1. |
Outline |
|
In this course, at first, the history and current status of Unmanned Aerial-vehicle System (UAS) will be overviewed. Then brief review of basic theory such as flight dynamics, overview of UAV structure, propulsion sub-system, equipment sub-system, electrical sub-system, radio communication sub-system, guidance, navigation and control sub-system and the ground facilities necessary for UAV operation will be lectured on.
|
2. |
Objectives |
|
In this course, students will understand the configuration of the various Unmanned Aerial-Vehicle (UAV) subsystems, UAS system including several ground equipment, and also the design concepts. Through this series of lectures, students will master the basic knowledge of UAS. After that, we will discuss the future UAS.
