Like it or not, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are a growing feature in  skies around the world, and ­avionics scientists and engineers are busy  designing systems and planning for how they will interact with manned  aircraft and eventually diminish the need for pilots in cockpits. For  the latest thinking on the subject of UAVs, see the ebook from Rockwell  Collins, the second in a series, called “Awareness: the most critical  step to facilitate the convergence of manned and unmanned aviation.” The  ebook is available for free download in Adobe PDF format from www.rockwellcollins.com. In addition to the latest information on current UAV technology, the ebook covers UAV activity in  airspace at some of the world’s ­busiest airports, according to Rockwell  Collins, and an animation that demonstrates “sense-and-avoid technology  from the vantage point of the UAV.”
