According to military scientists, the full name of the term UAV is Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, which refers to aircraft without pilots, like a robot that can be remotely controlled by a complex technological system. When combined with new GPS positioning systems and infrared devices along with artificial intelligence (AI), UAVs have actually directly participated in combat and become extremely important weapons that bring high efficiency and decisiveness on the battlefield.
In addition, UAVs are also highly applicable in other fields such as agriculture, industry, delivery or in search and rescue, traffic monitoring, weather, video recording, etc.
