2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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
10. Indian UAV’s
Developed by DRDO ( Defence Research &
Development Organization )
Lakashya
DRDO Rustam
Developed by ADE
Fluffy
Pawan
Nishant
11. 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
12. 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
13. 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.
