Abstract
Sensors and Sensing Strategies enable an unmanned aircraft to “sense,” “see,” “hear,” and “understand” the world around it so that it may function intelligently in an unknown and cluttered environment and in the absence of an onboard pilot. In essence, sensors and sensing strategies are crucial since they provide the technologies that will result in “unmanned aircraft operating as if there were a human pilot onboard.”
