%X <span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Improving the rail
transport security requires development
and implementation of neoteric monitoring and control facilities in conditions
of increasing speed and intensity of the train movement and high level of terrorist threat. Use of Earth remote sensing
(ERS), permitting to obtain information from large areas with a sufficiently
high resolution, can provide significant assistance in solving the mentioned
problems. This paper discusses the possibility of using various means of remote
sensing such as satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), also known as
drones, for receiving information in different ranges of the electromagnetic
spectrum. </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">The paper states that joint using of both these means gives new
possibilities in improving railroad security.</span>
