Abstract
Complex engineered systems, like UAVs, combine a diverse grouping of hardware and software technologies for their performance and effectiveness. They must incorporate in their design and operation sophisticated hybrid architectures that integrate in a rather robust way and meet stringiest performance requirements. UAV Architectures presents and discusses UAV system concepts migrating from the individual UAV component technologies towards a “system of systems” view addressing and answering the question “how do we put it all together?”
