WHAT IS UAV
Commonly known as drone. It is a small plane without pilot . It is like a satellite in the atmosphere Originally designed for spy mission. It has already been successfully tested in
killing of bin laden in pakistan and in iraq war.
Weight 500 pound and 8 feet in length. Can fly continuously to 50 hour at a height of
30,000 feet and can carry 800 kg of missile.
CAPABILITY OF UAV Can destroy ground or air target with pin point
accuracy. Pilot is unharmed which is miles away from
point of operation. Deliver the streaming live video to any place on
globe for eg. to president in white house. It goes to a height of 10,000 feet in a minute
only from the runway. low thermal emission make it unnoticeable to
the heat seeking missiles and small size to radar.
It can see everything but no one can see it.
Sensors in drone Basically there are 3 type of sensor in
drone
1.RADAR-detect flying objects in sky.
2. High resolution optical camera –upto 1.3 billion pixels.
3. Highly sensitive Infra red camera-add eyeduring cloudy weather and in night to drone.It also helps to position the target on GPS.
How drone is controlled?
What if drone looses its control from satellite? If some other drone is flying in range then it
can be controlled through that drone.If no other drone is there then.. it is already programmed so that if it in
case it looses the control from the satellite or ground base station then it will automatically return to nearest home feeded already.
There is one more ultimate solution of the problem is that if it is unable to return home due to sortage of fuel or any other reason it will automatically do “suicide”.
How the uav are launched to sky?
There are 2 ways .1. Like ordinary plane which first run on runway then take off.2. Like satellites- it is carried in folded form to a height then there it unfolds itself and start flying . video follow.
WORKING PRINCIPLESTEP 1- Two picture are taken at an interval .
Step 2- both picture are overlapped .
Step 3- difference of images is calculated
War time scenario
If any area is to be attacked then a number of uav are engaged to the area this is known as “constellation”
All the drones are constantly communicating
with each other and sharing information about target location and which is going to destroy it.
Also no two drones fly at same height so that they donot collide with each other.
A drone generally carry 3 bombs at a time.
If all bomb has already been utilized then drone itself act as a bomb.
It can itself collide with target and destroy it.
conclusions
They are very precise and accurate that creates a tough competition for the enemy, creates a unique generation of weapon for the future.
In the battle field they are so much in number that even if we lose some of them it will not effect the overall function of the mission.
Thank you
