Acoustic impact of unmanned aerial vehicles on the environment

Abstract

The development of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology has raised concerns about increased noise levels and their impact on the environment. One of the key issues is the trade-off between the proximity of the UAV to the target to obtain accurate data and the need to remain undetectable by reducing noise levels. The noise levels of modern UAVs vary depending on the model, and reducing the acoustic footprint has become a top priority for manufacturers.
