Abstract

The new military revolution in the new era is spurring the development of combat means and combat forces to unmanned, intelligent, and clustered direction and gradually forming new methods of warfare and winning mechanisms. Unmanned combat platforms represented by unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), unmanned combat vehicle, unmanned surface vessel, and unmanned underwater vehicle have gradually become new research areas in which various military powers are committing to. Among the various unmanned combat platforms, UAVs achieve the fastest development and have the most operational applications. This paper gives a brief overview of UAVs and their applications and focuses on the advantages and problems of UAV and UAV cluster.
