The Unmanned Air Reconnaissance System. Briefing Given at Annual Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems (AUVS) Symposium (13th), 21 July 1986.

Abstract

The study took a cursory look at the experience in Vietnam with Unmanned Reconnaissance Systems, identified deficiencies, and proposed a generic unmanned system for the next generation of reconnaissance vehicles. The study concluded that: the technology exists today to produce an unmanned reconnaissance system that could operate effectively against fixed targets. The UARS could have a day/night under-the-weather capability and provide near-real-time intelligence. Overview: Cursory Look at Vietnam Experience; Deficiencies in Reconnaissance RPVs; Generic Unmanned Air Reconnaissance Vehicle (UARV); UARV Missions and Concept of Operations; Data Rates; Data Link; Generic Data-Link Cost; Cost Effectiveness; Conclusions.
