Unmanned Vehicle Systems can perform a whole range of tasks and applications, often only limited by the imagination. Not only can they perform the dull, dirty and dangerous tasks which people should avoid, but they can undertake new types of mission which were previously though to be unfeasible.
This initial list of applications is the CCUVS starting point for building an ever growing list of applications where UVS can deliver business or other benefit. We plan to include some descriptions and links to case studies in due course. Please email any suggestions to ccuvsoffice@ccuvs.com.
