Civil Unmanned Aircraft Systems

Civil Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), commonly known as drones, are airborne technologies operated without onboard humans, used for various civilian purposes such as photography, agriculture, inspection, and delivery. They consist of an unmanned aircraft (aircraft), a control system, and sometimes additional sensors or equipment. Civil UAS are regulated by authorities to ensure safety and privacy. They differ from military drones by serving residential, commercial, and research needs. Advances in technology have expanded their capabilities, making them valuable tools across many industries while requiring responsible operation to minimize risks.
