Introduction to Unmanned Aircraft Systems, Third Edition surveys the
basics of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), from sensors, controls, and
automation to regulations, safety procedures, and human factors.
Featuring chapters by leading experts, this fully updated bestseller
fills the need for an accessible and effective university textbook.
Focussing on the civilian applications of UAS, the text begins with an
historical overview of unmanned aerial vehicles, and proceeds to examine
each major UAS subsystem. Its combination of understandable technical
coverage and up-to-date information on policy and regulation makes the
text appropriate for both Aerospace Engineering and Aviation programs.
