Tek poslednjih godina smo svedoci kako se evolutivni proces sa napretkom tehnologije pretvorio u pravu revoluciju. Sukob u Nagorno-Karabahu 2020, predstavljao je jednu od prekretnica u pogledu primene ove distruptivne tehnologije u borbene svrhe. Kao nikada do sada masovna upotreba borbenih dronova nije presudno uticala na ishod jednog konflikta. Zbog značaja koji pomenuti sukob predstavlja izvršena je SWOT analiza mogućnosti primene borbenih dronova u lokalnim konfliktima. Izvedeni zaključci mogu pomoći kako u razumevanju ishoda sukoba tako i u definisanju pravca kojim će se kretati dalja primena ovih borbenih sistema u budućnosti.

Assessment of the Equivalent Level of Safety Requirements for Small Uavs
ASSESSMENT OF THE EQUIVALENT LEVEL OF SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR SMALL UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES by © Jonathan D. Stevenson, B.Eng., M.Eng. A Doctoral Thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science Memorial University of Newfoundland June 2015 St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador ABSTRACT The research described in this thesis was a concentrated effort to assess the Equivalent Level of Safety (ELOS) of small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), in terms of the requirements needed for the small UAV to be considered at least as safe as equivalent manned aircraft operating in the same airspace. However, the concept of ELOS is often quoted without any scientific basis, or without proof that manned aircraft themselves could be considered safe. This is especially true when the recognized limitations of the see-and-avoid principle is considered, which has led to tragic consequences over the past several decades. The primary contribution of this research is an initial attempt to establish quantifiable standards related to the ELOS of small UAVs in non-segregated airspace. A secondary contribution is the development of an improved method for automatically testing Detect, Sense and Avoid (DSA) systems through the use of two UAVs flying a synchronized aerial maneuver algorithm. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author was supported financially through the National Sciences and Research Council of Canada, including the generous granting of a Canadian Graduate Scholarship. RAVEN flight operations of the Aerosonde UAV would not have been possible without the financial support from the Atlantic Canada Opportunity Agency and our industrial partner, Provincial Aerospace Limited (PAL). -

Author, in the first part of article, presents terminology and classifications of the UAVs, as well as, the main criteria of the classification which are: thrust, purpose, weight, and range/endurance. The second part of the article is dedicated to military technology. In that part of the article, author presents possible kind of utilization of the UAVs, presenting in the more details military drones. In description of the drones is also part of initial conclusions addressing to the challenges new doctrine and battlefield strategy.

'Precise' Strikes: Fractured Bodies, Fractured Lives
Israel’s drone wars: An update ‘Precise’ strikes: Fractured Bodies, Fractured Lives Front Cover image: Israel’s Heron TP drone at Tel Nof Air Force base, February 2010. Credit: UPI/Debbie Hill. Note: The term ‘drone’ is used interchangeably with ‘Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)’ Drone Wars UK is a small British NGO established in 2010 to undertake research and advocacy around the use of armed drones. We believe that the growing use of remotely-controlled, armed unmanned systems is encouraging and enabling a lowering of the threshold for the use of lethal force as well as eroding well established human rights norms. While some argue that the technology itself is neutral, we believe that drones are a danger to global peace and security. We have seen over the past decade that once these systems are in the armoury, the temptation to use them becomes great, even beyond the constraints of international law. As more countries develop or acquire this technology, the danger to global peace and security grows.
