Abstract :
UVs offer many advantages over inhabited vehicles. They can be dispatched into high-risk areas and remain there for longer periods. As the complexity and number of UVs and onboard sensors increase, the effective management of data becomes a significant issue. However, through careful tasking and intelligent algorithms the volume of information relayed to operators and analysts can be controlled. The often conflicting requirements of sensors carried by UAVs, and micro-UAVs in particular, compromises performance against physical properties.
