Description: WEAPON OF HOPE taking flight ! UAVs include both autonomous drones and remotely piloted vehicles (RPVs). UCAV is an UAV that is used for intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance and carries ordnance such as missiles, ATGMs, and/or bombs in hardpoints for drone strikes. Loitering munition fit in the niche between cruise missiles and unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs), sharing characteristics with both. In the 21th century technology reached a point of sophistication that the UAV is now being given a greatly expanded role in many areas of aviation.
