An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), also known as drones, is a type of aircraft without the onboard presence of pilots. The UAV can be semi-autonomous, fully autonomous, but is more often controlled by a human with the help of remote. It consists of various aircraft components such as sensors payloads, and a ground control station, and requires wireless communication for control. UAVs are commonly used for observation and tactical planning in numerous sectors such as military & defense, commercial, and other sectors.
