3. Accession
• Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) "drone" - an aircraft without
crew on board. Designed for air shooting and real-time
monitoring of ground objects.
4. History
• In 1899, Nikola Tesla has developed and demonstrated a miniature
radio-controlled boat. In 1910, inspired by the success of the Wright
brothers, a young American military engineer Charles Kettering in Ohio
suggested using aircraft without a man. According to his plan-driven
clockwork device to a location it had to drop their wings and fall like a
bomb on the enemy.
5. Construction
• To determine the origin of the Earth and the speed of modern
UAVs tend to use satellite navigation receivers (GPS and
GLONASS). The angles of orientation and overload
determined using gyroscopes and accelerometers.
6. Classification
There are drones:
•unmanned free;
•unmanned automatic;
•unmanned remotely piloted
vehicles (RPV).
There are the following classes
of devices:
•"Micro" - weighing up to 10
kg, the flight time of about 1
hour and altitude of 1
kilometer;
•"Mini" - weighing up to 50 kg,
the time of flight of a few hours
up to 3-5 km;
•medium ("MIDI") - up to 1000
kg, the time of 10-12 hours and
a height of 9-10 km;
•heavy - with altitude up to 20
kilometers and 24 hours of
flight time or more.
7. Military UAV
• Unmanned aerial vehicles, capable of carrying a
combat load and carry out the destruction of land,
air or above / underwater targets. The first drone
strike appeared in the 1950s.
8. UAV civil
• Historically, that the original application was defined as a
combat UAV. However, since the early 2000s, began to assume
enormous importance "micro-drones" are not developed for
the military and purely civilian purposes.
For example:
• Control of fire safety;
• Mapping;
• Air photo and video.
