UAV's (unmanned aerial vehicles) represent the fastest growing and the most dynamic growth segment within the aerospace industry. Global UAV funding is expected to witness exponential growth in the near future, primarily driven by the rapid technological advances, particularly in the information technology industry.

UAV's are known for their proven performance in areas such as surveillance, intelligence, and reconnaissance and have become a key element in today's military warfare.

This, however, provides only a partial indication of future uses and applications of unmanned aircraft. Research, development, testing and evaluation aimed at developing a new generation UAV's for commercial and law enforcment uses are transforming the Aerospace industry worldwide.
