What does UAV stand for?

UAV is an abbreviation that stands for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, also frequently called an uncrewed aerial vehicle. This term designates an aircraft that operates without the need for an onboard human pilot. Typically, these aircraft, which are widely referred to as drones, are managed through remote control or guided by integrated computer systems. This represents a significant advancement in autonomous flight technology, expanding the boundaries of what’s possible in the realm of aviation.
