Abstract

An investigation has been conducted on how unmanned aerial vehicles can overcome the limitations in large-scale disasters and complex scenarios, particularly in terms of flexible deployment in the field, efficient surveillance, and accurately positioning in hard-to-reach areas, starting with an overview of the main requirements for surveillance tasks. Additionally, the current problems faced by these technologies, as well as potential future development directions aimed at further increasing the role of unmanned aerial vehicles in the collection of surveillance and reconnaissance data, have been discussed. As technologies advance and the application areas of unmanned aerial vehicles expand, it has been highlighted that special attention must be given to legal, ethical, and privacy issues related to their use. It has also been emphasized that it is crucial to develop the use of unmanned aerial vehicle systems in defense and security activities carried out in complex conditions.Another shortcoming of UAVs is that the performance of the electro-optical and infrared devices, which are intended for surveillance, depends directly on meteorological conditions (fog, mist, evaporation, season, and air clarity). The performance of the optical system is most affected by factors such as clouds and high humidity.
