“A drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), it is an aircraft without a human pilot. » They help prevent the lives of soldiers from being put in danger in the face of a potential enemy. These planes can be small enough to fit in your pocket and as tall as a three-story building. Performance depends on mission, power, engine type, speed, endurance, weight and altitude. Technology is advancing, drones have the ability to have a camera for surveillance, missiles to fire at a target, a GPS satellite for coordination and the ability to stay in the air for hours with minimal fuel consumption. Are drones effective as we would like to think? Are we doing more harm than good? Verifying an attack such as the civilian population, collateral damage, and identifying the target actually destroyed, these things are difficult to assess. The incredible beast commonly known as the drone found success thanks to “Abraham Karem”. His motto is: “if you design as well as possible, you will achieve performance by design”. In 1980-1983, the first “Altruist” prototype was built. The motor/propeller was placed at the rear, so as not to interfere with the sensors at the front, the inverted tail is still visible. Altruist was built from scratch in his garage. A go-kart engine has been modified to burn a tenth of a gallon of fuel in an hour. Altruist quickly evolved into Amber, a five-foot-long, twenty-eight-foot-wingspan drone with an endurance of thirty-eight hours. Karem had a team of three and their design later became known as the Predator. Congress awarded him access to the Airspace system for his drone design. The technology involved is now a valuable asset to the military. She is absolutely brilliant. (GA-ASI) general atomic aeronautical system...... middle of paper ...... are gyroscopes they play the same role as the semi-secular channels in the human body that tell us orientation. Another chip in the robot is the accelerometer that allows the plane to accelerate in the lateral direction, which is the same as the organs in a human head that allow acceleration. When a human pilot senses a sudden change in acceleration, he knows to adjust the plane. The sensors adjust the craft by changing the rotor speed and allow the drones to follow the leader precisely. Anonymous drones that can go anywhere on their own without external sensors or GPS. Border patrols use drones to search for illegal migrants, police use them for reconnaissance. Technology is evolving and we will see more and more drones being used for various things. The Predator and other drones used today are nothing compared to what is to come..
