Summary/Abstract: This research examines the role of situational awareness (SA) in decision-making, safety, risk management, and operational efficiency in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operations. In accordance with Endsley's three-level model, the study underscores the dynamic nature of SA and its impact on safety and efficiency. The following areas of SA significance in UAV operations have been identified: decision-making, risk management, operational efficiency, adaptability, technology integration, training, environmental monitoring, emergency responses, and regulatory compliance. As UAV technology continues to advance, the incorporation of sophisticated safety and effectiveness enhancing SA capabilities will become increasingly vital. In conclusion, it can be stated that SA is of great importance in determining the future direction of UAV technology and its applications
