Abstract

With technology advancing by leaps and bounds by the year, the uses of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles are becoming more apparent. The possibilities for an aerial vehicle that is fully autonomous are endless. Such aerial vehicles could divert manpower to humanitarian efforts, airlift, and other non‐attack operations. Leaders can put their focus elsewhere on the battlefield with the knowledge that the skies over their heads will be well guarded. These desires give life to projects such as this. No advancement in civilization has ever been made without the collective revolutionary research of great minds, trial by fire, and daring to dream.
