Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) (or uncrewed aerial vehicle,commonly known as a drone) is an aircraft without a human pilot on board and a type of unmanned vehicle. UAVs are a component of an unmanned aircraft system (UAS); which include a UAV, a ground-based controller, and a system of communications between the two. The flight of UAVs may operate with various degrees of autonomy either under remote control by a human operator or autonomously by onboard computers.
