Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles  

Definition

  • An aircraft (also known as a drone) without any human pilot, crew, or passengers on board. UAVs are a component of an uncrewed aircraft system (UAS), which includes adding a ground-based controller and a system of communications with the UAV. The flight of UAVs may operate under remote control by a human operator, as remotely-piloted aircraft (RPA), or with various degrees of autonomy, such as autopilot assistance, up to fully autonomous aircraft that have no provision for human intervention.
