Low, Slow and Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (LSS UAVs) are one of the fastest-growing threats for national defense, security and privacy. A NATO task group performed a study to identify the elements necessary to define LSS models applicable for the development of necessary countermeasure to potential threats in the future. The goal of this project is to utilize this data collected by the NMSG-154 study to generate a Web Ontology Language (OWL) ontology for LSS threat modeling. The LSS ontology will form the basis for a metamodel for a domain-specific language (DSL) based on the parameters identified. This DSL will eventually be used to generate specific simulation scenarios to model potential threats caused by small drones.

The OWL Enhance prototype has been developed to augment ontologies implemented using the Web Ontology Language (OWL) with richer relation semantics. This prototype interactively elicits knowledge from providers to describe the intrinsic nature of relations and appends these elicited semantics to definitions of relations in OWL ontologies. Benefits from the explicit specification of the intrinsic nature of relations in ontologies include the development of quantitative techniques for the estimation of similarities among relations and attribute exploration techniques to create relation taxonomies. Examples of these techniques have been implemented in modules of the OWL Enhance prototype to demonstrate the utility of explicit relation semantics. Results from testing these modules on high-level and domain-specific ontologies are presented and analyzed with respect to the potential use of relation semantics to increase the fidelity of knowledge representation, as well as the potential for reuse and interoperability of knowledge on the Semantic Web.

AbstractThis paper describes an approach to modelling a general-language wordnet, GermaNet, and a domain-specific wordnet, TermNet, in the web ontology language OWL. While the modelling process for GermaNet adopts relevant recommendations with respect to the English Princeton WordNet, for TermNet an alternative modelling concept is developed that considers the special characteristics of domain-specific terminologies. We present a proposal for linking a general-language wordnet and a terminological wordnet within the framework of OWL and on this basis discuss problems and alternative modelling approaches.

<abstract> <p>Over time, the use of UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles)/drones has increased across several civil and military application domains. Such domains include real-time monitoring, remote sensing, wireless coverage in disaster areas, search and rescue, product delivery, surveillance, security, agriculture, civil infrastructure inspection, and the like. This rapid growth is opening doors to numerous opportunities and conveniences in everyday life. On the other hand, security and privacy concerns for unmanned aerial vehicles/drones are progressively increasing. With limited standardization and regulation of unmanned aerial vehicles/drones, security and privacy concerns are growing. This paper presents a brief analysis of unmanned aerial vehicle's/drones security and privacy-related concerns. The paper also presents countermeasures and recommendations to address such concerns. While laying out a brief survey of unmanned aerial vehicles/drones, the paper also provides readers with up-to-date information on existing regulations, classification, architecture, and communication methods. It also discusses application areas, vulnerabilities, existing countermeasures against different attacks, and related limitations. In the end, the paper concludes with a discussion on open research areas and recommendations on how the security and privacy of unmanned aerial vehicles can be improved.</p> </abstract>

Unmanned aerial vehicles are used for a wide range of fire protection tasks, includ-ing search and rescue operations. Today, unmanned aerial platforms patrol coastal zones, par-ticipate in road incidents patrolling, and perform many other tasks in various areas of the infra-structure, economy, etc. The Military Fire Protection Inspectorate organizes, supervises, and conducts rescue operations in divisions supervised by Ministry of National Defense. Due to advanced technology, FlyEye unmanned aerial vehicles effectively help to eliminate fire risks in military units and other organizational units.

Nowadays, the creation of remotely-piloted aerial vehicles for various purposes is regarded as one of the most relevant and promising trends of aircraft development. FAU "25 State Research Institute of Chemmotology of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation" have studied the operation features of aircraft piston engines and developed technical requirements for motor oil for piston four-stroke UAV engines, as well as a new engine oil M-5z/20 AERO in cooperation with NPP KVALITET, LLC. Based on the complex of qualification tests, the stated operational properties of the experimental-industrial batch of M-5z/20 AERO oil are generally confirmed.
