Abstract

U doba tehnološkog napretka, sustavi za zaštitu od besposadnih letjelica postali su ključni element nacionalne i privatne sigurnosti, suočavajući se s izazovima koje donose inovacije u području bespilotnih zračnih sustava (UAS). U radu su definirani ključni pojmovi vezani uz besposadne letjelice, uključujući NATO klasifikaciju koja bespilotne letjelice razvrstava prema veličini, dometu, visini leta i težini, omogućujući precizno razumijevanje različitih tipova letjelica i njihovih potencijalnih prijetnji. Osim toga, rad detaljno opisuje C-UAS (Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems) sustave, koji su dizajnirani za detekciju, identifikaciju, praćenje i neutralizaciju UAS-ova. Analiza obuhvaća različite tehnologije i pristupe uključene u C-UAS sustave, uključujući radare, RF senzore, optičke senzore i laserske sustave, istražujući njihove prednosti, nedostatke i primjenu u realnom svijetu. Taksonomija sustava za detekciju i neutralizaciju detaljno je istražena, pružajući uvid u metodologiju razvoja i implementaciju tih sustava u zaštitu kritične infrastrukture i visokorizičnih područja. Usporedba različitih pristupa i tehnologija osvjetljava napredak u području C-UAS tehnologija, naglašavajući inovacije i izazove s kojima se suočavaju istraživači i praktičari u borbi protiv rastuće prijetnje besposadnih letjelica. Rad zaključuje važnost kontinuiranog razvoja i prilagodbe C-UAS sustava u svjetlu dinamičnog napretka tehnologije besposadnih letjelica.

Abstract (english)

In the era of technological advancement, systems for protection against unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become a key element of national and private security, facing challenges brought by innovations in the field of unmanned aerial systems (UAS). The work defines key terms related to unmanned aerial vehicles, including the NATO classification that sorts unmanned aircraft by size, range, flight altitude, and weight, enabling a precise understanding of the various types of vehicles and their potential threats. Furthermore, the work thoroughly describes C-UAS (Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems) systems, which are designed for the detection, identification, tracking, and neutralization of UAS. The analysis covers various technologies and approaches included in C-UAS systems, including radars, RF sensors, optical sensors, and laser systems, exploring their advantages, disadvantages, and real-world applications. The taxonomy of detection and neutralization systems is thoroughly investigated, providing insight into the methodology of development and implementation of these systems in protecting critical infrastructure and high-risk areas. Comparing different approaches and technologies highlights progress in the field of C-UAS technology, emphasizing the innovations and challenges faced by researchers and practitioners in combating the growing threat of unmanned aircraft. The work concludes the importance of continuous development and adaptation of C-UAS systems in light of the dynamic advancement of unmanned aircraft technology.
