Preface
Introduction to UAV Systems, Fifth Edition, has been written to meet the needs of both newcomers to the world of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems and experienced members of the UAV community who desire an overview and who, though they may find the treatment of their particular discipline elementary, will gain valuable insights into the other disciplines that contribute to a UAV system. The material has been presented such that it is readily understandable to college freshman and to both technical and nontechnical persons working in the UAV field, and is based on standard engineering texts as well as material developed by the authors while working in the field. Most equations have been given without proof and the reader is encouraged to refer to standard texts of each discipline when engaging in actual design or analysis as no attempt is made to make this book a complete design handbook.
This book is also not intended to be the primary text for an introductory course in aerodynamics or imaging sensors or data links. Rather, it is intended to provide enough information in each of those areas, and others, to illustrate how they all play together to support the design of complete UAV systems and to allow the reader to understand how the technology in all of these areas affect the system‐level tradeoffs that shape the overall system design. As such, it might be used as a supplementary text for a course in any of the specialty areas to provide a system‐level context for the specialized material.
For a beginning student, we hope that it will whet the appetite for knowing more about at least one of the technology areas and demonstrate the power of even the simplest mathematical treatment of these subjects in allowing understanding of the tradeoffs that must occur during the system design process.
For a UAV user or operator, we hope that
