Research Summary
A small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), often referred to as a small UAV or sUAS (small Unmanned Aircraft System), is an unmanned aircraft system characterized by its compact size, lightweight construction, and remote-controlled or autonomous operation. These small UAVs typically weigh less than 55 pounds (25 kilograms) and can vary in size from handheld drones to small fixed-wing aircraft. Small UAVs are equipped with various sensors, cameras, or other payloads for tasks such as aerial photography, surveying, mapping, surveillance, and monitoring. They are widely used in numerous applications, including agriculture, environmental monitoring, search and rescue, infrastructure inspection, filmmaking, and recreational purposes. Small UAVs offer the advantages of cost-effectiveness, versatility, and ease of deployment compared to larger, manned aircraft, allowing for efficient data collection and aerial operations in various industries and environments.
