Abstract

Large European airports have now been forced to close several times due to the disruption of their protected area by drones. The biggest incident in terms of damage and restrictions clearly includes the attack of 19 and 21 December 2018 on one of the largest airports in Europe, London - Gatwick. All air traffic was interrupted, and flights were canceled and postponed. It was only a matter of time before drone technology was used by terrorist organizations and other criminals for their attacks. The article discusses the dangers that drones can cause. It describes the various basic categories of drones, their historical development, and the beginnings of the misuse of drones by terrorist organizations. The types currently used by the armed forces in the war in Ukraine are also mentioned. Furthermore, the article deals with systems that aim to eliminate this threat and which are available to companies and individuals financially. Thus, drone defense systems were selected and compared with a detailed description of their detection and destruction methods. The article concludes that a modern anti-drone defense for soft targets has already been developed and a set of recommendations for their combination and implementation follows.
