Abstract

[What is a UAS or Unmanned Aircraft System? There are many definitions, but in general there are two key characteristics: A UAS does not have a pilot on board and is a system of systems comprising the aircraft and possibly a launcher, control station, communications link, etc. There is a significant number of UAS being developed all over the world, a large number of applications and a considerable market for new systems for the foreseeable future, but on the other hand there are, currently, many restrictions on UAS operations. The scope of the book includes an overview of manned aviation regulations, as well as the history of UAS regulations in the US and internationally. It also estimates the safety levels of manned aviation and presents tools for assessing the risk of UAS operations.]
