Unmanned aerial vehicles : breakthroughs in research and practice

First used
in military applications, unmanned aerial vehicles are becoming an integral
aspect of modern society and are expanding into the commercial, scientific,
recreational, agricultural, and surveillance sectors. With the increasing use
of these drones by government officials, business professionals, and civilians,
more research is needed to understand their complexity both in design and
function.

Unmanned
Aerial Vehicles: Breakthroughs in Research and Practice is a critical source of
academic knowledge on the design, construction, and maintenance of drones, as
well as their applications across all aspects of society. Highlighting a range
of pertinent topics such as intelligent systems, artificial intelligence, and
situation awareness, this publication is an ideal reference source for military
consultants, military personnel, business professionals, operation managers,
surveillance companies, agriculturalists, policymakers, government officials,
