Flexible autonomy in low altitude UAVs

无人驾驶飞行器（uav）作为一种缓解、预防和及时应对紧急情况的有效工具，在公共和私营部门都受到了极大的关注。然而，对于非军事应用，无人机并不像这些系统的潜力那样容易被采用。这在一定程度上是由于监管和许可的问题，但在很大程度上也是由于在实际操作无人机在一个安全有效的方式没有人力资源方面的重大投资在培训方面的困难，特别是实际飞行。为了使无人机成为用于改善加拿大安全和保障的主流工具的一部分；在这些系统的控制和自动操作方面有必要取得进展。

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been drawing a great deal of attention within both the public and private sectors as an effective tool for mitigation, prevention, and timely response to emergency situations. However, for non-military applications, UAVs have not been as easily adopted as the potential of these systems suggests. This is in part due to issues of regulation and licensing but it is also due in significant part to the difficulties in actually operating UAVs in a safe and effective manner without significant investment in human resources in terms of training and especially for the actual flying. In order for UAVs to become part of the mainstream set of tools used to improve Canadian safety and security; advances are necessary in the control and automatic operation of these systems.
