Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS)

Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) are compact, drone-like vehicles, typically weighing less than 55 pounds, operated remotely or autonomously. They often consist of a drone (aircraft), a control system, and sometimes additional equipment such as cameras or sensors. sUAS are used across various industries for tasks like aerial photography, surveillance, inspection, and data collection. Their small size allows access to tight or hard-to-reach areas, making them versatile tools for both commercial and recreational purposes, all while adhering to safety and regulatory standards to ensure safe operation in shared airspace.
