*These are vehicles without pilot, and works under the control of
software and hardware i.e., remote computer.
*Its flight is controlled either autonomously by computer in the
vehicles or under the remote control by a pilot on ground.
*It is mainly drones and driverless car.
*These are of two type:-
1)remote controlled:- with the help of remote computer.
2) automatic control :- according to task (autonomously).
3. *
*These are computer which controls unmanned vehicle
remotely with the help of communication system.
*Remote computer is controlled by associated officer or pilot.
5. *
*In this, the vehicle is controlled by computer in the vehicle but
it performs according to given task.
*It can also be called software control.
*It can perform given task without any pilot.
*Proper software design is needed including ARTIFICIAL
INTELLEGENCE and NEURAL NETWORK.
6. *
*ARTIFICIAL INTELEGENCE:- It is the intelligence exhibited by the
machine or software. OR it is the learning ability of machine.
*NEURAL NETWORK:-it is a system of programs and data structure that
approximates the operation of the human brain.
7. *
*It performs as pilot do.
*It can do better than pilot or associated officer.
*It can do much faster than human/ pilot.
*It can do that task which is not possible for human/ pilot.
*It can save human life.
*It can work for long time without any mistake.

Nikola Tesla described a fleet of unmanned
aerial combat vehicles in 1915.
•A number of remote controlled airplane
advances followed during and after World War
Ist.
•The first scale RPV (Remote Piloted Vehicle)
was developed by the film star and model
airplane enthusiast Reginald Denny in 1935.

*A typical UAS consists of the following:-
*unmanned aircraft (UA)
*control system, such as Ground Control
Station (GCS);
*control link, a specialized data link;
*other related support equipment.
13. *
*Target and decoy – providing ground and aerial gunnery a
target that simulates an enemy aircraft or missile.
*Reconnaissance – providing battlefield Intelligence.
*Combat – providing attack capability for high-risk missions.
*Logistics – UAVs specifically designed for cargo and logistics
Operation.

Civilian uses
*Aerial:- photography Film, video, still, etc.
*Agriculture:- Crop monitoring and spraying; herd monitoring and
driving
*Coastguard:- Search and rescue, coastline and sea-lane monitoring
*Conservation :-Pollution and land monitoring
*Customs and Excise :-Surveillance for illegal imports
*Electricity companies:-Powerline inspection
*Fire Services and Forestry:- Fire detection, incident control
15. *
*Military roles:- Navy
*Protection of ports from offshore attack, Placement and
monitoring of sonar buoys and possibly other forms of anti-
submarine.
Army
*Surveillance of enemy activity, Monitoring of nuclear,
biological or chemical (NBC) contamination
*Target designation and monitoring, Location and destruction
of land mines
Air Force
*high-altitude surveillance, Radar system, Airfield base
security, Airfield damage assessment, Elimination of
unexploded bombs.

*In the future, UAVs may be able to perform
a variety of unique tasks apart from what
they are capable of today.
*Engineers are currently working to produce
remotely piloted UAVs that are capable of
air to air combat, aerial refuelling, combat
search and rescue with facial recognition,
and resupply to agents on the ground.
18. *
*UV design and production is a global activity with
manufacturers all across the world.
*It will capture all types of industries, vehicle,
*Medical treatment and many more
19. *
UV can enter environment that to dangerous
to human life.
*Reduce the exposure risk of aircraft operator.
*Can stay in the air up to 30hours.
*Performing a geological survey.
*Performing visual or thermal imaging of a
region.
*Can be programmed to complete the mission
autonomously even when contact with its GCS
20. *
*It is expensive and complicated to design.
*It becomes useless due to error at war time.
*Engineers have to spend a lot of time during its
design, testing and manufacturing.
*It can harm its owner due to error.
