To add confusion in the civy marine world UAV means "Underwater Autonomous Vehicle". I worked on a program back in the 1980's with the Canadian Military using RPV's "Remote Pilotless Vehicles" to test them for shooting artillery with. My WO worked with Canada's first army drone, which was rocket launched off a truck, flew a course based on mechanical time taking pictures also using a clock, and then crashlanded, with the pictures being developed in a Photograph truck with darkroom, That was the 1960's
Thank you for your reply. I saw some video once of mobile photo labs and the drum scanners used to digitize the images. Drum scanners of some kind have been around longer than most think.
That was before my time and likely cool tech we were not allowed to see. I was scanning contour lines on maps using an Amiga with a cross hairs mouse in the early 1990's. Digitizing maps was hard work back then.
Also, FPV is just a technology to transfer a video from one object to another. FPV is a first-person view. It is a little commercial multicopter or a fixed-wing plane or a wheeled vehicle or a boat. An operator controls a drone with radio commands and uses a screen on a receiver and a camera on a drone.
Probably NATO lost 48 UAVs during the 1999 attack on Yugoslavia because, 25 years ago, they underestimated the role UAVs would play in future conflicts.
