Introduction
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), known as a
drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot.
Drone stand for Dynamic Remotely Operated
Navigation Equipment.
Its flight is either controlled autonomously by
computer or under the remote control of pilot on the
ground.
Birth of UAVs
The earliest attempt at a powered unmanned aerial
vehicle was A.M. Lows Aerial Target of 1916.
After world war-I, including the first scale Remote
Pilot Vehicle, developed by the film star and model
airplane by R. Denny in 1935.
The birth of U.S. UASVs began in 1959 when
United State Air force offers , concerned about
losing pilots over hostile territory.
UAV is a SYSTEM

These are the Commercial UAVs used in the entertainment and logistic area.

In December 2013, the DHL parcel service

subsidiary of Deutsche Post AG tested a
"microdrones md4-1000" for delivery of
medicine.

Communications:-
Operates on ultra high frequency
Communicates with ku-band system
Operates with uplink frequencies from 15.15 to
15.35 GHz.

Navigation :-
Avionics use satellite based system such as GPS.
It calculate position automatically.
 Monitoring :-
Includes GPS system.
High resolution video camera
Super high resolution still camera
Collision avoidance system:-
Use traffic and collision system
Smaller aircraft use simple traffic alerting system
Aircraft use ground proximity warning system
Weather system :-
Use whether radar and lighting detector system

Uses of UAV
In counter terrorism activity
In commercial surveillance
In oil, GAS and mineral exploration & Production
In transport
In scientific research
In armed attacks
In Search & Rescue
Advantages:
Does not contain or need a qualified pilot on board
Can enter environments that are dangerous to human
life
Reduces the exposure risk of the aircraft operator
Performing visual or thermal imaging of region
Measuring cell phone, radio or TV coverage over any
terrain
Can be programmed to complete the mission
autonomously even when contact with its gas is lost
Disadvantage:
Angers Many People In Foreign Countries
Can Be Hacked Or Given Viruses
Too Small For Transportation Of Materials
Low Resistance To Weather
Cannot Refuel In Flight
If Connection Is Lost With The Ground Station, The
Vehicle May Be Lost.
