Item description from seller

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are aircraft with no on-board crew or passengers. They can be automated 'drones' or remotely piloted vehicles (RPVs). UAV's can fly for long periods of time at a controlled level of speed and height and have a role in many aspects of aviation. The first pilotless vehicles were developed in Britain and the USA during the First World War. Britain's Aerial Target, a small radio-controlled aircraft, was first tested in March 1917 while the American aerial torpedo known as the Kettering Bug first flew in October 1918. Although both showed promise in flight tests, neither were used operationally during the war. During the inter-war period the development and testing of unmanned aircraft continued. In 1935 the British produced a number of radio- controlled aircraft to be used as targets for training purposes. It's thought the term 'drone' started to be used at this time, inspired by the name of one of these models, the DH.82B Queen Bee. Radio-controlled drones were also manufactured in the United States and used for target practice and training. Reconnaissance UAVs were first deployed on a large scale in the Vietnam War. Drones also began to be used in a range of new roles, such as acting as decoys in combat, launching missiles against fixed targets and dropping leaflets for psychological operations. This book provides an overview of the basic concepts and components of UAVs, the various sensors used, architecture of autonomous UAVs, communication tools and devices to acquire real-time data from UAVs, the software needed to analyze the UAV data, required rules and regulations to fly UAVs, various application areas. Contents Introduction History of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Military Aircraft Autonomous Aircraft Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Drones Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and Computer Control Systems Unmanned Ground Vehicles and Military Robot Warfare.
