Description
Summary:This paper presents an extensive collection of technical and operational challenges associated with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) operations in the Arctic. Some of the challenges are valid for Antarctic, severe, winter, and near-winter weather conditions. The collection of challenges was developed by analyses a great number of practical applications of UAVs. The tiny step towards the technological excellence making the Arctic operations of UAV approachable is also presented in the paper. That is a printed temperature sensor able to work at low temperatures up-to -40 C. The results of the sensor testing are given.
