Download or read book Unmanned Systems of World Wars I and II written by H. R. Everett and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2015-11-13 with total page 767 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive technical history of air, land, sea, and underwater unmanned systems, by a distinguished U.S. Navy roboticist. Military drones have recently been hailed as a revolutionary new technology that will forever change the conduct of war. And yet the United States and other countries have been deploying such unmanned military systems for more than a century. Written by a renowned authority in the field, this book documents the forgotten legacy of these pioneering efforts, offering the first comprehensive historical and technical accounting of unmanned air, land, sea, and underwater systems. Focusing on examples introduced during the two world wars, H. R. Everett meticulously traces their development from the mid-nineteenth century to the early Cold War. A pioneering Navy roboticist, Everett not only describes these systems in detail but also reverse-engineers the designs in order to explain how they operated in real-world conditions of the time. More than 500 illustrations—photographs, drawings, and plans, many of them never before published—accompany the text. Everett covers the evolution of early wire-guided submersibles, tracing the development of power, propulsion, communication, and control; radio-controlled surface craft, deployed by both Germany and Great Britain in World War I; radio-controlled submersibles; radio-controlled aircraft, including the TDR-1 assault drone project in World War II—which laid the groundwork for subsequent highly classified drone programs; and remote-controlled ground vehicles, including the Wehrmacht's Goliath and Borgward demolition carriers.

This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unmanned systems continue to deliver new and enhanced battlefield capabilities to the warfighter. While the demand for unmanned systems continues unabated today, a number of factors will influence unmanned program development in the future. Three primary forces are driving the Department of Defense's (DoD) approach in planning for and developing unmanned systems. 1. Combat operations in Southwest Asia have demonstrated the military utility of unmanned systems on today's battlefields and have resulted in the expeditious integration of unmanned technologies into the joint force structure. However, the systems and technologies currently fielded to fulfill today's urgent operational needs must be further expanded (as described in this Roadmap) and appropriately integrated into Military Department programs of record (POR) to achieve the levels of effectiveness, efficiency, affordability, commonality, interoperability, integration, and other key parameters needed to meet future operational requirements. 2. Downward economic forces will continue to constrain Military Department budgets for the foreseeable future. Achieving affordable and cost-effective technical solutions is imperative in this fiscally constrained environment. 3. The changing national security environment poses unique challenges. A strategic shift in national security to the Asia-Pacific Theater presents different operational considerations based on environment and potential adversary capabilities that may require unmanned systems to operate in anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) areas where freedom to operate is contested. Similarly, any reallocation of unmanned assets to support other combatant commanders (CCDRs) entails its own set of unique challenges, which will likely require unmanned systems to operate in more complex environments involving weather, terrain, distance, and airspace while necessitating extensive coordination with allies and host nations. The combination of these primary forces requires further innovative technical solutions that are effective yet affordable for program development. The purpose of this Roadmap is to articulate a vision and strategy for the continued development, production, test, training, operation, and sustainment of unmanned systems technology across DoD. This "Unmanned Systems Integrated Roadmap" establishes a technological vision for the next 25 years and outlines actions and technologies for DoD and industry to pursue to intelligently and affordably align with this vision. The Roadmap articulates this vision and strategy in eight chapters:

This book was released on 2024-06-27 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book completes my unmanned systems trilogy and provides an update on the capabilities and threat potential of Unmanned Systems since my previous two books, entitled Unmanned Systems: Savior or Threat and The Importance and Vulnerabilities of U.S. Critical Infrastructure to Unmanned Systems and Cyber. The U.S. Congress and military services claim humans will control artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced autonomous weapon systems, yet they are severely mistaken. The age of autonomous warfare has already arrived, and its incorporation of AI has begun. Our strategic competitors know that AI will digest volumes of information and make decisions far faster than human beings. They have already been unleashed without a human in the loop to authorize engagements against human beings. Our world is embroiled in a technological revolution with unmanned systems and the meteoric rise of more responsive and innovative AI algorithms. These two entities are not in their infancy, for they have emerged and grown immensely in capability, potential, and threat. There is a fierce, modern-day race among countries to conduct research and development to get improved unmanned systems and AI out to military forces, governments, companies, and the general populace. By combining armed and autonomous unmanned systems with AI, we are leap-frogging humanity past science fiction movies towards real-world militarized, AI-enhanced, autonomous unmanned systems and, quite possibly, Skynet.

Download or read book Unmanned Aircraft Systems Federal Actions Needed to Ensure Safety and Expand Their Potential Uses Within the National Airspace System written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Federal agencies such as DHS, the Department of Commerce, and NASA use UASs in many areas, such as border security, weather research, and forest fire monitoring. These agencies have plans to expand their UAS use in domestic airspace, and local governments and commercial entities also have interest in using UASs. Many factors support the potential for expanded use of UASs. For example, the nation's industrial base has expanded to support military operations and the number of trained UAS operators is increasing as personnel return from overseas duty. Moreover, some of the technology used in military UAS operations could be applied to civil uses. DHS is expanding its use of UASs for border security and NASA is likely to continue using UASs to gather scientific data. Additionally, local law enforcement and firefighting agencies have expressed interest in using UASs to assist at crime scenes and wildfire locations, and commercial users envision using UASs for tasks such as photographing real estate or inspecting pipelines. According to an industry forecast, the market for government and commercial-use UASs could grow in the future. The forecast also indicates that the United States could account for 73 percent of the world s research and development investment for UAS technology over the coming decade. According to a UAS study and experts we surveyed, UAS development could lead to technological advances that could benefit all national airspace users. For example, some experts we surveyed noted that improved collision avoidance technologies developed for UASs could lead to reduced aircraft separation requirements, which could increase airspace capacity. Additionally, UASs could produce environmental benefits if they assume some missions currently performed by manned aircraft by using quieter engines that produce fewer emissions, according to experts we surveyed.
