b. Size.
(1) Mini. These were developed from a radio control model aircraft, presently being used for surveillance. These were used by the Israelis during Bekka Valley operation.
(2) Midi. These RPVs are capable of carrying out reconnaissance at high subsonic speeds using high-resolution imagery technology while still being able to transmit their information in real time in an EW environment. Such systems are broadly similar in concept to the drones used by the Americans for operations in Vietnam. Inevitably they tend to be rather large in size and are more vulnerable to ground fire.
(3) Maxi. This catagory involves development of long endurance systems to fill the surveillance gaps of satellites. Space based surveillance is very costly and tends to be fairly predictable. Whereas it is possible to minimise the effect of satellites or even avoid this altogether, the long endurance RPVs flying high and remaining aloft for considerable long periods of time offer a very satisfactory sol to the problem.
Developments in the Field of UAVs.
11. UAVs have established for themselves a place in the modern military forces and their use and availability are likely to greatly increase. As poor man's satellite, UAV technology is being widely employed to provide commanders with real/near real time reconnaissance and surveillance information, electronic combat support and battle damage assessment, all at little or no risk to friendly forces. Technology is now advancing at such a pace as to allow UAVs to function in other air power roles such as electronic combat, strike and air defence in either a totally autonomous mode or as remotely directed from either airborne or surface stations. In future UAVs will be a more potent platform available to the field commanders; some of the latest trends in this sphere are highlighted in the succeeding paragraphs:-.
a. MALE & HALE UAVs. A new trend is the Medium Altitude Long Endurance and High Altitude Long Endurance strategic UAVs.

Not only will the drones decrease the lives lost in military aircrafts and ground control, but will also allow the pilot of the UAV ( unmanned aerial vehicle) be close to home and keep his or her family worry free. ... Drone warfare takes the pilots out of harms way and puts a UAV or unmanned aerial vehicle in the sky to be shot down instead (Weapons, Gear, and Uniforms). Taking a pilot to control the UAV or also known as SWORDS (Special Weapons Observation Reconnaissance Detection Systems) from as far as away as possible is only ideal (History of Weapons).If you could protect and defend your ...
These top producers needed to follow the trend. ... They needed the latest thing. They looked into and followed the trend, feeding it with production of their own devices. ... The concept of technological trends in society is an appealing one to huge companies that have the potential to add to these trends. ... Therefore, technological trends are the foundation of advanced technology because without a trend, there would be nothing to follow, nothing to build upon, or nothing to compete with. ...
Global Labor Union Climate Labor union trends play in important role in the development of the global economy. ... The World Bank Study follows these trends and publishes reports, white papers, and statistics that are used to evaluate the state of the global union trends and finances. ... In one of the latest studies published by the World Bank Study, in February of 2003, draws a correlation between labor issues, unionization, and economy performance. The trend follows the consistent growth of the unionized labor market. ... (Hay, 2003) The correlation between the trends in global labor unio...
Texting has become the latest trend not only in communication but as well as in fashion, but behind this is the truth that it has also greatly influenced and ruined the proper use of grammar, weakened the sociability skills and damaged relationships of people. ...
