Ud Spectrum Essay

Because I own and operate an aerial imaging company, I have a vast knowledge of what is required to go into each and every drone operation. I am able to help the EOC determine what is necessary for any person or organization to safely operate sUAS on UCF property. I would also like to extend my knowledge to the EOC to help create the drone policy that will go into effect on UCF’s campus. Furthermore, I will make myself available on a emergency/non-emergency basis to fly sUAS on behalf of the University. Non-emergency applications could include aerial mapping, photo, or video, while emergency applications could include missing persons case, surveillance, or damage assessment.

Furthermore, the private contractors employed by the firm may be selected based on past warfare experience and are generally more available than governmentally controlled defense forces. The government money loaned to the firm can be allocated to establishing counter defense mechanisms against UAVs, comprised of a detecting and neutralizing component. Radar systems are the detecting component of the system, capable of electronically detecting UAVs from long ranges. The radar’s ability to spot potential threats from large distances allows preparation time to neutralize the threat. The most efficient countermeasure against UAVs is jamming the operator’s connection to the device, and then intercepting the signal to overtake control of the drone. The dual-component defense mechanism is ideal for the current technological landscape, as it readily identifies and disarms any potential

Secondly, what safeguard and mitigation technology and tactics are needed to protect the public’s privacy and safety from nefarious UAS operations?

Airpower across all services can continue to be innovative and transformative with the use of drones. With current fiscal trends and reductions in manpower, drone use will be the most effective way to remain dominant in the world of

The FAA is the national authority in charge of managing all aspects of both manned and unmanned aerial vehicles.

The General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper (sometimes called Predator B) is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) capable of remotely controlled or autonomous flight operations. With the help of the Reaper, I monitored and informed the units of enemy activity and possible locations, ensuring the safety American soldiers under my surveillance. This advanced capability is one that a twenty-first

To circumvent the line of sight stipulation and enable autonomous control of drones, a nationwide drone-based air traffic control system could ease the concerns of the FAA. Many companies are currently developing such a solution. PrecisionHawk, uses what they call a low altitude traffic and airspace safety system to automatically avoid obstacles and other air traffic. Impressed, the FAA made an unprecedented decision to allow PrecisionHawk to fly beyond line of sight for agriculture use. With the 2016 FAA regulation, more commercial users will push the boundaries of drone use, thus leading to additional regulation that will provide the framework to enable rapid drone

The drone market has skyrocketed over the past couple of years and shows no intention of slowing down. With that, reports of nuisance drone activity have also increased, placing those in authority in a precarious situation on what to do with these unmanned crafts. Over the past few years the U.S. military has been testing tactics and technologies that would counter the ever-rising drone threat - in an annual exercise called Black Dart.

On December 14, 2016, Amazon made its first delivery via drone [1]. This marks the era of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). UAVs have a long history of innovations and inventions in their past. They combine aspects of everything from aerodynamics to materials science and chemical energy storage to computer programming. Like many other cutting edge technologies, UAVs are highly controversial. They have a vast capability to do harm and are already being integrated into warfare situations, killing enemy combatants. Additionally, UAVs are being increasingly utilized for aerial footage and surveillance, bringing into question an individual 's right to privacy. On the other side, UAVs also have an immense ability to do good in the world. UAVs

The FAA hosted a national UAS Symposium March 27 – 29 in Reston, Virginia, focused on collaboration with industry on UAS technology, cybersecurity and flight authorization approval. The Duetto Group supported Executive Director Flom at the conference through attending breakout sessions, meetings and advocating to industry stakeholders and FAA officials to utilize the advanced abilities of the test site. We introduced Mr. Flom to Paul Bigby, CEO of ConsortiQ, a British company that specializes in training UAS pilots. Mr. Bigby expressed great interest in working with the NPUAS TS and supplying the test site with his company’s software free of charge. We are working with ConsortiQ as the company moves forward to partnering with the NPUAS TS.

As concern grows of rogue UAS operations, Senator Heitkamp has authored bill language encouraging the Armed Forces to leverage the Northern Plains UAS Test Site and the additional test sites for research and development of technologies to mitigate nefarious UAS operations. Having the most complex and extensive operations capabilities, our test site is the only test site with the ability to immediately support the Armed Forces with the needed technology to address harmful UAS operations and protect the public’s and homeland’s security.

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

An unmanned aircraft system is defined as any aircraft that cannot be operated by a human from inside the craft (HB 2125), but instead the device is operated remotely by a controller or through a

The NPUAS TS is leading the nation in UAS detection and counter-UAS technology. It is the only FAA approved test site capable of immediately developing UAS detection and counter-UAS technology. This is due to is world-class facilities, innovative technologies and ability to test real world scenarios in controlled, uncontrolled and restricted airspace and rural and urban environments. Additionally, the NPUAS TS’s partnership with the National Guard and Grand Forks Air Force Base allows for access to various assets and airspace. No other test site has such access, which permits the NPUAS TS to support military and/or classified missions and research.

The aviation industry has come a long way from the Wright brother's first flight at Kitty Hawk. Today aircraft have become much more sophisticated, to the point that they can fly themselves. All these technological advancements have led to the creation of aircraft that have no human pilot in them. Unmanned aircraft have become more common and famous in recent years. UAV's have become more popular now, with this new popularity comes increased use. UAV's have had several lasting effects on the Aviation Industry. To Begin with UAV's have promoted many non-military uses for aviation. UAV's have also made getting into aviation more affordable and accessible to many more people. One negative of UAV's is that they have created confusion in
