Abstract

The use of modern drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), is rapidly increasing in both civilian and military fields. Drones are used for topographic surveying, infrastructure monitoring, emergency rescue operations, and many other important tasks. The successful operation of these mechanisms largely depends on increased flight safety.
One of the serious risks when flying at low altitudes, in cities, in rural areas, especially along coastlines or near forests, is bird strikes. Bird strikes between drones and birds are a growing threat that not only cause damage to the drone itself, but can also result in bird fragments being thrown by the propeller onto a person or structure, creating potential for harm.heir aerodynamic stability, engine power, flight route sel.
Therefore, the safe operation of drones requires not only a high technological level and management, but also the implementation of environmentally friendly and intelligent protection systems. Prevention of collisions with birds is one of the priority tasks, which is becoming more and more relevant today, given the widespread use of drones.ection, and many other factors.
