Zusammenfassung: Unmanned Aircraft Systems delivers a much needed introduction to UAV System technology, taking an integrated approach that avoids compartmentalising the subject. Arranged in four sections, parts 1-3 examine the way in which various engineering disciplines affect the design, development and deployment of UAS. The fourth section assesses the future challenges and opportunities of UAS. Technological innovation and increasingly diverse applications are two key drivers of the rapid expansion of UAS technology. The global defence budget for UAS procurement is expanding, and in the future the market for civilian UAVs is expected to outmatch that of the military. Agriculture, meteorology, conservation and border control are just a few of the diverse areas in which UAVs are making a significant impact; the author addresses all of these applications, looking at the roles and technology behind both fixed wing and rotorcraft UAVs. Provides an integrated analysis of most recent trends and developments in the rapidly expanding UAS industry Written by a leading expert with over 40 years' experience leading UAS programmes Examines future opportunities and challenges facing the UAS industry.Zusammenfassung: Intro -- UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS -- Contents -- Foreword -- Acknowledgements -- Series Preface -- Preface -- Units and Abbreviations -- 1 Introduction to Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) -- 1.1 Some Applications of UAS -- 1.2 What are UAS? -- 1.3 Why Unmanned Aircraft? -- 1.4 The Systemic Basis of UAS -- 1.5 System Composition -- References -- Part 1 THE DESIGN OF UAV SYSTEMS -- 2 Introduction to Design and Selection of the System -- 2.1 Conceptual Phase -- 2.2 Preliminary Design -- 2.3 Detail Design -- 2.4 Selection of the System -- 3 Aerodynamics and Airframe Configurations -- 3.1 Lift-induced Drag -- 3.2 Parasitic Drag -- 3.3 Rotary-wing Aerodynamics -- 3.4 Response to Air Turbulence -- 3.5 Airframe Configurations -- 3.6 Summary -- References -- 4 Characteristics of Aircraft Types -- 4.1 Long-endurance, Long-range Role Aircraft -- 4.2 Medium-range, Tactical Aircraft -- 4.3 Close-range/Battlefield Aircraft -- 4.4 MUAV Types -- 4.5 MAV and NAV Types -- 4.6 UCAV -- 4.7 Novel Hybrid Aircraft Configurations -- 4.8 Research UAV -- References -- 5 Design Standards and Regulatory Aspects -- 5.1 Introduction -- 5.2 United Kingdom -- 5.3 Europe -- 5.4 United States of America -- 5.5 Conclusion -- References -- 6 Aspects of Airframe Design -- 6.1 Scale Effects -- 6.2 Packaging Density -- 6.3 Aerodynamics -- 6.4 Structures and Mechanisms -- 6.5 Selection of power-plants -- 6.6 Modular Construction -- 6.7 Ancillary Equipment -- References -- 7 Design for Stealth -- 7.1 Acoustic Signature -- 7.2 Visual Signature -- 7.3 Thermal Signature -- 7.4 Radio/Radar Signature -- 7.5 Examples in Practice -- Reference -- 8 Payload Types -- 8.1 Nondispensable Payloads -- 8.2 Dispensable Payloads -- Reference -- 9 Communications -- 9.1 Communication Media -- 9.2 Radio Communication -- 9.3 Mid-air Collision (MAC) Avoidance.PPN: PPN: 808948458Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-26-MYL | ZDB-30-PAD | ZDB-30-PQE
