UNMANNED: TEXTBOOK FOR UAS STUDIES

A fascinating sector is emerging in the world of aviation. Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) are re-defining aerial activities, and broadening the definition of what it means to be a pilot. Unmanned: Textbook for UAS Studies, shares that emerging world with its readers.

Subjects in Unmanned include: Evolution of UAS, Regulations & Authorities, UAS Classification, Command & Control, Situational Awareness, Types of UAS Operations, Payloads, Special Flight Operating Certificates, and Rotary Wing UAS.

Based on its parental publication, From the Ground Up from which it shares content, Unmanned also delves into subjects that UAS operators must know to fly the systems that are their responsibility. These subjects include: Theory of Flight, Aerodromes & Airspace, Aviation Weather, Air Navigation, and Radio. Unmanned concludes with a comprehensive list of explanations, spanning several pages, of International Abbreviations & Terminology used in the UAS field.

The dawn of this new sector in the aviation world is here. Aviation Publishers presents this new title, to educate those who will fly these fascinating technologically-advanced aerial machines, for commercial applications. Large and small, heavy and light, the UAS is an amazing new breed of aircraft. Its world is broad, and its pace of development is rapid. Unmanned leads the way in tackling the subjects necessary to understand this emerging sector.

About the Authorship

Aviation Publishers has teamed with the Canadian Centre for Unmanned Vehicle Systems (CCUVS) to create this new title, Unmanned. The CCUVS exists to facilitate sustained, profitable growth in the unmanned systems sector. They represent academia, industry and government; they work in air, ground and maritime unmanned systems environments. Their activities and services include: unmanned systems standards work, research assistance, applications and technology solutions development, training, provision of facilities, publishing of industry studies, consultancy, promotion of civil and commercial use of unmanned systems, and stimulating economic growth in the UAS industry.

CCUVS has, as its objectives, the motivation to develop standards for unmanned aircraft systems. Furthermore, they seek to expand the knowledge base of UAS, promote expansion and innovation throughout the industry, promote sector cooperation and growth, and optimize the technology to facilitate UAS integration into world markets.
