Abstract

Recent days there are many projects of UAV urban applications, moreover, although in different habited area. Several concepts like urban drone taxi, flying boards, flying bikes, etc. are in phase of prototype system test and evaluation. As part of the modern robotization, UAVs are in the focus of attention of numerous scientists. UAVs, as special platforms are widely used by the Military in different scenarios and different flight missions. Capabilities of UAVs used in non-military applications (i.e. Police applications, disaster management applications, border control, firefighter applications, etc.) will serve well the idea of UAV 3D (Dirty-Dull-Dangerous) application. The purpose of the author is to derive those low altitude UAV flight regimes when low altitude flight automation in necessary due to flight safety aspects, or, due to any existing regulations, and, finally, find and propose flight paths of the UAV better fitting given mission of the UAV.
