As Advances Are Being Made In Unmanned Aerial Systems (Uas)

Military scientists have been always trying to use technology to overcome the limitations of the human nature in the battlefield. But until the invention of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAV) all new inventions depended on manpower. As Vietnam was called a helicopter war, with excessive use of drones we may call Iraq and Afghanistan war as a UAV war (Wilson, 2015). As air support became crucial for every military operation, even in counterterrorism air support is the huge advantage against the insurgents. Currently, drones are basically used for surveillance and air strikes. But there were trials for the use of drones for logistics purposes.

The first issue concerning UAVs deals with the inability for an opponent to surrender under the attack of a UAV strike. Additionally, I will discuss the possible increased inclination to start war

An assessment of Aircraft Solutions (AS) as to what Security Vulnerabilities that might be found, two areas discussed are Hardware & Policy weakness and impact.

Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) have become a quickly growing part of the aviation community over the last five to ten years. More and more of these aircraft are flying in the National Airspace System (NAS) with each passing year, without any set rules governing their operation. With the growing population of UAS in the NAS, for military, civil, and commercial use, the need for regulation is becoming increasingly obvious. How to regulate this type of aircraft is no simple task. Taking into consideration the many factors of these aircraft such as size, purpose, who is using them, and location of use, it is difficult to determine what regulation is required. That is the task that has been set before the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). To determine what type of regulation is needed to integrate and ensure the safe operation of UAS in the NAS since the skies that they share are shared with manned aircraft.

Thirdly, what applications can be implemented in the near future to catch up with UAS technology quickly surpassing current regulations?

Military forces deploy to vastly different environments across the globe. However, two of the most important discriminating factors which shape how operations are conducted are acceptance and protection of US forces by the local population. Operational environments are roughly sorted into two major categories. Permissive environments are locations where the host nation has control of its territory and supports US operations. Non-permissive environments refer to locations with hostile or uncertain local response. Although the weapon’s systems and sensors do not change from one location to the next, the environment surrounding a deployed Air Defense unit has a significant impact on how it is best operated. The Patriot and Avenger weapons systems clearly demonstrate the disparate considerations that must be taken for implementation of each asset when employed in a permissive and non-permissive environment respectively.

However, the most promising technologic development is the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) that maintain the safety of our human sources while obtaining remote insights imperative to the overall safety of our nation.

During the overall restructuring of the United States Army current active Army units began to transform into modular organizations to enhance the capability to perform its mission by making them a quickly deployable, flexible and lethal unit than had been previously structured. Therefore, Combat Aviation Brigades were developed and are multi-functional, allowing for a combination of attack helicopters, reconnaissance helicopters, medium lift helicopters, heavy lift helicopters, and medical evacuation capabilities. It was decided that aviation units will not be a portion of a larger unit such as combat brigades and will continue to reside at the division level due to resource constraints. The various helicopters that are to be

Although they tend to be smaller than manned aircraft including most small general aviation types, UAVs are indeed aircraft and all of the industrial safety measures that apply in other forms of aviation also apply here. At this point it is appropriate to define a few terms; Remotely Piloted Vehicle/Aircraft (RPV/Aircraft) refers to an aircraft or vehicle piloted from the ground. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) may be piloted from the ground or autonomously controlled through a software program. Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) refers to the combination of unmanned vehicle and all control, sensor, payload and maintenance elements necessary for mission accomplishment.

We also need to invest in the future to ensure continued development and improvement of the war fighter’s mobilization electronic operating systems while continuously conducting relevant high quality training. These mobilization technology systems must support our current complex and evolving operating environment. Additionally, it is imperative that we identify duplicate systems and work towards the migration and/or elimination of unnecessary redundancies.

Army Brigade Combat Teams (BCTs) continue to face significant challenges synchronizing air and ground operations through the execution of a Unit Airspace Plan (UAP). A well-developed UAP increases combat effectiveness by promoting the safe, efficient, and flexible use of airspace with minimum restraint upon airspace users. This paper does not propose a plan to solve all the challenges BCTs face. The intent is to share lessons learned from 2/25 IBCT’s Air Defense Air Management/ Brigade Aviation Element (ADAM/BAE) cell during our recent Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC) rotation. Focus is placed on the development and implementation of the UAP. The major challenges discussed are clearly defining the roles and responsibilities of those involved with UAP development, the integration of both small and tactical Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), and how to best manage a synchronized UAP.

The U.S. military has been, and remains, a world leader in remote targeted killings ever since the fateful events of September 11, 2001. The drone has become dominant in U.S. national security strategy, which has switched from counterinsurgency in the city to counterterrorism from the skies. Now, as the world yearns for the next big thing to change everyday life, mankind turns his gaze to artificial intelligence used to carry weapons of war. For these reasons, drone usage should be limited for the general public in the United States.

For years we have found ways to protect our belongings with security to make sure our phones or computers aren’t hacked, or data isn’t stolen from them. Many sUAS are starting to apply security measures, but they are still vulnerable. An Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) more commonly known as a drone by hobbyists may be a revolutionary device, but they don’t come without there downfalls. While a drone might be able to maneuver in a tight space or follow you while avoiding obstacles, it is still very seceptible to being hacked, and could leave it vulnerable for the next few years.

NextGen is a tremendous, historic shift to revamp the U.S. air transportation system. This all-embracing initiative integrates new and existing policies, procedures, and technologies, including satellite navigation and advanced digital communications. Two major parts of this upgrade and modernization include, but not limited to, Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS) and En Route Automation Modernization (ERAM). These systems enable NextGen capabilities in all phases of flight and safety. STARS for instance, replaces multiple automation systems for controllers who provide control services to pilots in terminal airspace and the airspace immediately surrounding major airports. Additionally, ERAM combines flight plan information with surveillance data from Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B), Wide Area Multi-lateration, and radar to automate many air traffic control functions. Other parts of ERAM include, System Wide Information Management (SWIM), which provides the digital data-sharing backbone of NextGen. SWIM also connects producers and users of data with a common language and single point of contact to access aeronautical, flight, and weather information. ADS-B sends out broadcasts of an aircraft's position, altitude, and velocity to a network of ground stations that relays the information to air traffic control displays and nearby aircraft that are equipped to receive the data. Each component delivers specific capabilities to provide integration and smooth traffic flow to reduce

Researchers in [6] identified main disaster management applications of UAVs and discussed some open research issues. They showed that UAV networks in conjunction with WSN and cellular network are promising future technology for the applications in disaster management.
