sUAS (Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems)

Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) are compact, remotely operated or autonomous drones equipped with sensors and cameras. They are used for various purposes such as photography, surveying, inspection, agriculture, and delivery. Typically, they weigh less than 55 pounds and operate within visual line-of-sight or controlled airspace. sUAS offer efficient, cost-effective solutions for tasks that are difficult, dangerous, or time-consuming for humans to perform manually. Their accessibility and versatility have made them valuable tools across industries, while regulators focus on ensuring safe operation and privacy protection.
