The character of missions and conditions in which they are carried out by military unmanned aerial vehicles are usually special and difficult. This causes a necessity to provide support for their missions, especially with regard to checking their condition on the controlled or autonomic flight path, especially during landing and take-off operations. This paper offers an account of an experiment and an attempt of assessing usefulness of thermal imaging cameras for controlling flights of aerial vehicles, mainly in areas of airdromes and approach paths.

Charakter i warunki misji statków powietrznych w operacjach wojskowych są specyficzne i trudne. Powoduje to konieczność zabezpieczenia ich działań w aspekcie kontroli sterowanego lub autonomicznego lotu, zwłaszcza podczas startów i lądowań. Artykuł stanowi opis doświadczenia oraz próbę oceny przydatności kamer termowizyjnych do kontroli lotu statków powietrznych, szczególnie w obszarach lotnisk i torów podejściowych.
