Background. This article considers the problem of ensuring the safety of complex systems by preventing cases of penetration of terrorist and sabotage groups into them in order to commit terrorist and extremist crimesusing small unmanned aerial vehicles (SUVs). Materials and methods. Radio-controlled SUVs are currently becoming more and more technologically advanced and affordable devices for the mass buyer. At the same time, they pose an increased danger to many existing objects. SUVs are constantly being improved and gaining more capabilities. They have increased battery life, increased payload, control range from the remote control and other important parameters. All this contributes to the expansion of the list of threats emanating from drones. Results and conclusions. The conducted analysis of the capabilities of the MUAV showed the need to develop methods for detecting and combating them.
