Return to main article: "Drones to the Rescue!"

Navigating safely is always necessary, and unmanned platforms especially need to do so, as they still must demonstrate to the general and technical public that flying without a pilot on board works and is safe (or as safe as piloted crafts). So, when asking ourselves what is the right approach to safe navigation in UAVs, one word steps immediately into the discussion: redundancy.

Following a route defined by application requirements and remotely sensing the environment in order to analyze and interpret the outcome on- and off-line: this is the axioma of every aerial remote-sensing mission and, indeed, also for search missions. Yet, the specific requirements for navigation might vary according to the application.
