Unmanned Aircraft Systems

Unmanned Aircraft Systems: Safety and Security Issues presents a holistic view of the safety and security problems associated with unmanned systems. The title considers the various safety and security issues involved and draws up a blueprint for future UAV safety and security systems. Three sections present the technical elements of UAS safety and security, the safety technologies and system design of UAS, such as sense and avoidance, navigation and control, and the security technologies and system design of UAS, including cybersecurity anomaly detection and information intrusion response.

This is the first book to deal holistically with UAS safety and operational threats and to consider the system and operational characteristics of UAS in terms of safety and security solutions.

• Provides a holistic accounting of safety and security for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
• Draws up a new blueprint for UAV safety and security system design
• Takes the practical operation of aerial vehicles into account for safety and security design
• Responds holistically to the operational threats confronting Unmanned Aircraft Systems
• Offers safety and security solutions for operating UAVs in non-segregated airspace
