Collisions on the ground are of grave importance as well. A MQ-1C UAV pilot undergoing training

The historical context can explain the mega-trends in the issue of UAVs. First drones were designed and used primarily for military purposes since 1950’s and even earlier. For instance, the U.S. and France worked on the development of unmanned airplanes during the World War I. Then army started to use drones for delivering messages, intelligence and bombing attacks (Calder). Such vehicles can perform dozens of missions without risking a life of pilots. Moreover, drones became smaller and more maneuver. They complete actions that were impossible before.

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

Since the beginning of aviation, aircraft have been used for other intentions besides carrying passengers and cargo. They have been used as weapons of war dating all the way back to the first world war, and the use of aircraft has enlightened the advancement of the aviation. “Throughout the history of aviation, the greatest progress in flight has been made during time when either war or the threat of war was present” (Millspaugh, et al., 2008, p. 33). However, the war we face today has been triggered by the deliberate use of aircraft to cause death, destruction, and mayhem.

In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), or drones, have transitioned from primarily military applications to use in the private sector; being used to film movies, delivering packages for Amazon, and even personal entertainment. Because of the advancement in drone

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.

Currently the majority of the UAVs operated by the United States are military assets, and as such are subject to policies, requirements and regulations of the military. These safety requirements will be briefly discussed. As unmanned systems are integrated into national airspace they will be operated in increasing numbers by civil operators, for this reason we will also look at civil safety requirements. UAS will also present some unique situations which have up to this point not been experienced; this will require new areas to be incorporated into the aviation industrial safety arena to ensure our current level of safety is not degraded through their inclusion. This paper will investigate aviation industrial safety as it applies specifically to

In 2012, the United States of America's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was directed to integrate the use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) with the National Airspace System (NAS). This was after a report indicated that there was a lot of opportunity which had remained unexploited by prohibiting the use of drones. Realistically, the use of UAVs for commercial purposes will create more financial and job opportunities considering the fact that the UAV is flexible and they require low operation and maintenance costs. However, for this to happen, there should be clear rules and regulations which will govern the purchase and the ultimate use of unmanned aerial vehicles.

Although the potential contribution of UAVs to sectors such as environmental protection, law enforcement and various commercial activities is apparent, they still seem not to be ready for civilian use. This is due to several reasons, including e.g. civilian UAVs (CUAVs) requiring different technological solutions such as optimized platforms, different endurance requirements, dedicated payloads and different ground control systems. An additional important problem to be solved is the integration of UAVs in the civilian airspace, which will require the adoption of civilian airworthiness standards and proven safety features. Last but not least trust has to be created, both at the public sectors and the commercial community, that CUAVs have economic advantages ( Vanclay 2003)

            First, we have heard that the new of the united states presence talking about the Middle East, you will hear a topic very frequently worry with drone recognition. The government will be involved in the process of trying to use drone technology in warfare. We have read information about the usages of drone missiles attacks on bad people with was done by drones.  In warfare, the usage of drone technology will be increasing. “Now drones are not gathering information, but are used to operate in combat “(“The uav”, 2012, P1).  With the use of advances in technology quickly being developed, companies are now starting to develop an opportunity to size them. They are starting to build their own things to use for was but also for people in today’s world (Wolfgang, 2012, P1). Next, drones which are known as UAVs (Un-manned Aerial Vehicles), are vehicles that do not need a person physically being there to use drones.

In this you can already see that drones do cause some concern towards the FAA and safety for all the pilots in the sky. It's difficult to say how long it'll take the FAA to make rules so that not a single person can be killed by drones if they follow the rules given to them. The Rules consist of restrictions such as Drones over the weight of 250 g and below 55 kg must register under the FAA and Drones can only fly below 400 feet which is around the length of a football field. For now these rules are thought out enough to keep drone pilots safe on each flight and keep the people around them

There are three ways for anti-GPS spoofing. These are cryptography, signal-distortion detection, and direction-of-arrival sensing. However, use of one method is not enough. Combining strategies is the sure way to secure a countermeasure for spoofing. Cryptographic method allows the users to authenticate signals on the fly. An example of cryptographic technique is the use of PRN codes for the civilian receivers. PRN codes are unpredictable that is why a spoofer cannot grasp the codes ahead of time. In addition, there is still a need of verification of each new signal. Every civilian receiver carries an encryption key similar to the ones used by military receivers. It is difficult for the attackers to obtain the keys correctly. Nevertheless,

The issue between drones and pilots is that the United States is starting to use more and more drones and cancel out the usage of manned aircraft. The reason behind that is the U.S wants to decrease the amount of casualties and increase the amount of missions and targets that are a success. Ever since 2000, the usage of drones have increased, but has not eliminated the use of manned aircraft because the U.S has not come up with a solution to program the drones to

The movement of millions of passengers over distances thought impossible decades ago is symbolic of the modern air transportation era that is characterized by speed, comfort and personal convenience. The commerce of aviation, both the operation of commercial aircraft for profit and the development of aeronautical systems, is also an important symbol of national prestige and a powerful economic force. Safety in air transportation is therefore a matter of significant national importance.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVS) universally known as Drones is a small state of the art aircraft controlled by well-trained professionals or pilots and these drones can be controlled and deployed from any remote location. Drones are widely used by Military for surveillance, reconnaissance and on some occasions they are used to neutralize enemy forces without the need of invasive military engagement. Due to the advancement in technology and to the success rate of the use of drones, the Law enforcement is launching its use in their day to day activities.

Abstract— The development of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) technology has increased at an incredible rate in recent years. The market currently includes many different varieties and classes of UAVs, but none currently offer long range beyond line of sight flight over cellular networks. The only existing networks currently utilized for long-range flight are i-Fi networks. However, flying over Wi-Fi has range limitations that restrict the full use of the UAVs. Therefore, the goal of this project is to design a UAV control system using existing cellular networks as the primary mode for communication. In order to accomplish this objective, an Android OS based application that is capable of sending and receiving signals between two Android smartphones will be designed. One of the phones will be on the UAV itself and the other in the hand of the pilot. Through these devices, the user will be able to control the UAV while also receiving critical information from the drone— such as Global Positioning System (GPS) location, live video feed, system statuses, and flight diagnostics from the UAV. A hardware interfacing circuit will be designed to interpret the control signals from the phone and pass them to the UAV for flight control. Additionally, a crash avoidance algorithm incorporating the position of other flying UAVs will be integrated into the system. This will provide a platform to reduce the number of user based crashes as well as reducing the risk of damaging a UAV.
