Unmanned Air Systems: UAV Design, Development and Deployment

Customer Support:Initially, USPS reported they delivered my textbook on my doorstep. In reality, they did not. Luckily I have a door camera and other cameras around the property to prove them wrong. A Plus Textbook assisted me every step of the way with a sense of urgency and care. So they get 5 stars for customer service alone. It wasn't their fault that USPS failed to deliver and poorly handled the package. A Plus sent me a new book with expedited delivery within a couple days.Quality:The textbook quality is as expected for new hardcover. No defects found in my copy and it is in excellent condition. The content of the text so far has been interesting to read. I originally acquired this book for my Aerospace course and look forward to keeping this one in my collection for reference.

This book really covers the foundations of UAV design from the ground up and assumes no previous aeronautical knowledge making this a good book for beginners and experienced aircraft designers. All systems of the UAS are covered in depth as well as ground control, maintenance, launch and recovery. The book is well organized and the reader is not burdened with excessive mathematical formulae. Safety and reliability are also covered. The book uses extensive illustrations and charts. Payload design and navigation and communications design are covered extensively. An entire section on certification and testing is included and covers crucial information. finally, sections on deployment, operational trials, and operational roles are included. All in all, this book covers all aspects from design to testing to operational deployment, a coverage which is complete and is not seen in many other UAS books. Overall, I highly recommend this book as a first UAS book and also as a book for aeronautical experts looking to expand into UAS technology.

This book would help commanders in the military understand their systems a lot better.

While I was looking for more information on sUAS systems, this book was fascinating in its description of the technology and operation of the hi-tech military systems now in use.

Well written and comprehensive text on the subject. This book is an excellent primer on the subject that will inform beginner's and experts alike. The depth and breadth of information presented ensures this book will be an excellent reference text to sit on your desk.

This is a great book for anyone looking at a potential career in the UAV industry. I had to buy this book for a class at UND and I found it to be very informative and well-written book.

Textbook required for my degree program. Good book, not sure what else to add.

got for a class, passed the class

I came to this book with little or now understanding of UAS. I now have a solid base in UAS systems, industry and players. This book is just the beginning.

This book was on my night table for over a year. Again and again I took it and read a few pages and put it aside again, after getting totally bored.The author may be a UAV expert. A good writer he is not. Next time he should team up with a professional writer.

Comprehensive introduction to UAV systems and designs. A great starter book.

A really great book, slightly lacking in the area of small rotary wing uavs but extremely comprehensive in other areas.
