Remote Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS)

Remote Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), commonly known as drones, are aircraft operated remotely by a human pilot using a ground control station or onboard software. They can vary in size, from small quadcopters to larger aircraft, and are used for tasks like aerial photography, surveying, surveillance, and delivery. RPAS include the aircraft itself, control systems, and communication links that enable real-time operation and data transmission. They offer a versatile, efficient, and often safer way to perform activities that would be difficult or risky for humans to do manually in various industries.
