“…Compared to fixed-wing drones, rotary-wings drones weigh less, have more maneuverability, and can stay stationary over a given area. In contrast, fixed-wings drones fly faster, are able to carry more payload, and are more energy-efficient than the rotary-wing drones but need to move forward to remain airborne [ 5 ].…”

“…HAPs operate at an altitude above 17 km and stay for a long time at that altitude, like aircraft and balloons. On the other hand, LAPs operate at altitudes of tens of meters to a few kilometers and their endurance, size, and weight are less than HAPs, which can offer the advantage of high operating performance, reliability, and low CapEx [ 5 ], such as fixed-wing and rotary-wing drones. LAP drones are becoming increasingly used in a wide variety of cases, such as package delivery [ 6 ], surveillance [ 7 ], remote sensing [ 8 ], providing wireless communications [ 9 ], and precision agriculture [ 10 ].…”

Currently, smart farming is considered an effective solution to enhance the productivity of farms; thereby, it has recently received broad interest from service providers to offer a wide range of applications, from pest identification to asset monitoring. Although the emergence of digital technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and low-power wide-area networks (LPWANs), has led to significant advances in the smart farming industry, farming operations still need more efficient solutions. On the other hand, the utilization of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, is growing rapidly across many civil application domains. This paper aims to develop a farm monitoring system that incorporates UAV, LPWAN, and IoT technologies to transform the current farm management approach and aid farmers in obtaining actionable data from their farm operations. In this regard, an IoT-based water quality monitoring system was developed because water is an essential aspect in livestock development. Then, based on the Long-Range Wide-Area Network (LoRaWAN®) technology, a multi-channel LoRaWAN® gateway was developed and integrated into a vertical takeoff and landing drone to convey collected data from the sensors to the cloud for further analysis. In addition, to develop LoRaWAN®-based aerial communication, a series of measurements and simulations were performed under different configurations and scenarios. Finally, to enhance the efficiency of aerial-based data collection, the UAV path planning was optimized. Measurement results showed that the maximum achievable LoRa coverage when operating on-air via the drone is about 10 km, and the Longley–Rice irregular terrain model provides the most suitable path loss model for the scenario of large-scale farms, and a multi-channel gateway with a spreading factor of 12 provides the most reliable communication link at a high drone speed (up to 95 km/h). Simulation results showed that the developed system can overcome the coverage limitation of LoRaWAN® and it can establish a reliable communication link over large-scale wireless sensor networks. In addition, it was shown that by optimizing flight paths, aerial data collection could be performed in a much shorter time than industrial mission planning (up to four times in our case).

<p>Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) is a booming technology with a future perspective and does have a huge S potential to transfigure warfare and enable up to date civilian applications. It furthermore matures in a technological way as to be impinged into the civil society. In 2010, the importance of scientific applications in the respective field was demonstrated by DOD in the contemporary years. In recent years, UAS has played an integral role in a number of missions that are public like law enforcement which is local, board surveillance, weather monitoring, wildlife surveys, military training. UAS do force some challenges which are numbered as lacking a pilot which is on-board in order to see and hence avoiding supplemental aircrafts and furthermore, the extensive discrepancy in the missions related to UAS and in order to implement the operations in NextGen time frame impinged in NAS, the capabilities of the respective topic must be communicated. The applications of UAS are numbered as Ariel Mapping and Meteorology, intelligence, remote sensing, surveillance and reconnaissance, environmental monitoring and agriculture, border security, security applications and law enforcement, counter insurgency, electronic attacks, attack strike, communication relay, target identification and designation. Via this survey paper, it can be concluded that UAS is emerging as a valuable and helpful technology having tremendous potential for revolting warfare and enabling new applications w.r.t the UAS field.<strong></strong></p>

Due to their versatility, which is a result of technological advancements, and their capacity to carry out various civilian tasks safely and effectively, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have revolutionized applied sciences and engineering. However, UAV technological advancements in applied sciences and engineering have not been fully leveraged. This paper highlights UAV technology in the realm of applied sciences and engineering. The review covers the historical advancement, classification, benefits, and drawbacks of UAV technology applied to science and engineering. The paper begins with a summary of the advancements, then moves on to a recent historical development and an explanation of the UAV categorization criteria. The review then discusses UAV technology's advantages and drawbacks in applied science and engineering. After WWII, UAVs became increasingly versatile and advanced. Their categories follow numerous criteria. UAVs have numerous applications in applied science and engineering. Regulations stimulate UAV innovation and applications while altering them. The paper concludes by offering a comprehensive overview of UAV technology and its uses in applied sciences and engineering. Future UAV applications are likely to be much more creative and significant as the technology develops and advances.
