Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) for Extreme Missions in the Arctic and the Monitoring of the Ukraine Crisis by the Organization for Security and Co-Operation in Europe (OSCE)

Abstract

Arctic conditions and the territorial politico-economic crisis in Ukraine are two different types of extreme conditions, where civilian authorities need to use Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) to support manned processes and other information systems. Due to the lack of adequate research and publications, best practice may remain unshared. Therefore authorities may not be aware of potential rewards and knowledge sharing is also restricted. This paper is a contribution to the research and development of innovatory ideas in order to better attach RPASs to the activities of authorities and related information systems, helping them fulfill their duties.
