Despite all the advantages of UAV systems, it has a few drawbacks such as privacy, airspace issues and probability of crashes. UAV is a complex system that comprises of various subsystems such as aircraft, payloads, control stations, aircraft launch and recovery subsystems, support subsystems, communication subsystems, and transport subsystems. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of UAV systems. It also traces the progress of this field and highlights some of its key concepts and applications. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
