An assessment of weather impacts on domestic MALE UAV operations [electronic resource] / by Michael Laska. [Ottawa] : Defence Research and Development Canada, c2007. xxii, 138 p. : figures, tables. Technical report ; 2007-22 "December 2007." Includes bibliographical references. This report documents a high-level statistical investigation of the frequency and persistence characteristics of historical cloud cover and weather observations recorded in five operating areas of interest (AOIs) located in Canada. In this study, frequency characteristics are used to provide a quantitative measure of the relative occurrences of specific weather events considered limiting to medium altitude long endurance (MALE) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) takeoff, recovery and flight operations, as well as those weather events considered to adversely affect electro-optic and infrared (EO/IR) sensor image quality or interpretability. gccst Technical reports gccst Weather Weather effects Defence R&D Canada.
