1 UAS110 Intro to Unmanned Aerial Systems 2018 J. Sumey California University of PA rev. 9/11/18 Overview UAVs may be classified according to various metrics scale (size) method of lift generation range/endurance mission purpose for particular reasons cost/budgeting mission accommodations amount of support (ground) required application UAS110 UAV Classification 2 Impetus during the early years of UAV development, classification methods for UAVs were driven by military requirements and the creation of standard terminology, although it changes frequently range of sizes varies greatly palm of your hand to as large as full-size aircraft UAS110 UAV Classification 3 1

2 Need for all Sizes small/miniature UAVs sizes from an insect to a model airplane man portable (soldier, border guard, fire fighter/rescuer, etc.) no competition with manned air vehicles larger UAVs long endurance / high altitudes to loiter for surveillance large payload delivery (supplies, munitions, etc.) passenger transportation? UAS110 UAV Classification 4 UAV Classification by Size UAS110 UAV Classification 5 Very Small / "Micro" size range: insect up to cm (12-20") weight: <1 lb. advantage: covertness lift generation methods rotary wing (multicopters) maneuverability, "powerless perching" flapping wings replicate bird flight dynamics biomimicry/biomimetrics the imitation of the models, systems, and elements of nature for the purpose of solving complex human problems (wikipedia.org) UAS110 UAV Classification 6 2

3 flapping Maveric US Army Drone by U of MD Bionic Bird ( multirotor Parrot AR.Drone ( Estes Proto-X ( DJI Spark ( UAS110 UAV Classification 7 Small size range: m (2-10'), i.e. model airplane sized weight: lbs. advantages: portability, longer duration, payload capability lift generation methods traditional airfoil ala airplane rotary wing helicopter, multirotor UAS110 UAV Classification 8 airfoil AAI Aerosonde (Textron) 1 st UAV to cross Atlantic in 1998, 3270 km in 26:45 hybrid quad: rotary wing DJI Mavic, S1000 ( UAS110 UAV Classification 9 3

4 Medium too large to be carried by one person yet smaller than a manned light aircraft size range: 5-10 m (16-32') payloads: kg ( lbs) types: conventional wing, helicopter launch from runway or launcher recovery via runway or arrestment net UAS110 UAV Classification 10 airfoil RQ-5A Hunter (TRW) rotary wing Yamaha R-MAX Northrop Grumman Fire Scout UAS110 UAV Classification 11 Large larger than typical manned light aircraft size range: >10 m (32 ft) advantages: long distances, extended endurance, significant payloads customers: military, NASA, US Border Patrol UAS110 UAV Classification 12 4

5 Predator B / Reaper (General Atomics) 65' wingspan, 36' length, 300 mph, 50000' ceiling, 3800 lb payload, 1100 mi range, 14 hrs endurance Global Hawk (Northrop Grumman) 130' wingspan, 47' length, 400 mph, 60000' ceiling, lb payload, mi range, 32+ hrs endurance UAS110 UAV Classification 13 Other UAV Classification Methods UAS110 UAV Classification 14 Expendable UAVs not intended to return after completing mission "guided missle", ex: Tomahawk alternate def: a UAV that can be recovered if possible but loss is considered acceptable UAS110 UAV Classification 15 5

6 Classification by Range/Endurance low cost close range 3 mi, approx $10k ea. close range 30 mi, 1-6 hr operation operate from small ships (Navy), day/night recon & surveillance short range 180 mi, 8-12 hrs operate from larger ships (Navy), day/night recon & surveillance mid range 400 mi, high speed day/night recon & surveillance, gather meteorological data endurance 180 mi, 36 hr, 30000' ceiling day/night recon & surveillance, comms relay UAS110 UAV Classification 16 Classification by Mission primary mission objective: military or civilian largest (common) objective: military reconnaissance & surveillance civilian search and surveillance/observation other objectives communication relay / low-cost satellite meteorological data collection atmospheric sampling of chemical / radiation unmanned ground attack aircraft (guided bombs) UAS110 UAV Classification 17 6
