GOLUB – Small UAV Operation in Atmospheric Icing Conditions’ Participating countries: Italy, Ukraine UAVs are a disruptive technology reshaping civil and military capabilities and operations. To perform their tasks, UAVs need to be able to operate in remote areas and in all weather conditions. Operation in extreme envi - ronments exposes UAVs to atmospheric icing, which is particularly severe for small UAVs due to low altitude of operation, their light weight and the peculiarity of icing physics. Politecnico di Milano in cooperation with Oles Honchar Dnipro National University aim to address these challenges by as - sessing the performance degradation caused by atmospheric icing on UAVs aerodynamics and on their propulsion system. The results will be leveraged in the development of an icing severity index, which could be applied to mission planning in icing environments.
