Özet
Unmanned aerial vehicles are
defined as systems that can fly without a pilot and can be managed remotely.
UAV and UAV system are defined separately in the UAV Instructions of the
General Directorate of Civil Aviation of Turkey (SHGM). Advances in unmanned
aerial vehicle technologies have triggered the emergence of new terms
describing these systems. 19th century It has been observed that UAVs have been
used effectively in many battles in the period from the first air attack with
hot air balloons, defined as UAVs, in the first half to the present day. UAV
systems have a wide range of uses, including civil-commercial, military,
twin-mission, research, scientific and developmental. The use of UAVs,
especially in the military field, has played the biggest role in the
development of UAV technologies. When the powerful armies in the world,
especially NATO countries, are examined, it is seen that they have many and
diverse UAV systems. In the study, classification approaches made by
international institutions and organizations that are binding on many countries
in terms of determining a common standard worldwide on UAVs were examined.
These institutions and organizations; The North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the European
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), the International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO) and the Turkish Civil Aviation General Directorate (SHGM). In the
studies carried out by these institutions, it has been examined whether the
classification factors and values are made according to which classification
factors and whether they are inclusive in terms of all kinds of UAVs. It has
been seen that the classification studies are more suitable for the UAV systems
used in the civil-commercial field rather than the UAVs used in the military
field. For this reason, a classification approach has been proposed for the UAV
systems used in the military fields, in accordance with the mission these
systems undertake in the battlefield and the unit levels performing this task.
The proposed classification approach is based on NATO's UAV classification
approach, which is the most widely used and accepted worldwide, and the
classification parameters selected by considering the UAV systems in the
Turkish Armed Forces inventory and the organizational structure used by the
Air-Land-Navy Forces and battlefield effectiveness. was created. It was
evaluated that this study contributed to the literature with the classification
study, which is a first for UAVs used in the military field.
