Comparative Analysis of the Impact of Operating Parameters on Military and Civil Applications of Mini Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)

Mini Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) provides cost effective solutions to a variety of applications. Hence, the flying platform is being increasingly used for a multitude of applications, both military and civil. However, the requirement of operating parameters varies between the military and civil applications. Parameters like size, range, endurance, operating altitude, maximum take-off weight (MTOW) has implications both for the deployment and employment of UAVs. This paper explores the impact of the operating parameters on military and civil applications of Mini UAV.
