Military & Aerospace Electronics June 2005 John McHale	Unmanned Vehicles: A Tactical Advantage and a Rich Market The obvious advantage on the battlefield translates into greater demand for all types of unmanned vehicles creating an industry that some estimate will have a value of about $22 billion worldwide in 10 years-and that is just for UAVs, the most mature unmanned platform.
Military & Aerospace Electronics June 2005 Roger Joel	Unmanned Vehicles: Autonomous and on-Target Perhaps the single biggest challenge-both to truly autonomous unmanned vehicle designers and to the widespread military deployment of unmanned vehicles-is obstacle recognition and avoidance.
Military & Aerospace Electronics June 2005 Ben Ames	Smaller Sensors Make Unmanned Vehicles Smarter Army researchers are now developing another part of FCS-an armed robotic vehicle (ARV) that uses autonomous sensors and weapons to minimize soldiers' battlefield exposure.
Military & Aerospace Electronics June 2005 Ben Ames	Sailors Map the Battlespace with Unmanned Underwater Vehicles Useful for oceanography and oil surveying as well as military exercises, the vehicles range from diameters of 21 inches down to 12 and nine inches. In the future, sailors and scientists will collect data even faster and cheaper by operating several AUVs from a single vessel.
Military & Aerospace Electronics June 2005 John McHale	Micro UAVs to Make Substantial Impact Over Next Few Years In the long run The U.S. military would be wise to keep away from a one-size-fits-all procurement strategy for UAVs, analysts say. They would be better served by having multiple vendors producing different aircraft.
Military & Aerospace Electronics June 2005	Unmanned Combat Plane Will Use LaBarge Data Network Boeing officials have awarded LaBarge Inc. a contract to provide engineering support and manufacturing services for its Joint Unmanned Combat Air System (J-UCAS) X-45C. The contract is expected to exceed $1 million.
Military & Aerospace Electronics June 2005	GoldenEye UAV Makes First Autonomous Transition Flights GoldenEye-50, which Aurora announced in 2003 and first flew in July 2004, exhibits helicopter-like hover and vertical takeoff and landing performance as well as fuel-efficient, wing-borne flight similar to a conventional airplane.
Military & Aerospace Electronics June 2005	Lockheed Martin Teams with Aerosonde for UAV Systems The defense powerhouses have announced the establishment of a multinational strategic alliance to provide Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) solutions for domestic and international markets.
Military & Aerospace Electronics June 2005	Steadicopter Builds Autonomous UAV By combining a patented computer program and Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) with an existing minicopter, an Israeli company has developed an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that could be the next homeland-security defense tool.
Military & Aerospace Electronics June 2005	Sensors: Electro-Pneumatic Servo Valve K.I.M. Aerotech in Camarillo, Calif., is introducing the Model 81145 servo valve that has no leakage losses at a low absolute pressure due to internal bleeds.
