UAV’s are becoming more and more active in the modern battlefield; there is no question about it, these types of aircraft are in the proliferation state because of the low costs and relatively good life/cost benefits. To address the modern problem of UAV’sa word comes to mind that is survivability. Survivability is the ability of the UAV platform to perform ingress, fly over the target area (including weapon release and guidance) and egress while being subjected to threats. It is nearly impossible to address the survivability of only one subsystem, the aspect has to be treated as a hole, although most modern studies are concentrating on the susceptibility of the unnamed aircraft. Susceptibility and vulnerability reduction are key factors in the further development o of UAV’s. The paper discusses the necessary steps for implementing the survivability concept for modern UAV.
