Studies of Unmanned Aircraft Systems from the Perspective of Operational Use

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) have been used for a long time to improve situational awareness for many parties. During last 30 years UAVs role has received more attention and interest in global perspective. There are many reasons how and why this has occurred. This paper highlights those issues; why this matter is important and considerable. When discussing about situational awareness and real time picture, we should remember that many parties need these issues when they are working. Especially decision makers and their assistants need to know what is happening in the field. For that reason, it is noteworthy to focus on one of the most important way how to accelerate making of situational awareness and real-time picture. This is one of the components how to do it and why we need it. Keywords—Public Safety, Real-time awareness, Real-time picture, Situational awareness, Unmanned Aerial System, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.
