Mobile Technology Pros And Cons

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

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.

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)

UAVs have been operating longer than the public realizes by gathering military intelligence, surveying internal and externally to national borders, and monitoring telecommunications. Drones have been constructed to achieve an operational presence

The National Airspace System (NAS) has been becoming busier ever since the Wright Brothers first took off and the first air mail routes were created in the early 1900s. During this day in age the NAS supports nearly 87,000 flights per day and is immensely growing as the need for transportation of goods, people, and services are constantly in demand and even growing in demand. With the introduction of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) into the NAS, the airspace is getting even more congested due to the lack of set in stone regulations from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Now that UAS are becoming more common amongst the general population, the airways are become much less predictable and much less safe, which causes a threat to the manned general aviation community. Many of the manned aircraft in the sky are non-cooperative, meaning the pilot has no way of complying with air traffic control directions or contains the equipment needed to see other

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.

Lockheed Martin, together with Canadian UAVs, showed how beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS) flights can help various operations by performing multiple BVLOS inspection flights with the Indago 2 drone at the UAV testing facility in Foremost, Alberta, Canada.

This relates to the counterterrorism response by allowing the most appropriate strategies in this regard. It explains specificities of the phenomenon in every moment and particular actors involved with regard to the depth and scope of their application. On the other hand, if the use of the Reaper is aimed at short-term objectives analysis groups, capabilities and actuating means, motivation, or targets, it can contribute to devising a framework for analysis and action integrating factors as diverse as social, religious, political or economic criteria. It includes a cutting edge administration framework and autopilot. This UAV can be completely self-operative without any pilot throughout an entire mission. It can take off, travel to the objective of the mission, execute its objective, go back and arrive securely without human-pilot mediation to control. Such administration requires watchful programming of the whole task and mission of the flying aircraft to have the capacity to fly completely self-ruling. Its missions help to provide intelligence to perceive and act on terrorist activity and its causes. The UAV’s performance capabilities and counter-response given the counterterrorist actions of a given

The GSS network will be a vital piece for rebalancing the force in 2025. It is a network tracking and control system designed to help deploy and control unmanned

The Joint Tactical Radio Systems can be described as inexpensive radio systems that are software programmable and offer reliable, secure, data, multi-channel voice, and video communications for mobile users in the military. The tactical radio systems provide an all-inclusive, safe, and multi-channel mobile communications network ability for ground vehicles. The deliver communications networking capabilities that enable the transfer of several megabits of data per second on moving ground vehicles at the tactical edge. Consequently, the systems places total power and control of the Global Information Grid into the warfighters and take the situational awareness of network beyond the center for tactical operations (Simonsen, 2011).

AAG has assembled a multi-disciplinary team uniquely qualified to accomplish this UAS design and subsequent implementation. Our team is experienced in software and hardware development, aircraft instrumentation, and simulation and flight research as well as aircraft control law design, nonlinear aircraft dynamics, stability and control, UAS path-planning and decision-making, and UAS Detect and Avoid, and three team members are both engineers and pilots. The Principal Investigator (PI) for the team is Sally Johnson, with over 30 years of experience in planning and leading related research and development. Jesse Couch, Co-Investigator (Co-I), led a student team to design and build a UAS and participated in the North Carolina State University

The NPUAS TS submitted COA 123 this past Spring to incorporate small UAS into its BVLOS system. This COA would also allow for small UAS operations over people and multiple small UAS controlled by one operator. The approval for the COA is anticipated to be received by the end of 2017.

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.

[5] used a genetic algorithm to optimize the locations of UAVs to improve the throughput coverage and the fifth-percentile throughput of the network. 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. [7] used SysML-Sec/TTool for formal verification of safety and security of an autonomous UAV mission. They modelled the embedded and communication system of the UAV as well as the processing performed by the central computer controlling the UAV.
