Fault diagnosis system for an unmanned aerial vehicle

Technological development has led to the birth of aircraft with remarkable capabilities capable of autonomously managing flight. This category, known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), are vehicles that fly unmanned, which brings the advantages of a drastic reduction in operating costs compared to conventional aircraft with a pilot, the ability to operate in environments unsuitable for human presence, and to be used in a timely manner for overhead detection, for example, of natural disasters. Initially used exclusively in the military field – in dull missions (monotonous and long-lasting surveillance and reconnaissance), dirty missions (dangerous for the safety of pilots), and dangerous missions (risky for the lives of pilots) – today they represent the future of modern aeronautics. The enormous potential, the successes in military missions, and the progress made in the field of micro- and nano-technologies are pushing...
