USE OF REMOTELY PILOTED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS IN AIRPORT OPERATIONS

Abstract

The article addresses a possible use of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) in airport operations. The following processes are of interest: the perimeter surveillance, biological protection, and surface inspection of movement areas. Firstly, we analyzed current state of selected processes at the Vaclav Havel Airport Prague. Secondly, the implementation of RPAS into the processes is evaluated along with defining tasks and ways of their integration.
