Abstract
This article discusses the employment of unmanned aircraft systems in crisis management in Poland after 2007. The conceptual framework and organization of crisis management in Poland is presented as an introduction to further discussion. This article then analyses capabilities of various categories of unmanned aircraft systems taking into account specific requirements of crisis management. This article also points at preliminary lessons learned from employment of unmanned aircraft systems for crisis management in Poland in recent years. Due attention is paid to missions and the organization of employment of unmanned aircraft systems in crisis management operations. Perspectives of employing unmanned aircraft systems in crisis management are presented in the final part of the article.
Highlights
Unmanned aircraft systems offer unique capabilities to crisis management as they increase the safety of rescue teams and the effectiveness of overall response to crisis situations
Natural disasters have been occurring in Poland more and more frequently in recent years
Unmanned aircraft systems offer unique capabilities that may be useful in crisis management
Summary
Unmanned aircraft systems offer unique capabilities to crisis management as they increase the safety of rescue teams and the effectiveness of overall response to crisis situations. The article introduces conceptual framework of crisis management in Poland and discusses the capabilities of unmanned aircraft systems in the context of requirements related to crisis management. Research papers published in Polish after 2016 focus almost exclusively on the employment of unmanned aircraft systems in firefighting operations. The employment of such systems in crisis management in Poland has been mentioned in official press releases, internet news and publicly available documents related to crisis management. A preliminary analysis and assessment of the employment of unmanned aircraft systems in crisis management in Poland seems desirable and may be viewed as a departure point to further research in this field
