Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs): An Emerging Technology for Logisticsinventionjournals
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UVAs), commonly known as drones have extensively been utilized in military operations during the last decade for surveillance, monitoring enemy activities, collecting information, and even attacking military targets and terrorist hideouts. They are also increasingly finding uses in civil applications, such as policing and firefighting and nonmilitary work, such as inspection of power lines and pipelines. Furthermore, corporations utilized them in commercial applications, such as agriculture, logistics, delivering small packages to rough terrain locations, and medication to emergency locations. UAVs are often preferred for missions that are too ―dull, dirty or dangerous‖ for manned aircraft. This paper is exploratory in nature and describes the past and current usage in logistics and military. It further explores design and development considerations of UAVs. This is an emerging technology that will change the landscape of logistics and supply chain management. This research article provides a basic foundation to academicians, researchers, and commercial companies.

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a Drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot on board. UAVs can be remote controlled aircraft (e.g. flown by a pilot at a ground control station) or can fly autonomously based on pre-programmed flight plans or more complex dynamic automation systems
A UAV is defined as being capable of controlled, sustained level flight and powered by a jet or reciprocating engine. In addition, a cruise missile can be considered to be a UAV, but is treated separately on the basis that the vehicle is the weapon.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are aircrafts that fly without any humans being onboard. They are either remotely piloted, or piloted by an onboard computer. This kind of aircrafts can be used in different military missions such as surveillance, reconnaissance, battle damage assessment, communications relay, minesweeping, hazardous substances detection and radar jamming. However they can be used in other than military missions like detection of hazardous objects on train rails and investigation of infected areas. Aircrafts that are able of hovering and vertical flying can also be used for indoor missions like counter terrorist operations

The Transportation and Logistics Network (TALON) hosted a sold out business summit, “Progress 2018: Preparing for the Change to Come”, on Tuesday, April 17, 2018 at the University of North Florida’s Adam W. Herbert University Center. The event was held to educate transportation professionals about the digital trends affecting supply chains. AUVSI President & CEO Brian Wynne delivered this keynote address.
The Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) advocates for the unmanned systems and robotics industry. It represents over 7,500 members working with unmanned aerial, ground, and maritime systems for both civilian and military applications. AUVSI works with Congress and regulatory agencies to advance policies that enable the safe integration of unmanned systems into the national airspace to realize their economic potential, estimated to be over $82 billion by 2025. Recent FAA actions, including selecting six test sites and proposing rules for small unmanned aircraft systems, are steps toward achieving this integration.
This document discusses the use of unmanned aerial systems (drones) in the construction industry. It provides an overview of drone technology and applications, as well as new FAA regulations for commercial drone use. Key points include:
- Drones can be used for tasks like 3D modeling, site monitoring, safety inspections, and marketing, allowing dangerous or difficult jobs to be done remotely.
- The FAA's new Part 107 rules allow commercial drone use with restrictions like pilot certification, 55 lb weight limit, and visual line of sight operation.
- Proper risk management and insurance are important due to risks of accidents, privacy issues, and potential liability. Coverage options include aviation policies or CGL
The document discusses the growing commercial drone market and its applications. It notes that spending on drones and related hardware is expected to double over the next decade, reaching $13 billion annually by 2024. While defense has traditionally dominated the market, commercial applications are growing and expected to account for one-fourth of the drone market by 2024. Key commercial applications mentioned include precision agriculture, energy/mining, real estate, media/entertainment, and aerial imaging. The document also provides an overview of the stakeholders in the drone industry supply chain.
Unmanned aircraft (UAS or UAVs) have the potential to be used in agriculture for crop sensing, aerial imaging, and other applications currently performed by manned aircraft. However, safety is the top concern as UAVs currently lack the ability to sense and avoid other aircraft. The National Agricultural Aviation Association (NAAA) has recommended requirements for UAVs such as ADS-B transmitters, strobe lights, pilot training, and aircraft certification to help address safety issues. While UAVs may be used for crop monitoring and imaging, manned aircraft remain better suited for large-scale aerial application due to efficacy and cost advantages over current small UAV technologies.
Unmanned aircraft (UAS or UAVs) have the potential to be used in agriculture for tasks like crop sensing and aerial imaging. However, integrating UAS safely into the national airspace poses challenges due to current technology limitations of UAS to sense and avoid other aircraft. The National Agricultural Aviation Association (NAAA) has safety concerns about UAS operations and recommends requirements like transponders, lighting, pilot training, and aircraft certification to address these challenges. While UAS may be used in agriculture in the future, manned aircraft currently have advantages for many agricultural applications due to greater efficacy and lower costs. Significant liability risks also exist for UAS operators until these safety issues are resolved.

