Abstract

The purpose of the article is to identify the directions of legal regulation and organizational support for the use of non-pilot air vessels in Ukraine, both for civilian and law enforcement purposes by the National Police. Methodology. To achieve this goal, methods of legal forecasting, system analysis, comparative-legal, formal-logical, system-structural were applied. The empirical basis of the research is the works of domestic and foreign scientists who have studied the theoretical issues of legal regulation and organizational support for the use of drones. The scientific novelty of the
obtained results is that the article further reflected the scientific opinion on the development of legal regulation and organizational support for the use of unmanned aerial vehicles in Ukraine for both civilian and law enforcement purposes by the National Police. In particular, such directions are: to implement the adopted EU rules for the operation of unmanned aerial vehicles in the current legislation of our country with the definition of a state body that will carry out the procedure (certification) of such vessels; regulation of the introduction of electronic warfare with unmanned aerial vehicles over the territory of airports and other objects; expand the range of equipment that can be used by law enforcement and military to combat unmanned aerial vehicles; unification of training programs for the training of unmanned aerial vehicles operators by law enforcement agencies; legally regulate the usage of unmanned aerial vehicles by regional bodies and units of the National Police Ukraine; carry on measures to identify unmanned aerial vehicles in the zones. Conclusions. On the basis of the existing gaps in the regulatory and legal regulation of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles in civil and law enforcement spheres, the directions for legal regulation and organizational support of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles in Ukraine are outlined, as well as amendments and supplements to certain normative legal acts are proposed. The adoption of which would help regulate the powers of law enforcement agencies to counter the unlawful use of unmanned aerial vehicles.
