Introduction to Unmanned Vehicles Darien Men’s Association March 22, 2014
Modern UAV Introduction by PBS • 2:00 – 8:58
QH-50 DASH and Snoopy on the USS MansfieldSouth China Sea 1968
Types of UAV’s • Target and Decoy • Reconnaissance • Combat • Research and Development • Civil and Commercial
Benefits • Eliminate a person in the cockpit • Inexpensive compared to manned missions • Endurance • Precision • Elusive • Layers of Oversight

Drawbacks to Drones • Air-space (FAA will regulate in 2015) • Accidents • Loss of Control • Too Much Information • Too easy to go to war • Due Process • Privacy
FAA Test Sites • University of Alaska: Intends to develop standards for categories of unmanned aircraft and conduct research on principles of future drone operations. • State of Nevada: Plans to focus on certification requirements for remotely controlled aircraft, and how they will fit into the nation's air-traffic-control system. • New York's Griffiss International Airport: Will work on sensors to prevent airborne collisions, in addition to research on integrating drones into congested airspace. • North Dakota Department of Commerce: Plans to develop highly reliable communications links between ground controllers and drones. • Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi: Will concentrate on developing tests to certify airworthiness of future unmanned aerial systems. • Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University: With Rutgers University, intends to conduct research on failure modes and technical risks associated with drones.
