military unmanned aerial vehicles - UAVs - or as most commonly known - drones.
An unmanned combat aerial vehicle UCAV also known as a combat drone or drone, is an unmanned aerial vehicle - UAV - that is usually armed , such as with missiles. Aircraft of this type have no onboard human pilot. These drones are usually under real-time human control, with the human's role in UCAV system according to levels of autonomy of UCAV and data communication requirement. Equipment necessary for a human pilot (such as the cockpit, armor, ejection seat, flight controls, and environmental controls for pressure and oxygen) are not needed, as the operator runs the vehicle from a remote terminal, resulting in a lower weight and size than a manned aircraft.
