Although a significant amount of work has been carried out for visual perception in the context of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), not so much has been done regarding auditory perception. The latter can complement the observation of the environment that surrounds a UAV by providing additional information that can be used to detect, classify, and localize audio sources of interest. Motivated by the usefulness of auditory perception for UAVs, we present a literature review that discusses the audio techniques and microphone configurations reported in the literature. A categorization of techniques is proposed based on the role a UAV plays in the auditory perception (is it the one being perceived or is it the perceiver?), as well as a set of objectives that are more popularly aimed to be accomplished in the current literature (detection, classification, and localization). This literature review aims to provide a concise landscape of the most relevant works on auditory perception in the context of UAVs to date and provides insights into future avenues of research as a guide to those who are beginning to work in this field.

The end of the world bipolar division has reduced the likelihood of a threat of an atomic conflict, but at the same time it has released dormant conflicts. From that time, the phenomena that are not new, but their frequency, intensity, impact on human society have caused a change in the way they are perceived. In this context it is clear, that to ensure the sovereignty of the European airspace and specifically the one of the Slovak Republic, as a member of NATO, is the first priority task of the Air Force missions. To accomplish this, there will be significantly increased the requirements for processes automatization within Air C2 systems, in order to keep the necessary level of interoperability and to utilize and exploit both combat and reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles.

In recent years the use of UAVs (Unmanned aerial vehicles) have proliferated in the civil sector for purposes such as search and rescue, remote sensing or real-time monitoring of road traffic, among others. In the architecture, engineering and construction fields (AEC) UAVs have demonstrated to be an ideal technology due to their optimal performance in terms of time, precision, safety and cost. Given the rapid growth of interest in this technology, this research presents a critical review of the literature on the use of UAVs in architecture and urbanism to define the most widely used techniques and delimit the fields of application based on the experimentation published by the scientific community. A scientific mapping was carried out in two stages using the VOSviewerTM software: a scientometric and a bibliometric analysis. This technique allowed us to analyse a large body of literature and bibliographic data to obtain trends, patterns and directions of this domain of knowledge. Then, a literature review was presented, highlighting the relevant information identified in the previous analysis. The fields of application of UAVs were delimited and the most commonly used payload types and the most appropriate post-processing techniques were specified, depending on the aerial mission objective. The fields of application identified included different techniques related to the generation of 3D models, land mapping, construction site monitoring, building surveying to detect structural damage and energy losses and urban remote sensing. The literature review showed that UAVs provide a useful multi-tasking tool at any stage of an architectural project. These techniques can be applied to buildings or public spaces from the design and construction processes when the project is initiated to the later stages of maintenance and inspection of the building during its life cycle.

Persistent surveillance is one of the major tasks envisioned for unmanned aerial vehicles in that some regions of interest need to be continuously surveyed. This distinction from the one-time coverage/exploration does not allow a straightforward application of the most exploration techniques to address the persistent surveillance problem. This article introduces and demonstrates a method of alterable artificial potential field to control a group of unmanned aerial vehicles to stay over the region of interest. We present attractive potential field to drive the unmanned aerial vehicles to desirable areas, obstacle potential field to move away from obstacles, collision avoidance potential field to control unmanned aerial vehicles not to collide with others, and formation of potential field to make unmanned aerial vehicles gather in a group. The simulation results show that the proposed approach could generate collision-free path for unmanned aerial vehicles staying over the region of interest for a long endurance.

Satellite monitoring systems can be used for remote monitoring of the atmosphere over a given area but they do not provide information on the state of pollution at a given time. Additional information could only be obtained after several days. Measurements from an aircraft may be obtained almost at real-time and in different geometries – vertical and horizontal. The future of this type of monitoring is remote-controlled unmanned aerial vehicles (airplanes, helicopters and balloons tethered), equipped with telemetric monitoring.

Control Management

Delivery of goods by air using unmanned aerial vehicles is one of the many potential applications of unmanned aerial vehicles. The problem in the operationalization of this type of use of unmanned aircraft is, on the one hand, the limitation in the legal regulations and, on the other hand, the lack of a unified system of control, management and servicing of unmanned aircraft. The paper describes a model of a unique, integrated system of control, management and servicing of unmanned aircraft that can be logistically supported by an extensive network of small airports in the Republic of Serbia. The economic profitability of this way of delivering goods is correlated with the real needs of the market with the efficiency and effectiveness of delivery on the principle of “today for today”.

Modern War

The article reveals the features of modern military conflicts waged with the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (drones). Author traces the transformation of identity of fighters participating in high-tech wars. While the identity of combatants in conventional wars can be described with “killing- being killed” structure, post-heroic drone warfare leads to the formation of a split identity: on the one hand, a combatant reliably protected from mortal risks and threats, on the other hand, his defenseless victim. Author also studies the features of panoptic surveillance carried out with the drones. It is shown that modern war is entering the phase of unprecedented asymmetric confrontation, which cannot be overcome solely by technical means.
