UAV? Drone? Tomato…..Tomato…. Same Thing Right?
What is UAS? An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a
drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot on board. Its flight is controlled either autonomously by computers in the vehicle, or under the remote control of a pilot on the ground or in another vehicle.
The term unmanned aircraft system (UAS) emphasizes the importance of other elements beyond an aircraft itself. A typical UAS consists of the: unmanned aircraft (UA) control system, such as Ground Control Station (GCS) control link, a specialized datalink other related support equipment.
