Why?
34. UAVs perform a wide variety of functions.Remote SensingUAV remote sensing functions include electromagnetic spectrum sensors, biological sensors, and chemical sensors. TransportUAVs can transport goods using various means based on the configuration of the UAV itself. Most payloads are stored in an internal payload bay somewhere in the airframe. Scientific ResearchUnmanned aircraft are uniquely capable of penetrating areas which may be too dangerous for piloted craft. Aerosonde unmanned aircraft system in 2006 as a hurricane hunter.

35. UAV classification
UAVs typically fall into one of six functional categories (although multi-role airframe platforms are becoming more prevalent):
Target and decoy - providing ground and aerial gunnery a target that simulates an enemy aircraft or missile
Reconnaissance - providing battlefield intelligence
Combat - providing attack capability for high-risk missions (see Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle)
Logistics - UAVs specifically designed for cargo and logistics operation
Research and development - used to further develop UAV technologies to be integrated into field deployed UAV aircraft
Civil and Commercial UAVs - UAVs specifically designed for civil and commercial applications
They can also be categorised in terms of range/altitude and the following has been advanced as relevant at such industry events as ParcAberporth Unmanned Systems forum.
Handheld 2,000 ft (600 m) altitude, about 2 km range
Close 5,000 ft (1,500 m) altitude, up to 10 km range
NATO type 10,000 ft (3,000 m) altitude, up to 50 km range
Tactical 18,000 ft (5,500 m) altitude, about 160 km range
MALE (medium altitude, long endurance) up to 30,000 ft (9,000 m) and range over 200 km
HALE (high altitude, long endurance) over 30,000 ft and indefinite range
HYPERSONIC high-speed, supersonic (Mach 1-5) or hypersonic (Mach 5+) 50,000 ft (15,200 m) or suborbital altitude, range over 200km
ORBITAL low earth orbit (Mach 25+)

36. Introduction
39. The Predator recently got approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to fly in domestic disaster relief and rescue operations. This was viewed by industry insiders as a major victory for UAVs, which so far have not been welcome to fly in the U.S. national airspace because of safety concerns. “How do we make sure the UAVs won’t crash into airliners?” Albert asks.
The FAA hired Lockheed Martin Corp. to develop a “roadmap” for introducing unmanned aircraft into the national airspace system. Albert says that the FAA also intends to build a digital simulation of the airspace to fly digital mockups of UAVs and test their safety.
Both civilian and military use of UAVs will soar during the next 10 to 15 years, Albert says. The UAV business has escalated by 25 percent per year recently, he adds. “It’s one of the few growth markets out there.”
Civilian use probably will not take off in the near future. “There are 450 UAV types out there. How do you control all of them?” Albert says.
40. Qinetiq, a British defense technology firm that develops unmanned aircraft has built a new training facility in ParcAberporth, Wales, in an effort to attract new customers from the civilian sector, says Andrew Chadwick, program manager at Qinetiq. UAVs will be required to comply with the same safety standards as passenger aircraft, which is not the case with military UAVs, he says. So far, “regulators are not prepared to define the requirements. They are looking to the industry to define the requirements and test them at their own expense.”
41. AERODYNAMIC TEST UAVS
* One specialized application of UAVs is for aeronautic research. It is in principle much cheaper to test unusual aircraft configurations by implementing them as small UAVs, instead of large piloted aircraft. NASA has proven enthusiastic about the use of UAVs for such purposes, and has conducted a number of aeronautic test programs using UAVs.
NASA had long had a tradition of flying scale models of aircraft, sometimes with rocket boosters, for aerodynamic tests, but in general these vehicles were basically instrumented flying wind-tunnel test models and were not really UAVs. However, in the early 1970s, NASA built three 3/8ths-scale unpowered drone versions of the new McDonnell Douglas F-15 fighter to confirm that it was as agile as the designers hoped it would be. These three machines were referred to as "remotely piloted research vehicles (RPRVs)" and were taken aloft over Edwards Air Force Base (AFB) in California by the NASA B-52 carrier aircraft, to be released at high altitude. They would glide back to earth and land with retractable skids on the dry lakebed at Edwards. The RPRVs could also be fitted with a parachute to be snagged by a helicopter in flight for recovery, just like the old Lightning Bugs.
42. * The "Drones for Aerodynamic & Structural Testing (DAST)" program was conducted from 1977 to 1983 at the NASA Langley and Dryden Flight Centers. It involved flights of modified Ryan Firebee II supersonic target drones to test new wing designs and wing control systems. The Firebee II was selected because it had supersonic performance, its wings could be easily replaced, it used only tail-mounted control surfaces, and because it was available at low cost from the US Air Force.
After initial test flights with a Firebee II in its normal configuration but with added instrumentation, NASA fitted a Firebee II with an aeroelastic, supercritical research wing suitable for a Mach 0.98 cruise airliner. A total of ten flights were made, with initial launches from the NASA Boeing B-52 bomber and later from a DC-130 Hercules drone controller aircraft, and a NASA Lockheed F-104 Starfighter performing chase duties. The DAST drones were radio-controlled and recovered by parachute with helicopter snatch. The program encountered difficulties, with two crashes, one in 1980 and one in 1983, and was abandoned after the second crash.
