What is UAV?

A UAV, or Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot onboard. Its flight is controlled either autonomously by onboard computers or by the remote control of a pilot on the ground or in another vehicle. UAVs are used in various applications, including aerial photography, surveillance, agriculture, delivery services, search and rescue, and military operations.
