COUNTERING THE THREAT OF UNMANNED AERIAL SYSTEMS TO CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

It has been observed that unmanned aerial systems (UASs), have been used in a very different way over time including both the malevolent and benevolent usage. Today, technologicaly developed society, demands regular provision of resources vital for own functioning whilst being heavy sensitive on its disruption. Unmanned aerial systems could pose a threat to facilities critical to the functioning of the population and the government. Having in mind their abilities, the ways they could be used malovolently is practically unlimited. Nowdays, ensuring the acceptable level of security for critical infrastructure includes the counter-UAS system as well. This paper proposes a method for building a security system for encountering the malevolent usage of UAS and allows effectiveness of the C-UAS to be assessed.