Guide to Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)Graeme Cross
This document provides a guide to unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), including definitions and key terms. It discusses the legal case of FAA v. Raphael Pirker, which established that UAS are considered aircraft subject to FAA regulations. The document outlines current FAA rules for UAS operations in the US and notes that fines and penalties for non-compliance are not covered by insurance. It also summarizes UAS statistics, the developing insurance market, and potential commercial uses of UAS.
The document discusses the present and future of the drone industry. It covers the commercial, military, and hobbyist markets for drones and how drones are being used for applications like delivery, agriculture, filmmaking, and more. The document predicts that commercial drone spending will reach $4.8 billion globally by 2021 and that drones will continue revolutionizing various industries through innovations in engagement, solutions to unique challenges, and new forms of advertising and events.
Drones are a different kind of new technology from what we’re used to. They offer something else: the conquest of physical space, the extension of society’s compass, the ability to be anywhere and see anything.
For the past few years, one of the most exciting class of gadgets on display has been drones. They got cheaper, lighter, and easier to use even as they became more powerful.
We believe 2015 is an important year for drones as they will change how brands interact with consumers in both advertising and events, and here's everything you need to know about the drone technology.
The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) market is growing, projected to reach $8.4 billion by 2018. UAVs are predominantly used for military and security purposes by countries like the US, UK, and Israel. While UAV use is concentrated in a few countries currently, the market is becoming more international. The US accounts for over half of research spending and procurement but this share is expected to decline as more countries develop and use UAVs for defense. The UAV market is led by high altitude vehicles but medium and low altitude types are growing segments. Increased civilian and commercial use of UAVs is also expected in the future.
The document summarizes the FAA's current approach to regulating unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and provides an update on recent developments. It outlines the different authorization requirements for public entities, civil operators, and hobby/recreational flights. It also describes the FAA's Section 333 exemption process, the proposed small UAS rule, guidance for model aircraft operators, and the agency's focus on education and compliance over enforcement. The presentation concludes by teasing upcoming next steps from the FAA in regulating UAS and integrating them into the national airspace system.

• UAS operate under FAA model aircraft guidelines (1981): cannot be flown
above 400 feet; remain in the operator’s line of sight.
• UAVs cannot be operated within 5 miles of an airport without first
informing the airport’s operating authorities or aircraft control tower
• UAVs are non-military and non-commercial which fly under “recreational”
exceptions to FAA regulations which have limits on altitude and distance
• UAV flights that are non-hobby or non-recreational require FAA
authorization
6. Legal and Regulatory Issues
• FAA has "exclusive sovereignty” of US airspace; authority to prescribe air
traffic regulations
• FAA: There is also a state and local law enforcement role to deter, detect,
investigate, and, pursue enforcement on unauthorized or unsafe UAS
operations
• US DOT evaluates local and state laws or requirements on a case-by-case
basis to deconflict with the FAA's authority
• Executive Order 13688 Federal Support for Local Law Enforcement
Equipment Acquisition—classified UAS as “controlled equipment” placing
limits on transfers of UAS to law enforcement agencies.
• Local efforts to regulate UAS: Miami-Dade County, FL

• Laser Weapon System (LaWS) Program--Lasers track, engage and
destroy UAVs that pose a threat to naval assets in the “over-the-
water” combat maritime environment
• Broad area maritime surveillance unmanned aircraft system: multi-
mission maritime intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance
DHS:
• UAVs for monitoring land borders, support FEMA missions, joint
missions w/ CBP in Florida (illegal immigration, smuggling)
13. UAVs in the Maritime Security Domain
Dubai Port Company is using UAVs for port security at the ports of Khalifa,
Zayed, the Free Port, and the New Free Port. The UAVs use cameras for
monitoring, viewing and managing incidents, and search and rescue
situation
In the US: Port Security Grant Program:
• Funds support increased port-wide risk management, enhanced domain
awareness, training and exercises to prevent, detect, respond to, and
recover from attacks
• Funding restrictions to ports applying for federal grants for developing UAS
for port security (EO 13688)
14. Conclusions
• Laws and regulations addressing UAS in the US are in a state of flux.
• The FAA is the major government agency responsible for regulating UAS operations.
• State and local governments have response, investigative and enforcement roles
associated with UAV threats to public safety and security.
• UAS technology and development will continue to advance, improving the cost
effectiveness capabilities associated with various missions.
• Commercial and business use of UAS technology will grow.
• Recreational and hobbyist use of UAS will grow.
• In the maritime security domain, enforcement assets (military and public law
enforcement) will continue to take advantage of UAS technology to protect assets in the
maritime security domain.
• US port facilities will need to factor in the risks from unauthorized use of UAS in their
target environments to develop specific facility security plans to mitigate the risks from
UAS.
15. Further Research
• Analysis of local and state laws and regulations addressing the use of
UAS in jurisdictions.
