Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems Study (2012)

This document is developed in the framework of the European efforts to achieve an effective understanding of
the global land and maritime external border domain through the collection, integration and dissemination of
appropriate information, intelligence and development of knowledge. The document addresses those questions
through the analysis of to what extend the RPAs systems fulfil the operational requirements for maritime and
land surveillance. Border surveillance operational requirements and system performances are analysed to
identify best fitting solution(s), jointly with an assessment of costs.
