A UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot onboard. These devices can either be controlled remotely by a pilot or fly autonomously through pre-programmed flight plans or dynamic automation systems.
UAVs have a wide range of applications across various industries. They are commonly used for aerial surveillance, monitoring, aerial photography, agriculture, search and rescue operations, wildlife tracking, and even in the military for reconnaissance and combat missions.
There are several types of UAVs based on their size, range, and capabilities. These include multi-rotor drones, fixed-wing drones, and hybrid drones. Each type is designed for specific tasks and has its unique advantages and limitations.
Due to the increasing popularity of UAVs, many countries have implemented regulations to govern their operation. It is essential for drone operators to be aware of these regulations to ensure safe and legal operation of their UAVs.
