Widespread utilization of civilian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is a new challenge for air traffic control. The reason to initiate research in that domain was a series of UAV’s flights near manned aircraft, including commercial ones, which happened in the airspace of many countries. In Poland, such an incident caused the need to conduct a deep analysis of the matter in the study. The incident occurred on 21st July 2015 at the Okęcie airport in Warsaw causing amazement but also a real threat in particular as drones are easily accessible. The unidentified drones have already landed within the area of nuclear power stations, military units and even a highly secured interior of the White House. Therefore, a challenge is rather significant. It could lead to undermining the security of air traffic, but at the same time also to terrorists’ attacks, violation of privacy, sabotage including acts against critical infrastructure. It is necessary to study the issue and this paper could be the basis for further research.
