Currently, there is a rapid increase in interest in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). These devices can be used as platform for carrying various sensors, often enabling access to hard-to-reach areas using traditional, ground-based methods. Very popular sensors used in non-invasive search work include Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). The combination of the above sensors with UAVs is becoming increasingly common, which provides many benefits in many areas, such as archaeology, forensics, agriculture, rescue, terrain mapping, or landmine detection. This article is a synthetic review of the principle of operation and the use of technologies such as LiDAR and GPR, as well as their use on unmanned flying platforms. Issues related to the use of these sensors on various UAV configurations and the resulting conditions of work are discussed. The differences between LiDAR and GPR are also discussed, as well as the possible analysis of the examined area using both technologies to obtain the best effect. The implementation of these non-invasive search methods is not a threat to traditional searches in the form of excavations, but only a method preceding invasive research. Thanks to such an innovative approach, the effectiveness of such work is increased by narrowing the excavations area.

Obecnie obserwuje się szybki wzrost zainteresowania bezzałogowymi statkami powietrznymi (UAV). Urządzenia te mogą być wykorzystywane jako platformy do przenoszenia różnych czujników, często umożliwiając dostęp do trudno dostępnych obszarów dla tradycyjnych metod naziemnych. Do bardzo popularne czujników, stosowanych w nieinwazyjnych pracach poszukiwawczych zalicza sięskaning laserowy(LiDAR)oraz georadar (GPR). Połączenie powyższych czujników z platformami UAV staje się coraz powszechniejsze, co zapewnia wiele korzyści wwielu dziedzinach, takich jakarcheologia, kryminalistyka,rolnictwo, ratownictwo, mapowanie terenu czy wykrywanie min lądowych. Niniejszy artykuł stanowi syntetyczny przegląd zasady działania i wykorzystania technologii takich jak LiDAR i GPR, a także ich zastosowania na bezzałogowych platformach latających.Omówiono zagadnienia związane z wykorzystaniem tych czujników na różnych konfiguracjach UAV i wynikającymi z tego warunkami pracy. Omówiono również różnice między LiDAR i GPR, a także ewentualną analizę badanego obszaru przy użyciu obu technologii w celuuzyskanianajlepszegoefektu.Wdrożenie tych nieinwazyjnych metod poszukiwawczych nie stanowizagrożeniadla tradycyjnych poszukiwańw formie wykopalisk,a jedynie metodę poprzedzającą te badania. Dzięki tak nowatorskiemu podejściu zwiększa się efektywność prac poszukiwawczych poprzez zawężenie obszaru wykopalisk.
