What is the range of a UAV?
Based on the altitude 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 (9,100 m) and indefinite range.
What is the maximum groundspeed of UAV?
100 mph
The maximum allowable altitude is 400 feet above the ground, and higher if your drone remains within 400 feet of a structure. The maximum speed is 100 mph (87 knots).
What is the high altitude region for UAV?
HALE UAVs. The ability to fly above the region of high wind velocities (35 – 40,000 ft.). (See fig 2.1) (1) or to fly above commercial aircraft traffic (51,000 ft.).
Who controls the UAV?
the national aviation authority
The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or Drones, is generally regulated by the national aviation authority of the country. Nevertheless, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) began exploring the use of drone technology as far back as 2005, which resulted in a 2011 report.
How high can airships go?
Airships are a type of aerostat. The term aerostat has also been used to indicate a tethered or moored balloon as opposed to a free-floating balloon. Aerostats today are capable of lifting a payload of 3,000 pounds (1,400 kg) to an altitude of more than 4.5 kilometres (2.8 mi) above sea level.
What can drones see at night?
A typical drone can clearly see a person at night up to 50 meters away, after which point it can only see a blurred figure. Unless they have night vision, drones can see objects at night only if they’re well lit.
What controls the flight controller and how does the UAV maintain control?
UAVs and drones require flight control software and hardware elements that will allow the aircraft to be controlled remotely either directly by a pilot or autonomously by an onboard computer. For fixed-wing UAVs, the pilot may be manually controlling the elevator, aileron, rudder and throttle.
