RPA (Remotely Piloted Aircraft)
Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA), commonly known as drones, are aircraft operated from a distance by a human pilot using remote controls and onboard cameras and sensors. They can vary in size from small quadcopters to large military aircraft. RPAs are used for various purposes such as aerial photography, surveillance, delivery, and scientific research. They provide a safe and efficient way to perform tasks in areas that may be dangerous, inaccessible, or costly for manned aircraft. Advances in technology have enhanced their autonomy and capabilities while maintaining human oversight, making them valuable tools across many industries.
