An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone, as an unmanned aircraft system (UAS), and also referred by several other names, is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard. The flight of UAVs may be controlled with various kinds of autonomy : either by a given degree of remote control from an operator, located on the ground or in another vehicle, or fully autonomously, by onboard computers.
Historically, UAVs were simple remotely piloted aircrafts, but autonomous control is increasingly being employed : UAV stands nowadays at the crossroads of aviation, electromagnetics, radiocommunication, computer science, avionics, automation, cybernetics, and even core fields of artificial intelligence such as computer vision, decision-making, machine learning and robotics.
UAVs are often preferred for missions that are too "dull, dirty or dangerous" for manned aircrafts. They have and are mostly found in military and special operation applications. Though, UAVs are increasingly finding uses in civil applications, such as policing and surveillance, aerial filming and hobbyist FPV racing.

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard. Its flight is controlled either autonomously by onboard computers or by the remote control of a pilot on the ground or in another vehicle. The typical launch and recovery method of an unmanned aircraft is by the function of an automatic system or an external operator on the ground. There are a wide variety of UAV shapes, sizes, configurations, and characteristics. Historically, UAVs were simple remotely piloted aircraft, but autonomous control is increasingly being employed. They are usually deployed for military and special operation applications, but also used in a small but growing number of civil applications, such as policing and firefighting, and nonmilitary security work, such as...
From military weapons expos in Jordan to idyllic SoCal beaches, we caught up with some of those who are building and selling unmanned aerial vehicles all over the world, and even convinced a few companies to let us take their flying spy robots for a spin.

Drones. These unmanned flying robots–some as large as jumbo jets, others as small as birds–do things straight out of science fiction. Much of what it takes to get these robotic airplanes to fly, sense, and kill has remained secret. Let's reveal the amazing technologies that make drones so powerful as we see how a remotely-piloted drone strike looks and feels from inside the command center. From cameras that can capture every detail of an entire city at a glance to swarming robots that can make decisions on their own to giant air frames that can stay aloft for days on end, drones are changing our relationship to war, surveillance, and each other. And it's just the beginning. Discover the cutting edge technologies that are propelling us toward a new chapter in aviation history. https://youtu...
C'est un aérodyne télécommandé qui emporte une charge utile, destinée à des missions de surveillance, de renseignement, de combat ou de transport . Les drones sont généralement utilisés au profit des forces armées ou de sécurité (police, douane, etc.) d'un État, mais peuvent avoir aussi des applications civiles, voire de loisir. La charge utile du drone de combat ou UCAV (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle) est une arme. En France le mot drone est utilisé pour décrire un véhicule ou robot terrestre, de surface ou sous-marins dotés d'autonomie. La classification américaine des mobiles autonomes sans pilote en UAV/UAS (unmanned air vehicle / unmanned aircraft system, véhicule/système aérien non piloté), USV/USS (surface), UUV/UUS (sous-marins), UGC/UGS (robots terrestres) est la plus généraleme...

Anderson discusses making low-cost, unmanned aerial vehicles like planes and blimps. Following on President Obama's call to "begin again the work of remaking America," Maker Faire 2009 was organized around the theme of Re-Make America. Held in the San Francisco Bay Area, Maker Faire celebrates what President Obama called "the risk takers, the doers, and the makers of things." - Maker Faire 2009 Chris Anderson is editor-in-chief of Wired M...
There's a little known fact about the Philippine Military that may never have come to light... If Congress had not begun probing alleged corruption in the armed forces. We were close to having our own unmanned aerial vehicles as early as a decade ago. Not only were these initial UAVs cheap... They were also homegrown.

Growing UAV traffic must be carefully managed. Governments and aviation authorities need to ensure safe and secure operation of UAVs in smart cities, preventing collisions. We are working to provide centralized UAV monitoring and control solutions for operators, governments and public safety departments.
The Government has committed to the acquisition of the highly-capable Triton Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), subject to the successful completion of the US Navy development program currently under way. These aircraft will patrol Australia's vast ocean approaches, and work closely with other existing and future Australian Defence Force assets to secure our ocean resources, including energy resources off northern Australia, and help to protect our borders. They will provide the Australian Defence Force with unprecedented maritime surveillance capabilities, operating at altitudes up to 55,000 feet over extremely long ranges while remaining airborne for up to 33 hours. The Triton UAVs will be based in Adelaide, bringing significant economic benefits to South Australia.
