UAV Autonomy addresses perhaps the most challenging and important topic that is central to unmanned aircraft performance, autonomy. Autonomous flight is a major target goal of all technologists. The ability of a UAV to take off, execute a mission, and return to its base without significant human intervention (this is the human-on-the-loop concept rather than the human-in-the-loop current requirement) promises to enhance UAV deployment in many application domains. Contributions in this part of the handbook address levels of autonomy and those specific technical challenges that must be overcome if one aims at approaching eventually “full UAV autonomy.” Hardware and software requirements for increased autonomy are discussed with emphasis on algorithms that will bestow to the UAV features of autonomy.
