This article, however, describes the development of micro aerial vehicles (MAVs), a category of aircraft about the size of small birds. As the smallest, powered aircraft, MAVs can carry various sensors as payload to support a variety of civil and military applications. icro aerial vehicle (MAV) tive sensors, could locate chemical weapons. describes a category of aircraft On the civil side, most requests for scientific MAV with dimensions roughly applications currently come from meteorologists M comparable to small birds. As the seeking to measure temperature, humidity, and, most smallest, powered aircraft, MAVs can carry various importantly, the speed and direction of wind. The sensors as payload to support such civil and weather researchers want a cost-effective, mobile, military missions as traffic monitoring, weather and reusable measurement platform that can replace observation, and enemy surveillance during non-returning radiosonde balloons whose onboard military conflicts. By next year, for instance, equipment is lost after a mission.
