    Unmanned Air Vehicle Features, Applications and Technologies Version 25 Dr Joseph A. Barnard 1st November 2006 Barnard Microsystems Limited Figure 1 = Example of an Unmanned Air Vehicle in flight: the General Atomics Predator RQ-1. REF 1 The aim of this document is: to introduce the reader to the advantages of the UAV over manned light aircraft to explain the features of a UAV system, including ground control to identify technical developments that yet need to be made to enable UAVs to fulfil more of their tremendous potential to discuss the wide ranging potential applications for UAVs to examine the technologies and capabilities of some typical UAV payloads Commercial - in - Confidence Executive Summary The Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) is a robot plane containing a flight control computer, precision navigation (GPS and an Inertial Measurement Unit) and flight control electronics, a low vibration engine (such as a Wankel engine), and a payload such as a high resolution camera. The UAV represents a new, cost effective and more environmentally responsible approach to aerial reconnaissance and geophysical survey work. This document discusses the wide-ranging applications of the UAV, typical attributes of which are: Typical Unmanned Air Vehicle versus a Cessna Skylane Payload 1 … 100 Kg 91 Kg Speed min … max 30 … 150 Kph 91 … 276 Kph Altitude min … max 20 m … 25 Km 100 m … 5.5 Km Max flight duration 5 … 40 hours 11.8 hours Max flight range 150 … 3,000 Km 1,793 Km Purchase price typically $ 35,000 for 10 Kg PL $ 268,750 Operating cost typically $ 26 / hr for 10 Kg PL $ 300 / hr Crash damage 74 Kg Æ 105 KJ KE for 10 Kg PL 1,243 Kg Æ 5,145 KJoule KE Advantages of the UAV over a manned aircraft The UAV can fly day-after-day, night-after-night, in dangerous weather conditions for up to 30 hours at a time on an accurate flight path under computer control.

  • Marketing Guide and Directory 2014 Edition
    Unmanned Vehicle Systems (UVS) COMPONENTS Aircraft - Ground - Sea - Space Systems, Subsystems, Components, Materials and Other Infrastructure Equipment and Services Marketing Guide and Directory 2014 Edition Preface This Marketing Guide on "Components for Unmanned Vehicles" is a companion volume to a recently published "UAV Marketing Directory" which was devoted to aerial systems. In addition, this report includes not only aerial but also ground, maritime, submarine, and satellite unmanned systems. Over 1,000 companies, organizations such as educational, research, development and testing and economic development organizations are included covering 100 different categories. An index is provided which places companies in various categories. The majority of companies included are component, materials, and subsystems equipment suppliers but also includes companies providing services, consulting, training, publishing, and other infrastructure suppliers. It is essentially a complete source of information on unmanned systems. Since there is no market study on all the unmanned systems types, a Foreword is included in the report which is taken from the latest version of the DOD Roadmap on Unmanned Systems. This is the only estimate of the unmanned systems market available today. Even though the sequestration and recent budget cuts are now being implemented, the Roadmap does provide a good indication of market trends at least for the government markets. The data collected and included in this report has been obtained by Information Gatekeepers, Inc. (IGI) from the best sources available including tradeshows, conferences, publications, advertisements, press releases, and internet sources. The index of products has been prepared based on company descriptions provided. Placement of companies in the various categories has been assigned by IGI.

No part of this publication may be reproduced without the written permission of the copyright owner. i This page left intentionally blank. ii ABSTRACT The intention of this thesis is to define a guideline for the creation of a safety case for use in the field of civil light UAVs. It provides stakeholders with an opportunity to understand how the UAV, as a complete system, has been designed, assembled and will be operated in a safe and competent manner. Not only can it be used to create a safety argument to prove an extant system’s integrity, it can be used to identify weaknesses within a new system to allow further energy to be focussed upon the delinquent areas. The need for this approach is linked heavily to the UK’s civil UAV market and the vast growth which is forecasted to occur within it over the next two decades. The requirement is also driven by the extant minimal level of regulatory guidance available from within the UK’s CAA.

Young military personnel raised on a diet of video games now kill real people remotely using joysticks. Far removed from the human consequences of their actions, how will this generation of fighters value the right to life? How will commanders and policymakers keep themselves immune from the deceptively antiseptic nature of drone killings? Will killing be a more attractive option than capture? Will the standards for intelligence-gathering to justify a killing slip? Will the number of acceptable ‘collateral’ civilian deaths increase?” Philip Alston and Hina Shamsi, ‘A Killer above the law’, The Guardian, 02.08.10 Convenient Killing • Armed Drones and the ‘Playstation’ Mentality 3 Contents Executive Summary ..................................................................................... 4 Introduction ...................................................................................................... 5 Background ...................................................................................................... 6 The Human Cost ............................................................................................. 8 Production and Proliferation ................................................................... 11 The UK and Drones ...................................................................................
