Unmanned Aircraft Systems

An Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) is an aircraft and its associated elements which are operated with no pilot on board. UAS is an overarching term for the entire system comprising an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) which is applied to describe a self piloted or remotely piloted aircraft that can carry cameras, sensors, communications equipment or other payloads, as well those which support [Pg.118]

An aircraft is defined as any machine that can derive support in the atmosphere from the reactions of the air other than the reactions of the air against the earth s surface. This definition appears in Annexes 1,2,3,7,8,11,13,16 and 17 to the Convention on fiitemational Civil Aviation, signed at Chicago on 7 December 1944. See ICAO Doc 7300/9 Ninth Edition, 2006. [Pg.118]

AeroVironment is a technology company that was founded in 1971 by Paul MacCready. The company focuses on energy technologies and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). They are perhaps best known for the solar-powered Helios Prototype that was built for NASA. They have also built and produced a wide range of UAVs. [Pg.1772]

The aerospace community has adopted the term unmanned aircraft system (UAS) to replace unmanned air vehicle (UAV), because a contemporary unmanned aircraft is a complex system of tightly integrated hardware and software that typically supports data acquisition, processing, and communication rather than cargo transport.

A UA is an unmanned aircraft it is one component of an unmanned aircraft system (UAS). A UA can fly autonomously or be piloted remotely. It is also sometimes referred to as an unmanned aircraft vehicle (UAV) or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). [Pg.442]

To illustrate pattern instantiation, we use the requirements breakdown pattern (Fig. 3), which we have derived from our ongoing experience with safety case development for an unmanned aircraft system [2], [4], [6]. It also extends our previous work on algorithmically deriving argument structure fragments from requirements/hazards tables [3]. [Pg.28]
