What is a UAV?
▪ Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle
• No on-board pilot
– Controlled remotely or autonomously
• Can be very large or very small
• May be less expensive than a piloted aircraft
• Dull, dirty, dangerous jobs
▪ Carleton’s UAVs
• Corvus
• GeoSurv II
• Avionics test beds (ATBs) Carleton University’s GeoSurv II Prototype UAV
