In this paper we present experience gathered in our work on UAV (Unmanned Autonomous, or Aerial Vehicles) design. UAVs are radio controlled flying vehicles, e.g. airplanes equipped with RF (Radio Frequency) communication systems, cameras and sensors (e.g. accelerometers, gyros, temperature and pressure sensors, a GPS (Global Positioning System) module etc.) enabling to be capable of autonomous flight. Currently UAVs are mostly used in the military area to safely watch areas of potential risk without endangering the lives of people otherwise needed to provide information on such areas. Lately UAVs have begun to make their way into civil applications as well. Possible uses include monitoring of forest fires, following fleeing suspects by the police, scanning of ground surface to create maps on a local level and so on, or simply for fun.
