Abstract


Capabilities of the modern fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft give an advantage in many aspects of warfare, however the same aircraft can bring about unintended damage and casualties. The unwanted effects of air operations attract more attention from the public opinion comparing to other means of military services. The real problem in military conflicts is to keep the risk to civilian population at the lowest level possible. Modern weapon systems can help to lower the level of collateral damage.
