This document provides an overview of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones. It discusses the history of UAVs, key subsystems like communication and navigation, design parameters, applications in fields like disaster relief, search and rescue, and sports, and advantages over manned aircraft. UAVs are controlled remotely or autonomously and perform tasks in dangerous environments instead of endangering human life. The conclusion is that UAVs will become increasingly important in military, civil and commercial applications in the coming years.

OVERVIEW
Introduction History of UAV Sub Systems of UAV Design Parameters Comparison of UAV v/s Manned Aircraft Applications UAV’s with India Advantages Conclusion INTRODUCTION
An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV) known as a
Drone , is an aircraft without a pilot
Dronestands for Dynamic Remotely Operated
Navigation Equipment
Itsflight is either controlled autonomously by
computers or under the remote control of a pilot on the ground History of UAV The Kettering Bug was the first Unmanned aerial torpedo developed after world War I
The birth of UAV’s
began in 1959 when the United States Air Force officers, concerned about losing pilots over hostile territory Sub Systems of UAV COMMUNICATION: Operates on Ultra high frequency Communicates with ku-band system Operates with uplink frequencies from 15.15 to 15.35 GHz and downlink frequency 14.40 GHz to 14.83GHz
NAVIGATION: Avionics use satellite based system such as GPS and WAAS It calculates position automatically Sub Systems of UAV 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 weather radar and lighting detector system Sub Systems of UAV DESIGN PARAMETERS Aerodynamics Payload Endurance Speed and Range Communications Navigation system Launch and Recovery COMPARISON OF UAV v/s MANNED AIRCRAFT UAV can perform an increasingly sophisticated array of missions due to their small size and decreased radar With a continuous trend of miniaturization in electronics, the UAV can be made much smaller and cheaper They can work without the use of a pilot in the aircraft APPLICATIONS There are many different applications of UAV’s. Some of the applications of UAV’s are listed below Search and Rescue Disaster relief Sports Commercial Aerial Surveillance Commercial and Motion picture film making Armed attacks DISASTER RELIEF UAV’s transport medicines and vaccines, and retrieve medical samples, into and out of remote or other inaccessible regions UAV’s can help in disaster relief by gathering information from across an affected area SEARCH AND RESCUE During 2008 hurricanes that struck Louisiana and Texas, Micro UAV’s such as the “Aeryon Scout”, have been used to perform search for missing persons SPORTS Drones were used in the 2014 winter Olympics in Sochi for filming skiing and snowboarding events Some advantages of using UAV’s in sports are that they allow cameras to get closer to the athletes. They are more flexible than cable- suspended camera systems ARMED FORCES 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 UAV’s with INDIA 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 a region Measuring cell phone, radio or TV coverage over any terrain Can be programmed to complete the mission autonomously even when contact with its GCS is lost CONCLUSION
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles are an exciting
field in the world of aviation, with new discoveries. Over the next 16 years, UAV’s will become a significant component of military, civil, and perhaps even commercial aviation
