The first edited volume addressing analysis for unmanned vehicles, with focus on operations research rather than engineering
- The editors have a unique combination of extensive operational experience and technical expertise
- Chapters address a wide-ranging set of examples, domains and applications
- Accessible to a general readership and also informative for experts
This is the first edited volume addressing analysis for unmanned vehicles and its focus is operations research ( how things should be used ), rather than engineering ( how things should be built ).
