Reviews

Each author is an expert in UASs. Lead author, Ron Bartsch, has worked in the aviation industry for more than 30 years and is a former director of the Australian Association of Unmanned Systems. This is reflected in the fascinating detail they provide about the technology's development and its end-use applications...A well written book, it provides an accurate account of the good, bad and ugly uses for UASs. Jon Lorimer, IOSH Magazine
