There is increasing interest in the potential of UAV (UnmannedAerial Vehicle) and MAV (Micro Air Vehicle) technology and theirwide ranging applications including defence missions,reconnaissance and surveillance, border patrol, disaster zoneassessment and atmospheric research. High investment levels fromthe military sector globally is driving research and developmentand increasing the viability of autonomous platforms asreplacements for the remotely piloted vehicles more commonly inuse.
UAV/UAS pose a number of new challenges, with the autonomy andin particular collision avoidance, detect and avoid, or sense andavoid, as the most challenging one, involving both regulatory andtechnical issues.
Sense and Avoid in UAS: Research and Applications coversthe problem of detect, sense and avoid in UAS (Unmanned AircraftSystems) in depth and combines the theoretical and applicationresults by leading academics and researchers from industry andacademia.
Key features:
* Presents a holistic view of the sense and avoid problem in thewider application of autonomous systems
* Includes information on human factors, regulatory issues andnavigation, control, aerodynamics and physics aspects of thesense and avoid problem in UAS
* Provides professional, scientific and reliable content that iseasy to understand, and
* Includes contributions from leading engineers and researchersin the field
Sense and Avoid in UAS: Research and Applications is aninvaluable source of original and specialised information. It actsas a reference manual for practising engineers and advancedtheoretical researchers and also forms a useful resource foryounger engineers and postgraduate students. With its crediblesources and thorough review process, Sense and Avoid in UAS:Research and Applications provides a reliable source of informationin an area that is fast expanding but scarcely covered.
