This paper presents an idea-phase introduction of a tactical level communication system (battalion and below). The introduced communication system utilizes Unmanned Aircraft Systems to ensure the message throughput and to receive and transmit large quantities of data requiring wide bandwidth. The introduced communication system enables utilizing different waveforms and frequencies when communic...

This paper describes a feasibility study that is included with the research, development and testing of a micro communications sonobuoy deployable by Maritime Fixed wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (M-UAV) and rotor wing Quad Copters which are both currently being developed by the University of Adelaide. The micro communications sonobuoy is developed to act as a seamless communication relay betwee...

This paper deals with the leader-follower formation control problem while communication constraint in data transmitting is considered. From a practical point of view, we study the case in which unmanned vehicles are subject to the limited sensing, and communication is of a particular interest. A three-dimensional formation flight of multi-unmanned aerial vehicles with leader-follower configurat...

This paper reflects the state of art in the field of human factors for unmanned aerial vehicles. It describes the GEDIS-UAV guide, which is a modification of the GEDIS guide. It also shows the evaluation of the Sky-eye project graphical user interface as an example of the methodology. The analysis and evaluation method reflected in this paper may be used to improve the graphical user interface ...

This paper proposes a behaviour recognition methodology for ground vehicles moving within road traffic using unmanned aerial vehicles in order to identify suspicious or abnormal behaviour. With the target information acquired by unmanned aerial vehicles and estimated by filtering techniques, ground vehicle behaviour is first classified into representative driving modes, and then a string patter...

Constrained by the satellites orbits, Satellite Remote Sensing is difficult to achieve timeliness requirements. General aerial manned aircraft Remote Sensing is always delayed by the bad weather. Compared with Unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned Airship can fly more lower and slower and you can get more clearer image. So it is more suitable for large scale mapping and other engineering requireme...

Miniature unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) vehicles have become popular due to their compact size, high maneuverability and high payload-to-size ratio. Such vehicles have shown great potential in surveillance and search and rescue; however the “onthe-ground” processing methods implemented are rather insufficient. This paper presents a low cost, h...
