Major(s) of all individuals presenting this work Bio of all individuals presenting this work I am a Junior currently taking dual-enrollment classes through the Collegiate School at FSU PC. I am working towards acquiring an AA degree after graduating high school, then obtaining a master's degree in aerospace engineering. During my journey towards getting a master's degree, I will enroll in a ROTC program at the future college I will attend and apply into the United States Air Force. Poster Title Abstract With the rise of technological advancements into military equipment, UAVs have been pushed to perform dangerous missions to protect the nations that utilize them. Questions on UAVs include how much is the United States military funding to advancements in the UAV industry, is using UAVs truly beneficial to the protection of United States citizens, and are UAVs capable of completing tasks that human fighter pilots are already capable of? UAVs are occasionally seen as ineffective or inferior to fighter pilots from previous system failures that have occurred during tests for the UAVs reconnaissance or combat efficiency. To provide assurance of the true potential of UAVs, research has been conducted in the form of a Literature Review to provide a series of tests that show how innovative UAVs can truly be. The articles that have been chosen from an array of Aerospace Engineering related databases involving positive and negative facts about utilizing UAVs. This paper will reveal the important answers to topics like how the usage of simulation to create designs allows engineers to form cost efficient means of manufacturing UAVs, how reconnaissance through the usage of improved encryption systems has provided a seamless method of safely transporting information regardless of the UAV’s position, and that UAVs capable of efficient usage with the help of protection from cyberattacks. It is important that the United States continue to dominate the world with their military presence to discourage other countries from attempting drastic military campaigns.
