Drones started to be very popular and visible in the last two decades. Those more and more sophisticated, cheaper in production and exploitation technologically advances air and land based platforms are entering new domains of people’s life very progressively. At the present it is not so easy to fully predict to what purposes drones could be used in the future. We are usually consider them as unmanned platforms to be used by armed forces or national security related services to enhance their capabilities to create safe and secure environment. Nowadays we see new solutions and applications everyday. It is assessed that drones utilization is an opportunity to be exploited for both civilian purposes and their growing presence in airspace is unstoppable process. The variety of application will grow extremely quickly as of new technological discoveries and innovative approach of designers. The growing density in the air is causing the urgent need to enhance legal coverage to avoid incidents as those are a danger now and that aspect will be more serious in the future. The paper is composed of two major parts. The first is focusing on current and future applications of drones and the second one is discussing dangers toward using unmanned aerial vehicles requiring legal solutions national and globally. The purpose of the paper to present drones applications as an advantage but also a risk for national and private security along with requirements for formalizing their utilization within legal frameworks.
