Abstract

Characteristic of today's tactical operations is used on a large scale of various military equipment, which is characterized by a high degree of technical sophistication and complicated construction.Under the current conditions, achieving and maintaining success in combat is connected with the necessity of securing and supporting appropriate technical execution potential, guaranteeing them to perform maintenance tasks, reconnaissance tasks, evacuation tasks and technical supply, in such a way that unlicensed equipment can return to the grouping and be used again in fight.Correct use of the evacuation and repair potential requires precise data on: the health of the crew; the degree of damage to the equipment; the scope of necessary corrective actions necessary to restore its technical suitability, approaches and surroundings with damaged equipment. Obtaining the necessary information is possible thanks to the activities undertaken as part of technical reconnaissance.Solutions should be sought that will enable technical operations to be carried out on as many damaged equipment as possible in the shortest possible time and distribution of information to the appropriate components of the technical security system in order to make the best use of their executive potential.New possibilities in the field of technical reconnaissance are offered by the development of various types of unmanned aerial vehicles, whose role in many armies is constantly growing. In the leading allied armies, the development of unmanned combat and support systems is one of the strategic priorities for the development of armed forces.

Keywords: Military logistics, battlefield maintenance, technical recognition, unmanned aerial vehicles.
