UAS exam 1
What is the definition of an unmanned aircraft as defined by the FAA? - correct answer ✔✔A device used
or intended to be used for flight in the air that has no onboard pilot
Nikola Tesla - correct answer ✔✔1898: Entered a radio-controlled boat that could stop, go, turn right
and left.
Reginal Denny - correct answer ✔✔an actor and avid aeromodeller convinced the Army to buy his "R/C
drone" as a target
Elmer Sperry - correct answer ✔✔Sperry Aerial Torpedo project was started by the US Navy
- gyroscope keep plane balanced
-carried 300pound bomb
Langly - correct answer ✔✔-one of the first prototypes
-"Aerodrome"
What does ISR stand for? - correct answer ✔✔Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance
What does LOS stand for? - correct answer ✔✔line of sight
What does BLOS? - correct answer ✔✔beyond line of sight
describe the Kettering Bug - correct answer ✔✔-was tested as flying bomb - it flew in a given direction
for pre-set time.
-It was hoped that the "bomb" would fall on a ship
-1919: The unmanned Kettering Bug flew 75 miles from launch
, describe the Predator - correct answer ✔✔-first used as surveillance
-then was armed with two missles
describe the Reaper - correct answer ✔✔-high altitude, long endurance hunter-killer UAV
describe the Global Hawk - correct answer ✔✔surveillance only
UAS Component: ESC - correct answer ✔✔-Electronic Speed Control
-The flight controller sends a signal to the ESC to send the pulses faster or slower
-The faster the pulses, the more amperage the ESC draws to spin the motor faster
UAS Component: PDB - correct answer ✔✔Power Distribution Board
-Provides power to all the necessary components of a sUAS
- Regulates or unregulates power to the Flight Controller
UAS Component: Flt Controller - correct answer ✔✔- Often has an accelerometer, barometer and
gyrospcope
- Manipulates the 4 motors to achieve the desired orientation
UAS component: Brushless Motors - correct answer ✔✔-Uses Electromagnetic force to operate
-Recieves inputs from the ESCs to act as servos to control sUAS orientation
UAS Components: RX and TX - correct answer ✔✔-To control the quadcopter, there must be a way to
send an electronic signal from a controller to the quadcopter
(retriever and transmitter)
What is the fourth Amendment - correct answer ✔✔Affirms "the right of the people to be secure in their
persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated,
and Warrants shall issue, but upon probably cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly
