The unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) design mission is to perform critical flight operations without risk to personnel and more cost effectivelythan comparable manned system. This chapter covers definitions, the design process, UAV classifications, current UAVs, and some design challenges. It introduces conceptual design, preliminary design, and detailed design of a UAV based on systems engineering approach. The chapter discusses the design parameters, constraints, objectives functions, criteria and UAV configuration classifications. UAVs are considered as a great force multiplier within military use, as they offer many advantages. In terms of wing, there are two groups of UAVs: fixed‐wing; and rotary wing. The chapter explores success stories for some UAV design projects, as well as some lessons from crashes and cancellations of a few discontinued projects. It presents features of the ground control stations of these UAVs. The chapter explains the current unmanned aerial system design techniques and also presents design groups based on expertise.
