AbstractAn unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) as defined by the Department of Defence is a powered, aerial vehicle that does not carry a human operator, uses aerodynamic forces to provide vehicle lift, can fly autonomously or be piloted remotely, can b expendable or recoverable, and carry a lethal or non lethal payload. Ballistic or semi ballistic vehicles, cruise missiles, and artillery projectiles are not considered unmanned aerial vehicles. In simple terms, a UAV may be used as a robot for spying or combat operations, operated remotely from a ground or air station, have no human pilots and may take a variety of unfamiliar shapes.
This conference will provide a background and basis for the doctrine, strategies, new technologies, platforms and payloads being delivered for UAVs and fast-emerging UCAV and weaponization programs.
