UAV Operations from Moving Maritime Platforms: Challenges and Opportunities
UAV Operations from Moving Maritime Platforms: Challenges and Opportunities

Summary/Abstract: The deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) from moving platforms at sea presents unique challenges and opportunities for maritime applications. This exploration highlights the technical, operational, and environmental considerations of UAV operations in marine settings. Advanced control systems, including visual-aided systems and neural networks, are essential for stability during takeoff and landing. UAV design must adapt to dynamic marine conditions such as wind and waves. Operational strategies should align with specific missions, like search and rescue, and integrating UAVs with unmanned surface vehicles can enhance effectiveness. Challenges like adverse weather, sea state changes, and obstacles affect UAV operations. Future research should focus on overcoming marine challenges to maximize UAV potential in maritime applications
