Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle
An Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV) is a type of drone designed specifically for military operations. Unlike traditional aircraft, UCAVs are operated remotely or autonomously, allowing them to carry out missions without a pilot on board. They are equipped with advanced technology for surveillance, reconnaissance, and precision strikes, making them valuable assets in modern warfare.
UCAVs can be used for various tasks, including targeting enemy positions and gathering intelligence. Their ability to operate in dangerous environments reduces the risk to human pilots. Examples of UCAVs include the MQ-9 Reaper and the X-47B, which showcase the evolving capabilities of unmanned aerial systems.
