Risk Assessment of Unmanned Aircraft Systems Usage

Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) have established themselves as one of the most promising technologies for supporting activities in disasters and emergencies. They provide rapid access to information, real-time monitoring, and the ability to operate in risky and hard-to-reach areas, while reducing the danger to human personnel. Their widespread use proves their role as a reliable addition to traditional methods of crisis response and management.

The book presents an in-depth analysis of existing aviation risk assessment models and their applicability to UAV operations. The author develops a new analytical method based on fuzzy logic that assists in selecting the optimal flight platform and payload according to specific conditions and constraints. Key factors such as meteorological influences, technical characteristics, and interaction with other participants in the disaster area are considered.
