Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Advisory Group was set up in 2015 by the United Nations’ civil aviation arm to draw up global rules and regulations for the safe use of unmanned aircraft. [8] The team comprises countries such as the United States, France and China, as well as industry bodies like the global pilots' association. [8]
As of December 2020, the FAA requires all commercial UAS operators to obtain a remote pilot license under Part 107 of the Federal Aviation Regulations.To qualify for a Part 107 UAS license, an applicant must be over 16 years of age, demonstrate proficiency in the English language, have the physical and mental capacity to operate a UAS safely, pass a written exam of aeronautical knowledge, and ...
Whether an UAV is going through experimental flying or proving trials or is carrying out the CAA's definition of 'aerial work', i.e. paid flying activity, the UAV pilot and commander have to suitably qualified. Argument abounds as to whether the best UAV pilot is a qualified and experienced manned aircraft pilot or a video game expert.
[11] [12] Tier I: Role currently filled by the Dragon Eye but all ongoing and future procurement for the Dragon Eye program is going now to the RQ-11B Raven B. Tier II: Role currently filled by the Scan Eagle and the AAI RQ-7 Shadow. Tier III: For two decades, the role of medium range tactical UAV was filled by the Pioneer UAV.

UAV manufacturer Umiles Next tested its prototype 'Integrity3' and demonstrated collision-avoidance systems as part of its U-space initiative. [31] According to the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), U-space includes "all the services required to ensure [UAVs] operate effectively, safely, and securely."
An autonomous aircraft is an aircraft which flies under the control of on-board autonomous robotic systems and needs no intervention from a human pilot or remote control.Most contemporary autonomous aircraft are unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) with pre-programmed algorithms to perform designated tasks, but advancements in artificial intelligence technologies (e.g. machine learning) mean that ...
Drone warfare is a form of warfare using robots.Robot types include unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAV) or weaponized commercial unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), unmanned surface vehicles, and ground based drones. [1]
