INTRODUCTION
• Drones are also referred as UAV: Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
• It is an aircraft without an onboard pilot, thus the name
‘unmanned’ aerial vehicle
• It’s
flight is either pre-defined or controlled autonomously by
computers or under the remote control of a pilot on the
ground.
BRIEF HISTORY OF UAV
• The birth of U.S. UAVs began in 1959 when United States Air
Force officers were concerned about losing pilots over hostile
territory and they thought of unmanned flights.
• In the
year 1964, U.S Navy initiated America’s highly classified
‘Red Wagon’ UAVs into their first combat missions of the
Vietnam war.
SUB-SYSTEM OF UAV
• Aerodynamics
• Payload
• Endurance
• Speed and range
• Communications
• Navigation system
• Launch and recovery
CLASSIFICATION OF UAVS
UAVs typically fall into one of six functional categories:
• Target and decoy – providing ground and aerial gunnery a target that
simulates an enemy aircraft or missile
• Reconnaissance – providing battlefield intelligence
• Combat – providing attack capability for high-risk missions
• Logistics – UAVs specifically designed for cargo and logistics
operation
• Research and development – used to further develop UAV
technologies to be integrated into field deployed UAV aircraft
• Civil and Commercial UAVs – UAVs specifically designed for civil and
commercial applications
APPLICATIONS OF UAV
• ‘Predators’, operating
between 18,000–29,000 feet above sea
level, performed search and re scue and damage assessment.
SPORTS
• Drones were used in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi for
filming skiing and snowboarding events
• Some advantages of using unmanned aerial vehicles in sports
are that they allow video to get closer to the athletes, they are
more flexible than cable-suspended camera systems.
ARMED ATTACKS
• Armed ‘Predators’ were first used in late 2001 from bases in
Pakistan and Uzbekistan, mostly aimed at assassinating high
profile individuals (terrorist leaders, etc.) inside Afghanistan
• A Predator based in a neighboring Arab country was used to kill
suspected al-Qaeda terrorists in Yemen on November 3, 2002.
This marked the first use of an armed Predator as an attack
aircraft outside of a theater of war s uch as Afghanistan.
