Comparative analysis of russian and foreign experience of unmanned aerial systems state regulation

Nowadays, there have been various fields of human life and economic activity used unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned aerial systems (UAS) based on them. The capabilities of modern UAVs allow them to become participants in air traffic, which implies regulation of their creation and use by the state. However, regarding rapidly developing technologies, state regulators do not always keep pace with transforming realities in their decisions, both in the Russian Federation and in other countries of the world. The paper considers state regulation issues of the UAS development, their certification, registration, operation, as well as ensuring the safety of use in Russia and abroad in order to assess the possibilities for further development of legislation to achieve a compromise between the needs of the state, private business and citizens in this field.
