small unmanned aerial vehicles, troop protection, organizational and technical measures to protect troopsAbstract
Based on the analysis, a conclusion has been made that the use of small unmanned aerial vehicles on the battlefield affects the enemy capabilities. The authors have substantiated the need for the Ukrainian Defense Forces to gain an advantage in the context of using small unmanned aerial vehicles on the battlefield. It has been found that gaining such advantages involves not only intensifying efforts to use friendly small unmanned aerial vehicles, but also focusing on protecting troops from enemy small unmanned aerial vehicles.
The main areas of military activity crucial for protecting troops from small unmanned aerial vehicles have been outlined. In view of this, the authors have analyzed the problematic issues and identified ways to improve the protection of troops in the conditions of the enemy use of small unmanned aerial vehicles.
