Introduction

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), known as

a drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot.

Drone stand for Dynamic Remotely Operated

Navigation Equipment.

Its flight is either controlled autonomously by

computer or under the remote control of pilot

on the ground.

Birth of UAV’s

The earliest attempt at a powered unmanned

aerial vehicle was A.M. Low’s “Aerial Target ”

of 1916.

After world war-I, including the first scale

Remote Pilot Vehicle, developed by the film

star and model airplane by R. Denny in 1935.

The birth of U.S. UASV’s began in 1959 when

United State Air force offers , concerned about

losing pilots over hostile territory.

UAV is a “SYSTEM”

These are the Commercial UAV’s used in the entertainment and logistic area.

In December 2013, the DHL parcel service

subsidiary of Deutsche Post AG tested a

"microdrones md4-1000" for delivery of

medicine.

SUB-System of UAV’s

Communications:-

Operates on ultra high frequency

Communicates with ku-band system

Operates with uplink frequencies from 15.15 to 15.35 GHz.

Navigation :-

Avionics use satellite based system such as GPS.

It calculate position automatically.

Monitoring :-

Includes GPS system.

High resolution video camera

Super high resolution still camera

Collision avoidance system:-

Use traffic and collision system

Smaller aircraft use simple traffic alerting system

Aircraft use ground proximity warning system

Weather system :-

Use whether radar and lighting detector system

Uses of UAV

In counter terrorism activity

In commercial surveillance

In oil, GAS and mineral exploration &

Production

In transport

In scientific research

In armed attacks

In Search & Rescue

Advantages:

Does not contain or need a qualified pilot on

board

Can enter environments that are dangerous to

human life

Reduces the exposure risk of the aircraft operator

Performing visual or thermal imaging of region

Measuring cell phone, radio or TV coverage over

any terrain

Can be programmed to complete the mission

autonomously even when contact with its gas is

lost

Disadvantage:

Angers Many People In Foreign Countries

Can Be Hacked Or Given Viruses

Too Small For Transportation Of Materials

Low Resistance To Weather

Cannot Refuel In Flight

If Connection Is Lost With The Ground Station,

The Vehicle May Be Lost.
