Abstract

This paper emphasizes the energy efficiency issue for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The power requirement for an UAV system was modeled with the aid of energy requiring from all possible sub-systems. In this model, a single UAV system was broken down by the six power consumption components. The scientific research areas and emerging technologies assisted UAV design stages involved in the mainly "six-part" load components; those are (1) Control, (2) Data processing, (3) Communication, (4) Payloads, including sensors with actuators, (5) External Loads as system perturbation, and (6) System Dynamicity with a performance criteria.
