Abstract Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), also denominated Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) by FAA (Federal Aviation Administration), have gained great attention for many applications in the scientific, civil, and military sectors. The aim of this book is to classify and choose a type of UAS and design an embedded sensors platform useful to assist the remote pilot during the landing procedure. The design and implementation of an electronic platform were performed by using a bouquet of low-cost sensors (ultrasonic, IR, Optics, etc.) for attitude control and obstacle-sense-and-avoid during the landing procedure at low altitude and low velocity.
