FEATURES OF THE USE OF UNMANNED AIRCRAFT FOR MONITORING THE COAST LINE OF THE SEA COAST

Abstract

The materials of the article reveal the features of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles for controlling the coastline of the sea coast. In the article, it is determined that in order to preserve the lives of personnel and perform tasks related to operational control and reconnaissance of the coastline of the sea coast, unmanned aerial vehicles of various types began to be actively involved.
 The purpose of the article is to reveal the features of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles for monitoring the coastline of the sea coast. The article reveals the essence and content of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles for reconnaissance of the coastal strip of the sea coast, as well as the conditions and features of their effective use according to various options for tactics.
 The main principles of using unmanned aerial vehicles as part of air reconnaissance units during control of the coastline of the sea coast are: constant high level of readiness to perform tasks; concentrating efforts on the enemy's active areas of activity; clear interaction with units of the Maritime Guard of the State Border Service of Ukraine (border units, mobile groups); high activity, decisiveness and suddenness of actions.
 The article describes the main ways of using unmanned aerial vehicles, namely: route flight; air search; accompanying the enemy. It is determined that the method of using unmanned aerial vehicles is specified by the senior chief (commander) or determined by the unit commander when making a decision to fly and use an unmanned aerial vehicle. The method of application of flight performance can be changed based on the situation in the area of responsibility in a specific period of time. At the same time, the features of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles during the day, at night, at extremely low altitudes and above the water surface are revealed.
 The article emphasizes that all flights for the purpose of controlling the coastline of the sea coast should be carried out with the maximum use of the camouflage properties of the terrain and, if possible, in the morning hours of the day. It was determined that further scientific research in this field is seen in the procedure of combining control of the coastal strip of the sea coast with reconnaissance and search for mines and explosive objects on land and water surface.
