Remotely Piloted Aircraft

A Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA), commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft controlled remotely by a human operator rather than flying autonomously. Equipped with various sensors, cameras, and navigation systems, RPAs can perform tasks such as surveillance, reconnaissance, mapping, or delivery without a person onboard. They range from small consumer models to large military or industrial systems. Operating these aircraft involves remote communication links, ensuring the pilot can maneuver and monitor the drone’s activities from a safe distance. RPAs are widely used across industries due to their ability to access hard-to-reach areas efficiently.
