Birth of unmanned vehicles:The earliest attempt at a powered unmanned aerial vehicle was A. M. Lows "Aerial Target" of 1916.The true inventor of a radio controlled aircraft that could fly out of sight was Edward M. Sorensen as evidenced by his US Patent's .The birth of UAVs began in 1959 when United States Air Force officers, concerned about losing pilots over hostile territory.The first major mobile robot development effort named Shakey was created during the 1960s as a research study for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency for Artificial Intelligence (DARPA-AI) to test its obedience with commands.3/22/20152

3/22/20155Future vision of unmanned micro system i.e. HYBRID MICRO SYSTEM

Hybrid Unmanned Systems are vehicles which can be operated either on air, land, water or either in some situation and that utilize technologies, replacing on-site human presence in their operations.

System integration:Making a integrated system which make hybrid system which can be operated in land, water, and air is the main concern. This system will help in variety of operations as they operational capabilities is increased.Current technology and future advancements can and will enable single platforms to perform a variety of missions across multiple capability areas.

applications

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV):An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), known as a drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot.Drone stands for Dynamic Remotely Operated Navigation Equipment.Its flight is either controlled autonomously by computers or under the remote control of a pilot on the ground.Unmanned air vehicles meet a wide array of surveillance and security needs, serving organizations in need of reliable, affordable unmanned systems for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions and experimentation purposes.

Indian Scenario :The Indian Army was the first service to acquire drones, in the late 1990s from Israel, and the air force and navy followed.Open Briefing has identified at least 21 different UAVs (plus variants) now in use or in development by India with four of these being UCAVs.The Indian Army employs about 16 Israeli Herons and at least a dozen Searcher I/IIs for their longer-range surveillance needs.The Indian Navys aviation arm has stood up three surveillance squadrons since 2006, with a fourth reportedly forming.
