ISR Missions in Maritime Environment Using UAS - Contributions of the Portuguese Air Force Academy Research Centre
摘要
This paper outlines the main research activities carried out by the Portuguese Air Force Academy Research Centre (CIAFA) in the domain of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions in maritime environment. Firstly, a general description of CIAFA is presented. Then, an end-to-end overview of CIAFA contributions regarding UAS airframes, hardware, software and control systems architectures for ISR maritime missions is presented. The wide range of contributions in the field of UAS demonstrates how CIAFA plays an important role in the context of military robotics.
