Description
This research focuses on three types of flight control problems associated with unmanned aircraft systems. The three flight control problems are: external pilot difficulties with inconsistent mapping of the controls to the movement of the aircraft; difficulties associated with the transfer of control from one control location to another during the flight; and problems associated the automation of flight control. Specific accidents associated with...

Description
An invaluable addition to the literature on UAV guidance and cooperative control, Cooperative Path Planning of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles is a dedicated, practical guide to computational path planning for UAVs. One of the key issues facing future development of UAVs is path planning: it is vital that swarm UAVs/ MAVs can cooperate together in a coordinated manner, obeying a pre-planned course but able to react to their environment by communicating...
