Unmanned aerial vehicles in maritime industry

Ovaj rad predstavit će bespilotne letjelice, njihov povijesni razvoj te njihovu trenutnu primjenu u pomorstvu. Bespilotne letjelice, poznatije kao dronovi (engl. UAV − Unmanned Aerial Vecihle) , u prošlosti su većinom bile korištene u vojne svrhe, ali danas se sve više koriste u komercijalne i civilne svrhe. Upotreba bespilotnih letjelica zahvaća područja pomorstva, poljoprivrede, nadzora granica, dostave paketa, spašavanje ljudskih života, sprječavanje požara itd. Cilj ovog rada jest objasniti važnost korištenja bespilotnih letjelica u pomorstvu te opisati sustave (ViDAR; EO950) koji svojim djelovanjem povećavaju sigurnost na moru. Također, unutar rada bit će predstavljene i trenutno najrasprostranjenije bespilotne letjelice u pomorskoj industriji.This paper contains basic data on unmanned aerial vehicles, their development throughout history and their current use in maritime industry. Unmanned Aerial Vecihles (UAVs), known as drones, were mostly used for military purposes in the past, but are now increasingly used for commercial and civilian purposes. The use of unmanned aerial vehicles affects the areas of maritime affairs, agriculture, border control, package delivery, saving lives, fire prevention, etc. The aim of this paper is to explain the importance of using unmanned aerial vehicles in the maritime indusrty, and to describe systems (ViDAR; EO950) which increase safety at sea. The most common unmanned aerial vehicles in the maritime industry are also described
