Abstract

The long-term perspectives in the potential development plan are based on the analysis of trends in global development. On this basis, an assessment of the requirements for future military capabilities is made. The long-term trends caused by the development of military technology are viewed. As a result, the use of robotic systems will increase in the armed forces. All this poses new challenges for the EU armies. In this regard, groups of factors can be distinguished which shape the trends in the development of military UAVs. And since technology will inevitably be transferred from the military to the civilian sphere sooner or later, it would be particularly useful for national security to analyze which of the areas of application of UAV complexes could be of greatest benefit in the civilian sphere and in the interests of national security.

Highlights

The Capability Development Plan reviews military capabilities the EU must be capable of by 2030
An analysis on the areas of application of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) complexes would be useful for national security and eventually bring the highest benefits in the civilian sphere and in the interests of national security
According to the authors of the document, the nature of air fighting will not change significantly in the future. It will include unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and cruise missiles, which will lead to prolonged air operations "in a more complex environment"

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The Capability Development Plan reviews military capabilities the EU must be capable of by 2030. This is not surprising given the lack of a unified armed force in the EU, which requires the ability to interact in joint operations This task is of particular importance, according to the document in "high intensity conflicts". According to the authors of the document, the nature of air fighting will not change significantly in the future It will include unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and cruise missiles, which will lead to prolonged air operations "in a more complex environment". The resulting image is superimposed on a digital terrain model, after which the data can be used to measure distances, define areas, as a substrate for overlaying other data (Terziev, Nichev, 2017c-i; Terziev, Nichev, Bogdanov, 2017jk; Terziev, Madanski, Georgiev, 2017l-m)
