unmanned aerial systems
Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), commonly known as drones, consist of an aircraft (the drone), a control system, and communication links. They can be remotely piloted or operate autonomously using onboard sensors and software. UAS are used in various fields like photography, agriculture, surveillance, and delivery services. They provide a flexible, efficient means to capture data or perform tasks from the air without risking human pilots. Advances in technology have made them more reliable, capable, and accessible, transforming how industries approach monitoring, data collection, and operational efficiency.
