Abstract
The technology behind unmanned systems has developed over recent years, and this development has increased the potential for impact across a number of different tasks. One set of tasks, such as reconnaissance/surveillance and search/rescue, have a strong identification component and is the primary focus of this chapter. In addition to simply recognizing an observed object, this chapter acknowledges that there are additional factors associated with the operation of unmanned systems that increases the difficulty associated with this task.
