The "Handbook of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles" is a reference text
for the academic and research communities, industry, manufacturers,
users, practitioners, Federal Government, Federal and State
Agencies, the private sector, as well as all organizations that are
and will be using unmanned aircraft in a wide spectrum of
applications. The Handbook covers all aspects of UAVs, from design
to logistics and ethical issues. It is also targeting the young
investigator, the future inventor and entrepreneur by providing an
overview and detailed information of the state-of-the-art as well
as useful new concepts that may lead to innovative research. The
contents of the Handbook include material that addresses the needs
and " know how " of all of the above sectors targeting a very
diverse audience.
The Handbook offers a unique and comprehensive treatise of
everything one needs to know about unmanned aircrafts, from
conception to operation, from technologies to business activities,
users, OEMs, reference sources, conferences, publications,
professional societies, etc. It should serve as a Thesaurus, an
