Abstract

The European Defense Agency (EDA) is the key institution of the European Union in the implementation of the Common Security and Defense Policy (CSDP) resource provision measures. The Agency has set objectives in the field of military resource development, defense research and development, pan-European cooperation projects on armaments, strengthening the industrial and technological structure and as a key direction, the creation of a joint competitive market for military and dual-use products. Significant progress has also been made in the area of unmanned aerial vehicles (Remote Piloted Aircraft Systems, RPAS). The aim of the project is to introduce unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) into the internal airspace. The Agency coordinates the interaction of the UAV national operators, the European Commission represented by the Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport and the European UAV Leading Group. Keywords: European defense agency, military integration, unmanned aerial vehicles, European cooperation projects.

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The EOA is the key institution of the European Union in implementing CSDP resource provision measures. An analysis on the UAVs research development shows that the key features that determine the appearance and combat utilization of promising aeronautical systems for unmanned combat aerial systems are: Utilization of joint combat use of both manned aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles in a combined structure of the tactical aviation; Ensuring the safe flight operations of UAVs in civil airspace including the possibility that the UAV can return and land with unused weaponry payload; Allocation of control functions between the operator located in the control center and the on-board system for automatic control of UAVs; Providing sufficient situational information required for use-of-force decision making
