Summary:

Drones have received much attention in the press and the topic can stir up many debates about privacy, safety, and asymmetric warfare. Also referred to as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) or Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) or Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), they are not really unmanned, but instead, operated by many humans who serve as pilots, sensor operators, maintainers, and mission planners. There has been a tendency to forget about these humans, as the focus has too often been on the technology and not the human components of the system. Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems: A Human Systems Integration Perspective highlights the human components of these systems, their interactions with the technology and each other, and the implications of human capabilities and limitations for the larger system. The Human Systems Integration (HSI) perspective considers humans as part of a large and interconnected system of technology, humans, and other systems. Each chapter focuses on a critical set of HSI issues and has been written by leading experts in the area. Key features: The book considers human factors issues associated with RPAS, but within the contest of a very large system of people, other vehicles, policy, safety concerns, and varying applications; Chapters have been contributed by world class experts in HSI and those with operational RPAS experience; It considers unintended consequences associated with taking a more myopic view of this system; Examines implications for practice, policy, and research; Considers both civil and military aspects of RPAS. Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems: A Human Systems Integration Perspective is a comprehensive guide for researchers, engineers, consultants, regulators, policy makers, etc., and is a useful reference for undergraduate and graduate students, researchers and practitioners in aerospace and human systems engineering, and anyone else involved in the rapidly changing world of these systems and their place in society.
