Abstract
The subject of this paper is the issue of legal regulations of unmanned aircrafts and their usage for civil purposes. In the first part of the paper we will discuss the term and the concept of unmanned aircrafts, and how legal regulations of the Republic of Croatia are defining the term unmanned aircrafts. We will then give a brief review of the history of unmanned aircrafts. In historical analysis, we will focus on the evolution of unmanned aircrafts and their ever growing usage for civil purposes, as well as on the problems that today’s society and legislation have to face because of that. In the second part, we will perform a detailed analysis of the legislation on unmanned aircrafts of both the Republic of Croatia and of the European Union. We will also mention and analyse the different ways in which countries of the European Union intend to resolve their legal differences in regulating this matter. Finally, in the third section, we will discuss the question of usability of unmanned aircrafts for civil purposes with emphasis on agriculture and analyse the future of unmanned aircrafts outside of the military sector.
