An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), also known as a Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV), or Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) is an aircraft that flies without a human crew on board used primarily in the military. There are two main types of UAVs- those controlled via a remote location and those that fly based on pre-programmed flight plans determined by a much more complex dynamic automation system. Usage for UAVs vary from military reconnaissance to information-gathering, attack missions, firefighting, and even nonmilitary security work. UAVs have become essential to the military's technological approach to a modernized battlefield.
