Technology Spotlight
Micro air vehicle (MAV)
Naval Research Laboratory
Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) are becoming common and useful tools for surveillance, providing visible or non-visible sensing of remote or dangerous areas, as well as performing many other tasks. Primary designs are either fixed-wing or rotary-wing. The benefits of the former are speed, coverage area, payload capacity, and ease of operation. Benefits of the latter are hover capability and maneuverability. Navy researchers have combined these two operating modes into one platform to leverage the advantages of both.
