unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft that operates without a human pilot on board. UAVs can be controlled remotely or fly autonomously using pre-programmed flight plans. They are used in various applications, including aerial photography, agriculture, and surveillance.
UAVs come in different sizes and designs, ranging from small consumer drones to large military aircraft. They are equipped with various technologies, such as cameras and sensors, to perform specific tasks. The use of UAVs has grown significantly due to advancements in technology and their ability to access hard-to-reach areas.
