Véhicules aériens sans pilote

Véhicules aériens sans pilote, or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), refer to aircraft that operate without a human pilot on board. These devices are remotely controlled or can operate autonomously through onboard computers. UAVs are used for various applications, including military operations, surveillance, reconnaissance, and commercial purposes such as agriculture, delivery services, and aerial photography. Their ability to access areas that may be dangerous for manned aircraft and to perform tasks without onboard crew has led to increased use and technological advancements in this field. UAVs can vary in size, complexity, and capabilities, ranging from small drones used for hobbyist purposes to large systems used by the military. The term emphasizes the absence of a pilot, which allows for innovative applications in both civilian and military sectors.
