An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Is A Plane That Does Not Have A Human Pilot Or Passengers

 

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) 

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) were initially developed in the twentieth century for military missions that were too "dull, dirty, or dangerous" for humans, and by the twenty-first, they had become essential assets to the majority of militaries. Control technologies' use expanded to many non-military applications as they improved and costs decreased. Forest fire monitoring, aerial photography, product deliveries, agriculture, policing and surveillance, infrastructure inspections, science, smuggling, and drone racing are among them.

An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), also known as a drone, is an aircraft that does not have a human pilot, crew, or passengers on board. UAVs are a component of an unmanned aircraft system (UAS), which also includes a ground-based controller and a communication system with the UAV. [1] The flight of UAVs may be controlled remotely by a human operator, as in remotely-piloted aircraft (RPA), or with varying degrees of autonomy, such as autopilot assistance, up to fully autonomous aircraft with no provision for human intervention.

The term drone has been used since the early days of aviation, when it was applied to remotely-flown target aircraft used for practise firing of a battleship's guns, such as the Fairey Queen and the de Havilland Queen Bee of the 1920s and 1930s. Later examples included the Airspeed Queen Wasp and Miles Queen Martinet, both of which were eventually replaced by the GAF Jindivik. The term is still widely used. Aside from software, autonomous drones use a variety of advanced technologies to complete missions without human intervention, including cloud computing, computer vision, artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, and thermal sensors. An aerial photography drone (as opposed to a UAV) is a recreational aircraft with first-person video, autonomous capabilities, or both.

Small unmanned aerial systems (sUASs) are difficult to detect, identify, classify, and, as a result, counter, especially in urban areas. As the United States Department of Homeland Security prepares for this potential threat, it will need to understand the types of threat scenarios in which these systems could be used, which design elements are likely to be exploited by a malicious actor, and which technologies and capabilities may become available in the near future. Drones, or Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), have become more common, widely available, and sophisticated. They also have enhanced data collection capabilities and autonomous behaviour. Their cybersecurity implications necessitate a well-coordinated strategy.
