Ebook: Sense and avoid in UAS: research and applications

This book covers the problem of detect, sense and avoid in UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) in depth and combines the theoretical and application results by leading academics and researchers from industry and academia. The book presents a holistic view of the sense and avoid problem in the wider application of autonomous systems; includes information on human factors, regulatory issues and navigation, control, aerodynamics and physics aspects of the sense and avoid problem in UAS; provides professional, scientific and reliable content that is easy to understand; and includes contributions from leading engineers and researchers in the field. This is an invaluable source of original and specialized information. It acts as a reference manual for practicing engineers and advanced theoretical researchers and also forms a useful resource for younger engineers and postgraduate students. With its credible sources and thorough review process, this book provides a reliable source of information in an area that is fast expanding but scarcely covered.
