Unmanned Aerial Systems

Unmanned Aerial Systems includes Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, and ground-based systems which support the flight of UAVs. As the use of drones becomes more prolific in industries such as logistics, entertainment, and defence, the potential for innovation is great. This includes hardware innovation, such as in propulsion design and payload handling, as well as software innovation, such as the use of artificial intelligence.
