Abstract

Today, application of aerial vehicles can be considered as a routine task in the field of disaster management, in particular flood prevention, aerial reconnaissance, radiological detection, search and rescue and air rescue have got a significant role. Professionals may receive useful information by applying aerial reconnaissance technologies. Data transmitted by these aerial vehicles can greatly support the work of the personnel involved in prevention, protection and reconstruction tasks. One of the essential parts of the aerial reconnaissance is a tool applied on the UAV/UAS which is capable to take pictures and to record videos. In this article the author examines the adaptability of unmanned aerial vehicles during the elimination of the consequences of possible disasters, particularly the aerial reconnaissance of damaged sites. The author also introduces the historical development of these appliances, their types, design and performance.
