mjr. Ing. Mário Malatinec from the Flight Safety Department of the Air Force Headquarters will explain the rules for flying unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in the vicinity of military airports as stated in the amendment to the Act on the Armed Forces of the Slovak Republic no. 321/2002 Z. z.. Moreover, as drones become more and more affordable, he will talk about the increase in the number of UAS flights without a permit, the inability of the Slovak Republic to respond flexibly due to current legislation, and the impact of such UAS flights on air traffic safety.

Vladimír Kulpa and Matúš Grega from AOS SR will introduce the Training Organization for Unmanned Aircraft Systems operators, its position and operations, and its incorporation into the structure of AOS. They will also talk about the contents and designation of the certified course for members of the Department of Defense in BUQ I and BUQ II, the authorization and competences of a UAS operator within Armed Forces, and the potential for a training organization for BUQ III and BUQ IV and the expansion of its capacity by implementing synthetic training environment for both fixed and rotary wings.

The CAMCOPTER® S-100 is the most advanced tactical rotary wing Unmanned Air System available on the market. The majority of the more than 400 produced units operate in the Defence and Security sector, for e.g. border surveillance and Search and Rescue. Ľuboš Šrámek will introduce this technology and its use in his presentation.

As usage of unmanned aerial systems is getting more and more, so are the counter measures. Technically, skilled adversary will avoid the usage of standard off-the-shelf products at all costs. In conclusion, the ability to do full spectrum passive RF Drone detection and full spectrum RF mitigation is crucial, when speaking about cUAS. True to our motto „Seeing is believing” the unique capabilities of AARONIA AARTOS cUAS will be unveiled live within the presentation of Stephan Kraschansky.

Tasty coffee will be available for conference participants throughout the event.

Ákos Haramia from the company Aliter Technologies will introduce methods of using drones in supervision of large events using traditional and tethered drones, in securing connections in densely populated places or in places with no signal.

Since flying drones nowadays is affordable for almost everyone, a lot of misuses is detected by e.g. critical infrastructure operators, due to clueless, careless, but also criminal drone operators. Reliable UAV detection and smart countering, but also the capability to distinguish between approved and unauthorized flights are key to success. Heiko Nissen from Rohde & Schwarz will tell the conference participants more about this topic.
