(Coutu, 2020). This is particularly the case with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). These vehicles have grown in popularity and accessible to everyone. Of different shapes and sizes, they are widely available for purchase at relatively low prices. They have moved from the backyard recreation status to important tools for the military, intelligence agencies, and corporate organizations. New practical applications such as military equipment and weaponry are announced on a regular basis – globally. (Coutu, 2020). Every country seems to be announcing steps forward in this bludgeoning field.16172024-03-14T04:37:00Z2024-03-18T16:57:08ZCyber-Human Systems, Space Technologies, and Threats<img alt="Read more about Cyber-Human Systems, Space Technologies, and Threats" title="Cyber-Human Systems, Space Technologies, and Threats cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="438" data-controller="cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTEzMTIsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--152e94dc971a7dc0d1458003ee5c08ab708fd6e7/Book_8_Cover_JIC-18-authors-07252023-350x438.jpg" />CYBER-HUMAN SYSTEMS, SPACE TECHNOLOGIES, AND THREATS is our eighth textbook in a series covering the world of UASs / CUAS / UUVs / SPACE.

SSETO takes on a new purview of SPACE. UASs (Drones) have a maximum altitude of about 33,000 ft (10 km) because rotating rotors become physically limiting. (Nichols R. et al., 2019) Between 400 ft and 33,000 ft is in the purview of DREAMERS. In the DREAMERS region, Space has its most interesting technological emergence. We see emerging technologies and operations that may have profound effects on humanity. This is the mission our book addresses. We look at the Dreamer region from three perspectives: 1) a Military view where intelligence, jamming, spoofing, advanced materials, and hypersonics are in play; 2) the Operational Dreamer Region; which includes Space-based platform vulnerabilities, trash, disaster recovery management, A.I., manufacturing, and extended reality; and 3) the Humanitarian Use of Space technologies; which includes precision agriculture wildlife tracking, fire risk zone identification, and improving the global food supply and cattle management. State-of-the-Art research by a team of fifteen SMEs is incorporated into our book. We trust you will enjoy reading it as much as we have in its writing. There is hope for the future.16152024-03-14T04:09:48Z2024-03-18T16:57:08ZUnmanned Vehicle Systems & Operations on Air, Sea, Land<img alt="Read more about Unmanned Vehicle Systems & Operations on Air, Sea, Land" title="Unmanned Vehicle Systems & Operations on Air, Sea, Land cover image" class="cover " width="413" height="532" data-controller="cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTEzMDYsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--53e97223af375762346152ee828843edf489c48a/unman.jpg" />This is our fourth textbook in a series previously covering the world of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and Counter Unmanned Aircraft Systems (CUAS).

It also documents weather theory and its application to aviation. The objective of this handbook is to help the pilot and operator understand the basics of weather, aviation weather hazards, and aviation weather products. The information included is not prescriptive. Furthermore, the guidance and recommendations in this handbook are not legally binding in their own right and will not be relied upon by the FAA as a separate basis for affirmative enforcement action or other administrative penalty. Conformity with the guidance and recommendations is voluntary only and nonconformity will not affect rights and obligations under existing statutes and regulations. The handbook is a consolidated source of weather information and, in some cases, best practices to assist with providing safety for flight. The visualization of the products discussed in this handbook has evolved over the past decade with the use of internet websites. The use of static black and white depictions of aviation forecasts is quickly becoming a thing of the past. Today’s websites provide the products in color and offer options to select and overlay multiple pieces of weather information.13282023-02-02T17:26:41Z2023-10-25T04:42:38ZPilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge<img alt="Read more about Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge" title="Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge cover image" class="cover " width="667" height="873" data-controller="cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6OTI1OSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--44d98fa7ec51c08ab48857bcd55ef711d4d3a800/Screenshot%202023-08-06%20at%2010.25.05%20PM.png" />The Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge (PHAK) is an essential book for any Remote, Sport, Recreational, Private, Commercial, and Instructor Pilot.

This text is designed for a course in Aircraft Performance that is taught before the students have had any course in fluid mechanics, fluid dynamics, or aerodynamics. The text is meant to provide the essential information from these types of courses that is needed for teaching basic subsonic aircraft performance, and it is assumed that the students will learn the full story of aerodynamics in other, later courses. The text assumes that the students will have had a university level Physics sequence in which they will have been introduced to the most fundamental concepts of statics, dynamics, fluid mechanics, and basic conservation laws that are needed to understand the coverage that follows. It is also assumed that students will have completed first year university level calculus sequence plus a course in multi-variable calculus. Separate courses in engineering statics and dynamics are helpful but not necessary. Any student who takes a course using this text after completing courses in aerodynamics or fluid dynamics should find the chapters of this book covering those subjects an interesting review of the material. The 236-page text was created specifically for use by undergraduate students in Aerospace Engineering and was based on Professor Marchman’s many years of experience teaching related subject matter as well as his numerous wind tunnel research projects related to aircraft aerodynamics and his personal experience as the owner and pilot of a general aviation airplane. It has been used at Virginia Tech and other universities. Instructors reviewing, adopting, or adapting parts or the whole of the text are requested to register their interest at: https://bit.ly/aerodynamics_interest.10012021-05-21T20:09:30Z2024-01-22T14:52:25ZFundamentals of Aerospace Engineering<img alt="Read more about Fundamentals of Aerospace Engineering" title="Fundamentals of Aerospace Engineering cover image" class="cover " width="205" height="300" data-controller="cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MjM2MCwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--1b8fbaade233f58163f931124e6169b6afd813b3/1_page-205x300.png" />Fundamentals of Aerospace Engineering covers an undergraduate, introductory course to aeronautical engineering and aims at combining theory and practice to provide a comprehensive, thorough introduction to the fascinating, yet complex discipline of aerospace engineering.
