UAV Testing and Validation
摘要
In the contemporary era, characterized by accelerated technological advancement, UAVs have become an indispensable component of contemporary society. These vehicles, initially developed for military purposes, have undergone a significant evolution, becoming a highly effective tool for civilian applications (see Chap. 1 ). These applications include amateur aerial photography, environmental monitoring, commercial cargo delivery operations, and infrastructure inspections. However, such expansion is not without its challenges, including ensuring flight safety, minimizing risks to the public and the environment, and adhering to stringent regulatory standards. This underscores the significance of civilian UAV testing, a comprehensive process entailing ground checks, flight tests, and the verification of results. This ensures the reliability and safety of the vehicles.
