Establishment of a System for the Transport of Goods by Unmanned Aircraft

Abstract

Delivery of goods by air using unmanned aerial vehicles is one of the many potential applications of unmanned aerial vehicles. The problem in the operationalization of this type of use of unmanned aircraft is, on the one hand, the limitation in the legal regulations and, on the other hand, the lack of a unified system of control, management and servicing of unmanned aircraft. The paper describes a model of a unique, integrated system of control, management and servicing of unmanned aircraft that can be logistically supported by an extensive network of small airports in the Republic of Serbia. The economic profitability of this way of delivering goods is correlated with the real needs of the market with the efficiency and effectiveness of delivery on the principle of “today for today”.
