The paper presents the technologies currently available on the market in the field of anti-drone systems (C-RPAS -Counter Remotely Piloted Aircraft System). These include technologies with the help of radar, audio interception systems or via infrared and electro-optical devices, which are limited in remote sensing. The purpose of this paper was to highlight the multitude of factors that can influence the main mission of C-RPAS systems, the detection. Without detection the other features of a C-RPAS system could not be applied. I used specialized documents and studies, but also comparative analysis as research methods. The results of the study confirmed to me the hypothesis that anti-drone systems use in combination, one or more of the technologies (to detect, to recognize, to identify, to locate, to block, to capture or to destroy the drone). The first four (the detection, the recognition, the identification, the localization) are in the basic configuration for any C-RPAS system. In the future, there will be a challenge (for the producers of C-RPAS systems), the capture of the RPAS, especially the military ones. It is also important to prepare the operators / beneficiaries for such systems. They can influence the effectiveness of drone combat missions.
The unauthorized flights of the RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft System) represent serious threats to the security of the aircraft with human crew on board, to the security of the troops in the theatre of operations as well as to the critical infrastructures and why not to the security of the civilian population. The purpose of the study was to identify which events have occurred recently related to RPAS and which of these represent real challenges to security and defense. Specific regulations and standards are not enough to control the RPAS phenomenon. I used specialized documents and studies, information and conclusions presented by the media, comparative analysis as research methods. Also, I highlighted the risks represented by RPAS. I have presented in chronological order some of the events that have taken place lately related to the use of RPAS, to demonstrate their wide spectrum of use. Even if several C-RPAS systems are installed (for anti-drone protection), an important area cannot be secured if you do not have enough systems capable of covering the entire restricted airspace. The development of anti-drone systems (C-RPAS) is rapidly required.
