Unmanned aerial vehicle

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone, as an unmanned aircraft system (UAS), and also referred by several other names, is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard. The flight of UAVs may be controlled with various kinds of autonomy : either by a given degree of remote control from an operator, located on the ground or in another vehicle, or fully autonomously, by onboard computers.

Historically, UAVs were simple remotely piloted aircrafts, but autonomous control is increasingly being employed : UAV stands nowadays at the crossroads of aviation, electromagnetics, radiocommunication, computer science, avionics, automation, cybernetics, and even core fields of artificial intelligence such as computer vision, decision-making, machine learning and robotics.

UAVs are often preferred for missions that are too "dull, dirty or dangerous" for manned aircrafts. They have and are mostly found in military and special operation applications. Though, UAVs are increasingly finding uses in civil applications, such as policing and surveillance, aerial filming and hobbyist FPV racing.

Aircraft

An aircraft is a machine that is able to fly by gaining support from the air. It counters the force of gravity by using either static lift or by using the dynamic lift of an airfoil, or in a few cases the downward thrust from jet engines.

The human activity that surrounds aircraft is called aviation. Crewed aircraft are flown by an onboard pilot, but unmanned aerial vehicles may be remotely controlled or self-controlled by onboard computers. Aircraft may be classified by different criteria, such as lift type, aircraft propulsion, usage and others.

History

Flying model craft and stories of manned flight go back many centuries, however the first manned ascent – and safe descent – in modern times took place by hot-air balloon in the 18th century. Each of the two World Wars led to great technical advances. Consequently, the history of aircraft can be divided into five eras:

  • Pioneers of flight, from the earliest experiments to 1914.
  • First World War, 1914 to 1918.
  • Aviation between the World Wars, 1918 to 1939.

    • What is the Difference Between Drone and UAV?

      What is the Difference Between Drone and UAV? You probably think of a drone when you think of an unmanned aircraft that can be operated autonomously or remotely. For those who aren't familiar with the drone industry, this is most likely what a drone looks like. We don't blame you; it's easy to mistake any unmanned aircraft for a drone capable of flying without the help of a human. However, if you were to technically define what a drone is, any vehicle can actually be a drone as long as it can travel autonomously without the help of humans. In that regard, vehicles that can travel in air, sea, and land can be considered drones as long as they don’t need human intervention to travel.

    • Meet the X-47B: America's $1.5 Billion Stealth Drone

      Retired in April 2015, the U.S. Navy’s two X-47B, known by their call signs as Salty Dog 501 and Salty Dog 502, represent the most significant progress in Unmanned Combat Aerial Systems to date. Among their numerous achievements, the X-47B was the first drone to land on an aircraft carrier and refuel in midair autonomously. Six years since the X-47B began development, Northrop Grumman finally received a contract to build two X-47Bs; in that time, military drones had become much more prominent as a result of the success of the MQ-1 Predator, and MQ-9 Reapers in Afghanistan and Iraq. Though development costs were quite significant, reaching nearly $1.5 billion by 2015, the program meshed well with evolving Navy requirements.

While the acronym UAV stands for unmanned aerial vehicle, which is very much similar to what a drone is in terms of what the definition means. So, basically, a UAV is anything that can fly aerially but is unmanned in the sense that it doesn’t have a pilot controlling it from the inside. In other words, when we are talking about UAVs, these are simply the vehicles or the airplanes that can fly without the help of a pilot, and we are no longer talking about all of the different types of vehicles here.

    The US Air Force’s MQ-9 Reaper drone is a remotely operated unmanned aerial vehicle, or UAV. It is used primarily for intelligence collection and precision strikes against targets on the ground. Because of its lightweight design and long wingspan, the Reaper can stay in the air for about 20 hours without refueling. The MQ-9 Reaper has been involved in a number of missions, including the 2020 strike that killed the Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, but it has also been linked to civilian deaths. In August 2022, the Department of Defense released the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response Action Plan to address these civilian-harm issues. Insider was granted access to Cannon Air Force Base to observe the 12th Special Operations Squadron to see how it’s training new pilots to remotely fly this drone.

    Retired in April 2015, the U.S. Navy’s two X-47B, known by their call signs as Salty Dog 501 and Salty Dog 502, represent the most significant progress in Unmanned Combat Aerial Systems to date. Among their numerous achievements, the X-47B was the first drone to land on an aircraft carrier and refuel in midair autonomously. Six years since the X-47B began development, Northrop Grumman finally received a contract to build two X-47Bs; in that time, military drones had become much more prominent as a result of the success of the MQ-1 Predator, and MQ-9 Reapers in Afghanistan and Iraq. Though development costs were quite significant, reaching nearly $1.5 billion by 2015, the program meshed well with evolving Navy requirements.

    Unmanned aerial vehicle

    An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone, as an unmanned aircraft system (UAS), and also referred by several other names, is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard. The flight of UAVs may be controlled with various kinds of autonomy : either by a given degree of remote control from an operator, located on the ground or in another vehicle, or fully autonomously, by onboard computers.

    Historically, UAVs were simple remotely piloted aircrafts, but autonomous control is increasingly being employed : UAV stands nowadays at the crossroads of aviation, electromagnetics, radiocommunication, computer science, avionics, automation, cybernetics, and even core fields of artificial intelligence such as computer vision, decision-making, machine learning and robotics.

    UAVs are often preferred for missions that are too "dull, dirty or dangerous" for manned aircrafts. They have and are mostly found in military and special operation applications. Though, UAVs are increasingly finding uses in civil applications, such as policing and surveillance, aerial filming and hobbyist FPV racing.
