Get Small Power: The Role Of Micro And Small Uavs In The Future By James M

The Black Hornet Nano is a military micro unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) developed by Prox Dynamics AS of Norway, and in use by the armed forces of Norway, the United States, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Ireland, Australia, the Netherlands, Poland, New Zealand, India, Turkey, South Africa and Algeria.

All the UAVs are designed for civil applications (civil reconnaissance, civil security, mapping, survey and monitoring, digital elevation model, photography in general etc.)

Drones have long been predicted to revolutionize cargo delivery. In theory, models capable of carrying a large payload should become a more efficient alternative to light transport vehicles and helicopters serving hard-to-reach areas. At the same time, unmanned delivery services are just beginning to get on their feet.

UAVs allow for faster deployment of resources, allowing militaries to respond more quickly to threats. Furthermore, drones have enabled militaries to conduct operations with fewer personnel, as they no longer need to deploy personnel to the battlefield in order to carry out missions.

Small UAVs Examples of members of this small UAV class are: the 1-meter long RQ-11 Raven, by US Aero Vironment with a wingspan of 1.4 m; the Turkish Bayraktar (Figure 1.5), which weighs about 5 kg and has a data link range of 20 km; the US Army RQ-7 Shadow (Figure 1.3);

Small unmanned aircraft means an unmanned aircraft weighing less than 55 pounds on takeoff, including everything that is on board or otherwise attached to the aircraft.
