Participants express enthusiasm for UAVs, emphasizing their effectiveness in military applications, particularly in saving lives through enhanced reconnaissance. A former US Marine shares insights on the operational integration of UAVs, suggesting that while they are valuable tools, their organization within military structures requires improvement.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology
  • Familiarity with military applications of UAVs
  • Knowledge of force structure organization in military operations
  • Basic principles of aerodynamics and flight mechanics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specifications and capabilities of the Tern UAV
  • Explore the Evolution UAV's design and operational uses
  • Investigate military UAV integration strategies and best practices
  • Learn about advancements in UAV technology and their implications for future warfare
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for aerospace engineers, military strategists, and anyone interested in the development and application of UAV technology in both civilian and military contexts.

I recently graduated with my Physics degree and am now employed by a company that designs and manufactures unmanned aerial vehicles.

I was just curious as to what some of you thought about the whole idea. Some of our vehicles are posted on our internet site incase you want more information about them. Both the Tern and the Evolution (my favorites) have a video link at the bottom of the information page.

I guess that's it for now, just wanted to see if there would be a vivid discussion about UAVs if I posted something about them.

ummmmmm

Don't all respond at once.
 
UAV's are l337, there is nothing cooler than having a robot spy or attack an enemy.
 
i know. from some of the stories that i hear, the information that troops are getting from the UAV's is really saving their lives. :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:
 
As a former grunt(8 years USMC), I think they are great tools in theory.

How they are organized into the force structure is another issue(badly imo) :)

Good luck at your job.
 
Thank you. We are still overcomming obstacles, but all in all things are getting better, and we are getting better feedback from the field.
