APPLICATION PROSPECTS OF A UAV-BASED MONITORING SYSTEM FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE STATE BORDERS OF THE REPUBLIC OF AZERBAIJAN

Abstract

Reliable protection of state borders is one of the key components of the national security system. In modern conditions, border security is no longer limited to physical barriers, observation posts and patrol services. Technological development has changed the nature of border protection and has made it necessary to manage surveillance, detection, warning, decision-making and response measures in a more flexible manner.
