Over the last ten years, the numbers of unmanned air vehicles
(UAVs) or "drones" have changed from being just a few specialist
systems, used for scientific data gathering and military purposes,
to them proliferating in huge numbers. They are used across a broad
range of different leisure, commercial and military activities.
UAVs can be used for: movement of items in factories for
manufacturing, passenger and freight transportation, can take
various roles in the agriculture and forestry industries
(dispensing seeds, watering and monitoring crops), remote sensing
for the oil and gas industries, traffic flow monitoring, support of
emergency services, hobbies, security, military and many other
applications. The expansion in the use of unmanned air vehicles has
come about due to the development of low cost, high performance
stable platforms, employing equally low-cost communication and
navigation systems supplemented by simple to use software and
interfaces. Therefore, there is a need to be able to monitor the
rapidly changing use of airspace, especially at low and normally
neglected altitudes to ensure UAVs do not compromise safety or are
used for malicious purposes. Radar is the only sensor able to
perform this function on a 24-hour, all weather, wide-area basis.
This book, concerned with radar surveillance of UAVs, has been
compiled using contributions from the leading experts around the
world to create a single body of knowledge on this important, yet
still emerging, topic. It is aimed at advanced students and
researchers with an interest in radar systems.
