Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV)



.
SELEX S&AS UK UAV Flight Centre at ParcAberporth 
SELEX S&AS UK has developed a systems integration capability for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). Its capabilities include a comprehensive range of cutting edge sensors, airframes, control stations and networked ground and air sensors.
 
The use of UAV as an intelligence gathering or surveillance platform is well known for both military and civil use. For military use the advantages include low cost of operation compared to manned platforms, an ability to 'look over the next hill' for ground forces while keeping them out of harms way and an ability to provide persistent untiring surveillance.
 
For civil use UAV again offers cost savings over manned aircraft. The sensors that are used for military purposes can also be deployed for peacetime activities such as Search & Rescue, pipeline and power line monitoring, agriculture, police work and customs and excise
