“…The traditional technologies cannot handle heterogeneous data types generated by the sensors and other new technology like big data, which are being used in the sophisticated onboard computer that computes the computing applications and involve artificial Intelligence for target identification, detection, and recognition of the tasks. It creates a new industry, especially for commercial UAV applications [11].…”

Unmanned Aerial vehicles (UAVs) can transmit critical Intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance data right from drones when operators need real-time access to information and find it hard to wait for the return of aircraft. Artificial satellites are applied in offering communication links between different points on earth. Satellite communication can be helpful in telecommunication systems globally. SATCOM is the data and voice service that allows aircraft to communicate using satellite using air traffic control and airline operations centres at high-frequency stations and when covering the conventional ground radar. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Satcom are applied in different aspects of real-life applications like traffic monitoring, play load delivery, surveillance, and seemingly dangerous areas. They can go where one cannot go and experience experiences that were never seen before. UAV Satcom is used when transmitting the ISR, the Intelligence and reconnaissance data right from drones, especially in situations in which the decision-makers need near real-time. All current signs show the exciting and bright future for using unmanned aerial vehicle Satcom technology. The future generations are projected to feature enhanced autonomy and improve safety standards. SATCOM can be the future waiver for UAVs. SATCOM is being used increasingly in surveys in the aftermath of any disaster. This paper examines how SATCOM can be the future waiver for UAVs and also presents the application of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles SATCOM.

“…Their main advantage is their ability to perform their task in areas where a manned mission would be difficult or impossible. Researchers and engineers soon noted these properties and started to use unmanned vehicles as mobile platforms for research equipment [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. As a result, it enabled research in new locations and with unprecedented frequency.…”

The main factors influencing the shape of the beach, shoreline and seabed include undulation, wind and coastal currents. These phenomena cause continuous and multidimensional changes in the shape of the seabed and the Earth’s surface, and when they occur in an area of intense human activity, they should be constantly monitored. In 2018 and 2019, several measurement campaigns took place in the littoral zone in Sopot, related to the intensive uplift of the seabed and beach caused by the tombolo phenomenon. In this research, a unique combination of bathymetric data obtained from an unmanned surface vessel, photogrammetric data obtained from unmanned aerial vehicles and ground laser scanning were used, along with geodetic data from precision measurements with receivers of global satellite navigation systems. This paper comprehensively presents photogrammetric measurements made from unmanned aerial vehicles during these campaigns. It describes in detail the problems in reconstruction within the water areas, analyses the accuracy of various photogrammetric measurement techniques, proposes a statistical method of data filtration and presents the changes that occurred within the studies area. The work ends with an interpretation of the causes of changes in the land part of the littoral zone and a summary of the obtained results.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have now become very popular in photogrammetric and remote-sensing applications. Every day, these vehicles are used in new applications, new terrains, and new tasks, facing new problems. One of these problems is connected with flight altitude and the determined ground sample distance in a specific area, especially within cities and industrial and construction areas. The problem is that a safe flight altitude and camera parameters do not meet the required or demanded ground sampling distance or the geometrical and texture quality. In the cases where the flight level cannot be reduced and there is no technical ability to change the UAV camera or lens, the author proposes the use of a super-resolution algorithm for enhancing images acquired by UAVs and, consequently, increase the geometrical and interpretation quality of the final photogrammetric product. The main study objective was to utilize super-resolution (SR) algorithms to improve the geometric and interpretative quality of the final photogrammetric product, assess its impact on the accuracy of the photogrammetric processing and on the traditional digital photogrammetry workflow. The research concept assumes a comparative analysis of photogrammetric products obtained on the basis of data collected from small, commercial UAVs and products obtained from the same data but additionally processed by the super-resolution algorithm. As the study concludes, the photogrammetric products that are created as a result of the algorithms’ operation on high-altitude images show a comparable quality to the reference products from low altitudes and, in some cases, even improve their quality.
