Imaging UAVs Move to the Forefront of Surveillance and Reconnaissance
With the U.S. and the U.K. deploying more troops overseas, and given the global increase in the frequency and lethality of terrorist attacks, it’s little surprise that versatile unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are playing a bigger role than ever before to tackle a new era of complex military issues. A key trend is the availability of increasingly compact sensors, which is enabling imaging systems to take to the skies.
