System) represent serious threats to the security of the aircraft with human crew on board, to the security of the troops in the theatre of operations as well as to the critical infrastructures and why not to the security of the civilian population. The purpose of the study was to identify which events have occurred recently related to RPAS and which of these represent real challenges to security and defense. Specific regulations and standards are not enough to control the RPAS phenomenon. I used specialized documents and studies, information and conclusions presented by the media, comparative analysis as research methods. Also, I highlighted the risks represented by RPAS. I have presented in chronological order some of the events that have taken place lately related to the use of RPAS, to demonstrate their wide spectrum of use. Even if several C-RPAS systems are installed (for anti-drone protection), an important area cannot be secured if you do not have enough systems capable of covering the entire restricted airspace. The development of anti-drone systems (C-RPAS) is rapidly required.

This article focuses on two fundamental human–human teamwork behaviors and seeks to understand them better in human–machine teams. Specifically, team situation awareness (TSA) and team conflict are examined in human–machine teams. There is a significant need to identify how TSA and team conflict occur during human–machine teaming, in addition to how they impact each other. In this work, we present an experiment aimed at understanding TSA and team conflict in the context of human–machine teaming in a remotely piloted aircraft system (RPAS). Three conditions were tested: (1) control: teams consisted of all humans; (2) synthetic: teams consisted of the pilot role being occupied by a computational agent based on ACT-R architecture that employed AI capabilities, with all other team roles being humans; and (3) experimenter: an experimenter playing the role of the pilot as a highly effective computational agent, with the other roles being humans. The results indicate that TSA improved over time in synthetic teams, improved and then stabilized over time in experimenter teams, and did not improve in control teams. In addition, results show that control teams had the most team conflict. Finally, in the control condition, team conflict negatively impacts TSA.

Using remote sensing methods to capture environmental contamination is very relevant not only to Lithuania, but also to the whole of Europe. The article examines the Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) and its components, in particular aircraft (UAV) mounted camera sensors. From the type of sensor depends what can be identified in the photo. The article presents the geographic informational (GIS) modeling system CALMIM with which the experimental modeling of the landfill territory has been performed. UAV aerial photos captured, modeling described and data analysis carried out.

The integration of remotely piloted aircraft system in non-segregated airspace requires a significant effort and new methodologies to underway this challenge. This paper develops a methodology to assess the impact of remotely piloted aircraft system integration by applying safety metrics in tactical planning. This methodology builds five modules to simulate remotely piloted aircraft system introduction in a conventional-aircraft schedule: Base scenario, path modelling, conflict detection, temporary-blocking window and safety metrics. The safety metrics quantify the safety state of the operation by the number of conflicts, the conflict severity and the airway availability. This last safety metric represents a step forward in the decision-making process because it provides the airway risk-suitability to integrate remotely piloted aircraft system. Moreover, the temporary-blocking window underlies the airway availability metric. This concept provides temporary restrictions to the integration of remotely piloted aircraft system depending on the entry times of the conventional aircraft. Finally, this methodology is applied in an air traffic volume of the Spanish upper airspace. Different simulations were performed by introducing remotely piloted aircraft system covering every airway of the airspace. Results provided the temporary-blocking windows that specified the temporary restrictions to remotely piloted aircraft system introduction as a function of the airway flown by the conventional aircraft. Furthermore, the methodology appraised the airway availability characterising the airways depending on the risk impact by the remotely piloted aircraft system.
