UAV shipboard landing has gained extensive attention, due to its potential to enhance operational efficiency in maritime applications, including surveillance, inspection, refueling, and sea rescue missions. However, the oscillatory ship motion caused by the sea wave interactions and wind gusts, especially in rough sea states, may lead to UAV trajectory deviations or even collisions, significantly escalating the challenge of shipboard landing. Consequently, the development of safe and reliable UAV shipboard landing techniques is of great importance and remains a critical research priority.
Public confidence in U.S. health and science agencies has dropped since the inauguration of President Donald Trump, according to a new survey by the Annenberg Public Policy Center. The survey also finds that most Americans lack confidence that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is providing the public with trustworthy information on matters of public health.
