Assessing the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles' Surveillance Problems and Actual Solution Options from the Different Stakeholders' Viewpoint

The problems related to the integration of the unmanned aerial vehicles into national airspaces is one of the main topics that the scientific researchers are dealing with these days. Despite that, none of them are investigating the UAVs from the surveillance point of view. For that reason, highlighting the problems that have to be dealt with and assessing them through a holistic approach is the aim of the paper. Therefore, the paper takes the different stakeholders view and identify the key factors that have to be taken into account. The authors propose the surveillance technologies that can be considered and evaluated them along the revealed factors through a global view. The results can be applied as a base for the further research in UAVs surveillance domain.

The main focus of this paper is the capabilities of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles as a military logistic support in conflicts areas. The conducted research addresses the problems of traditional military delivery methods. Next, the problem of using UAVs only for civilian purposes is considered. The paper begins with short elucidation of logistic support and further provides the classification of logistic materials and discusses five categories of military equipment from the logistics point of view. Next, the paper discusses the characteristics of the parameters and properties of the chosen existing UAVs that are used for the delivery of materials. Consequently, a comparison of the UAVs is carried out, and new technologies for logistic transport are presented. This paper is concluded with the claim that it is necessary to modernize the process of logistic support in the military.

Abstract Background: Embedded systems are a ubiquitous part of modern civilisation. Trends point to further intensification of their use. In this article we discuss long-term implications of that process, from the point of view of systems science. Objectives: On a general level, we relate embedded systems to a general class of objects and argue about their role in human life. On a somewhat more specific level, we consider in more details the development of unmanned aerial vehicles. Methods/Approach: In order to achieve the set objectives, we conducted inductive theoretical considerations and presented the results in this section. Results: The hierarchy of notions relating human civilization to environment is established, and embedded systems are positioned within it. Conclusions: Broadening and intensification of the use of embedded systems is a gradual process, heavily intertwined with societal changes. The case study of the development of the unmanned aerial vehicles reveals the potentials of the concept of embedded systems, also in the area of human resources management

Development of a lean and automated progress tracking system is one of the most challenging subjects in the construction industry. Since the current methods depend on individual and manual inspections of the site, they may have various problems. For instance, results include a natural bias since field personnel makes interpretations depending on their educational and expertise level. From the practical point of view, manual data collection and their comparison with construction drawings and schedules are inefficient as it takes too much time. With the recent advancement of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) into the market and inclusion of lean project management principles, project management studies are inclined towards the digital and lean approaches. Within this perspective, the objective of this study is to reveal the use of UAVs as a lean project management tool. This paper indicates merely that UAVs have the potential for such a purpose.

The emergence and development of machine learning technologies, unmanned aerial vehicles, 3D-modeling technologies integrated with the concept of "smart construction" significantly expand the possibilities of creating and applying the concept of an effective logistics system for building production at the stage of construction and installation works. At the same time, there is a need to develop a model for creating, processing, storing, issuing and visualizing information on the state of construction production from the point of view of the material and technical support system. The article formulates and considers the concept in the form of electronic automated model with the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, presents the mechanism of monitoring and control of construction and installation works and logistics. The capabilities of unmanned aerial vehicles, such as visual inspection of buildings, measurements of structures, monitoring of the construction process, control of work performed, monitoring of the timing and cost of work, etc. were determined. Advantages and disadvantages of this system are revealed. The concept developed on the basis of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles makes it possible to create a 3D model, compare its graphic and digital characteristics with the project, identify deviations and defects, the amount of material and technical resources necessary for the uninterrupted construction process, automate and reduce the cost of the process of logistics.
