    An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is an aircraft that can operate without the presence of pilots, either through remote control or automated systems. The first part of the dissertation provides an overview of the various types of UAVs and their design features. The second section delves into specific experiences using UAVs as part of an automated monitoring system to identify potential problems such as pipeline leaks or equipment damage by conducting airborne surveys.Lighter-than-air UAVs, such as airships, can be used for various applications, from aerial photography, including surveying terrain, monitoring an area for security purposes and gathering information about weather patterns to surveillance. The third part reveals the applications of UAVs for assisting in search and rescue operations in disaster situations and transporting natural gas. Using PowerSim software, a model of airship behaviour was created to analyze the sprint-and-drift concept and study methods of increasing the operational time of airships while having a lower environmental impact when compared to a constantly switched-on engine. The analysis provided a reliable percentage of finding the victim during patrolling operations, although it did not account for victim behaviour. The study has also shown that airships may serve as a viable alternative to pipeline transportation for natural gas. The technology has the potential to revolutionize natural gas transportation, optimizing efficiency and reducing environmental impact. Additionally, airships have a unique advantage in accessing remote and otherwise inaccessible areas, providing significant benefits in the energy sector. The employment of this technology was studied to be effective in specific scenarios, and it will be worth continuing to study it for a positive impact on society and the environment

    This article represents an effort to investigate the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or \u2018drone\u2019 as patrolum service, bringing together its diverse forms, current and projected uses and legal challenges it raises, with a view to its large-scale capabilities for searching and identifying people. The relatively tight focus of contemporary recognition systems allows the use of this technology for searching of individuals. Now the degree of surveillance coverage in time and space that the UAV allows is having important effects, drones are increasingly being used in vast array of civilian and governmental situations. Application of drone\u2019s usage in public places increases the chance that individuals will come under scrutiny from faraway aircraft without knowing it; there is apprehension in the use of domestic drones due to several safety and privacy concerns. After the introduction, the paper describes the overall features of propagation of drone usage from military to civil purposes; then, in section 3 description of the airship solution is carried out. In the next section, legislative problems are determined for UAVs and the airship basing civilian airspace regulation. Finally, the conclusions of the study are drawn
