Covering all facets of UAS elements and operation—including an examination of safety procedures and human factors—this material gives readers a truly complete and practical understanding of what it takes to safely operate UASs for a variety of missions in the National Airspace System. Topics covered include: The U.S. aviation regulatory system Certificate of authorization process UAS for geospatial data Automation and autonomy in UAS Sensors and payloads With helpful end-of-chapter discussion questions, this resource is designed to give beginning university students and other new entrants to the field a comprehensive, easy-to-understand first overview of the field. The book’s broad scope also makes it useful as a foundation for professionals embarking on further study.
Download or read book Army Unmanned Aircraft System Operations written by Department of the Army and published by . This book was released on 2008-04-04 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Field manual interim (FMI) 3-04.155 is the Army's keystone doctrine for how to fight and sustain Army Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). The doctrinal basis for operational concepts described in this manual are established in field manual (FM) 1, FM 3-0, and FM 3-04.111. FMI 3-04.155 provides overarching doctrinal guidance for employing Army UAS in full spectrum operations and is in synchronization with joint doctrine. It provides a foundation for the development of tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) in other and follow-on Army manuals. Emphasis is placed on force structure and the enhanced operational capability provided by UAS. FMI 3-04.155, the Army's overarching UAS manual, provides unit leaders and their staff officers and noncommissioned officers (NCOs) with the knowledge necessary to properly plan for and execute the integration of Army UAS into combined arms operations. This is the Army's principal tool to assist Army branch schools in teaching UAS operations. Army schools and centers will incorporate the concepts and requirements in this document into their doctrinal manuals and professional military education literature as appropriate. This manual will also inform joint, multinational, and coalition forces of the capabilities and procedures for using the Army UAS in joint and multinational operations. UAS support operations throughout the U.S. Army, as well as joint, interagency, and multinational (JIM) operations across the full spectrum of conflict. UAS organizations conduct combat operations throughout the depth and breadth of the battlefield and will eventually exist at multiple echelons within the Army. Although the organization and composition of JIM UAS are different by echelon and service, their employment and principal focus are similar to Army UAS operations. Chapter 1 focuses on UAS organizations, missions, and fundamentals. Chapter 2 provides an overview of Army UAS and system descriptions and capabilities. Chapter 3 provides an overview of joint UAS and the capabilities they give the maneuver commander. Chapter 4 discusses UAS planning considerations all users must be familiar with for the successful execution of UAS operations. Chapter 5 discusses employment of the UAS. Chapter 6 discusses sustainment requirements and considerations for UAS operations at all echelons. Appendix A provides checklist for planning and coordinating UAS operations. Appendix B details planning for the integration of Small UAS into airspace coordination. Appendix C gives UAS commanders an overview of training responsibilities and requirements. Appendix D provides joint users with information to obtain Army UAS support. Appendix E gives guidance for recovering downed unmanned aircraft. This FMI applies to the transformation force across the full spectrum of military operations. FMI 3-04.155 specifically addresses UAS operations; refer to the appropriate chapter/appendix of FM 3-04.111 for guidance in other aviation related areas.

Download or read book The International Civil Operations of Unmanned Aircraft Systems under Air Law written by Luis Fernando Fiallos Pazmiño and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aviation Law and Policy Series # 19 The incursion of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) is radically reshaping the future of international civil aviation. As the civil uses of UAS increase and the technology matures in parallel, questions around the associated legal implications remain unanswered, even in such fundamental legal regimes of international civil aviation as airspace, aircraft, international air navigation, international air transport, and safety. This book – the first to consider international law and regulations to cross-border civil flights of UAS – explores current legal and regulatory frameworks from the perspective of how they may facilitate the operations of UAS. The author, a well-known air law practitioner and diplomat, identifies the legal challenges and proposes sound, well-informed measures to tackle those challenges. The book explores comprehensively the means of incorporating UAS within the arena of air law while stimulating further research and debate on the topic. Analysis of the cross-border operations of UAS focuses on aspects relevant to their immediate future, and address such questions as the following: What processes are currently in place? What factors require attention? What aspects particularly influence the future of UAS? Is the current international legal framework adequate to ensure the operation and development of UAS while preserving high levels of safety? How will artificial intelligence impact the civil operations of UAS? The author’s analyses draw on relevant initiatives in existing and proposed Standards and Recommended Practices for the operation of UAS on cross-border flights, as well as States’ regulation of UAS within their national airspace. Also described are the main bilateral and multilateral air services and transport agreements with respect to their application to the operation of UAS. Given the escalating need to adopt a comprehensive international regulatory framework for the operation of UAS aimed at facilitating its safe and efficient integration – even as the technology advances and continues to outpace law while the potential for incidents involving UAS grows – this book is well timed to meet the challenge for States and International Civil Aviation Organization and airspace planners. Its innovative approaches to the management of the air traffic safety and security of UAS are sure to influence the development of regulations for civil UAS. The book will be welcomed by aviation regulators, interested international and regional organisations, research organisations, aviation lawyers, and academics in international law and air law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: UNMANNED AIRCRAF T SYSTEMS UNMANNED AIRCRAF T SYSTEMS An unmanned aircraft system (UAS), sometimes called a drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot on board ??? instead, the UAS can be controlled by an operator station on the ground or may be autonomous in operation. UAS are capable of addressing a broad range of applications in diverse, complex environments. Traditionally employed in mainly military applications, recent regulatory changes around the world are leading to an explosion of interest and wide-ranging new applications for UAS in civil airspace. Covering the design, development, operation, and mission profiles of unmanned aircraft systems, this single, comprehensive volume forms a complete, stand-alone reference on the topic. The volume integrates with the online Wiley Encyclopedia of Aerospace Engineering, providing many new and updated articles for existing subscribers to that work. The chapters cover the following items: Airframe configurations and design (launch systems, power generation, propulsion) Operations (missions, integration issues, and airspace access) Coordination (multivehicle cooperation and human oversight) With contributions from leading experts, this volume is intended to be a valuable addition, and a useful resource, for aerospace manufacturers and suppliers, governmental and industrial aerospace research establishments, airline and aviation industries, university engineering and science departments, and industry analysts, consultants, and researchers.
