Abstract

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), in its annual report in 2018, noted an unprecedented increase in the use of small unmanned aircrafts (UAS), which represents a serious challenge for regulators in terms of safety and security. Moreover, there is a general trend in the filing of special requests to the ICAO for preparing of harmonizing documents in the field of legal regulation of drones. According to recent research, both in Russia and abroad, drones are used in more than 50 sectors of the economy to solve more than 450 commercial tasks, which allows companies to increase profits, reduce costs, and optimize many processes. The TOP 5 areas of drone use include: medicine & health care; oil and gas industries; protection of nature reserves and forests; urban planning and surveying; delivery of light cargo by transport companies.

At the same time, considering the current practice, many specialists note the limited applicability of the tools provided for by UN Convention on International Civil Aviation and traditional air regulations in case of UAS, and the urgent need for further efforts to create specific rules and regulations.

At present, considering the increasing frequency of drone use, two main areas can be identified: civil (commercial, recreational) and public (state bodies for monitoring and monitoring compliance with legislation, military). The purpose of this study is to analyze the general state of legal regulation on the use of drones for public administration purposes, as well as to determine its main parameters and possible differences/deviations from the rules applicable for commercial use. The authors also formulate the basic principles that should allegedly become the basis for drafting of special rules for the public use of drones to ensure the necessary level of security and the required efficiency – to achieve the public goals by their using.
